Exhale
wav-Dr. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
1000 ships above horizon
Coming for war again
Start your power box
Covet your supplies
Somethings hidden in the clouds
Cant see it with your eyes
The dogs are barking
Out there in the lawn
When the water comes its pouring in
Flowing with the dawn
Life's a forming stone
Tiny grains of sand
Frozen up and locked inside a vision of who i am
There's no more politics when fire burns the land
Release the vail as i exhale and take me where i stand
13 Horses 13 men
1000 ships above horizon coming for war again
13 Voices 13 pens
1000 words above horizon coming for war again
Start your chatter box
Covet your supplies
There's poison hidden in the ground
Cant see it with your eyes
The streets are crowded
There is no where else to go
They moved the land
Now I cant stand
Won't say i didnt know
Life's a moving wave out there in the sea
Its never still as it can feel the earth beneath its feet
13 Horses 13 men
Coming for war again
Start your power box
Covet your supplies
Somethings hidden in the clouds
Can't see it with your eyes
The lyrics of wav-Dr.'s song Exhale talk about a world in chaos where wars are waged and people fight for resources. The image of 13 horses and 13 men, along with 1000 ships on the horizon, points towards an impending battle, while lines like "start your power box/covet your supplies" speaks to a world plagued by scarcity and competition. The theme of things being hidden in the clouds and the ground that can't be seen with one's eyes refers to the unseen dangers that may be lurking in our world, whether it be pollution or other threats.
The lyrics speak about how life is a "forming stone" with "tiny grains of sand" that make up who we are. This idea is juxtaposed against the chaos of war and the destruction it brings. The line "there's no more politics when fire burns the land" highlights the idea that in times of war, political ideology becomes irrelevant as people fight for their survival. The song then speaks about the power of nature and the release of the veil during an exhale, taking one to where they stand.
In the second half of the song, the lyrics talk about people's voices and pens being instrumental in the fight, with the same 13 individuals now replaced by 13 voices and 13 pens. The lyrics then speak about the world being poisoned, with hidden dangers in the ground. The final stanza speaks of how life is like a moving wave in the sea, that is never still and can feel the earth beneath its feet.
