Dark Wave
Embracing Shadows: Unveiling the Deep Meaning of Morning Arcade's Dark Wave
Lyrics
It’s a funny flaky feeling I know all too well
Experiencing a peculiar and inconsistent emotion that is familiar.
See the ice sheets form around your eyes
Observing a cold, distant reaction in someone, depicted metaphorically as ice sheets forming around their eyes.
Bathe in the hollowness inside
Immersing oneself in a sense of emptiness within.
Full of wasted time
Feeling burdened by a past filled with unproductive moments.
And you feel like you wanna go and drown
Expressing a desire to escape or overcome emotional struggles.
Go and drown
Reiterating the urge to overcome challenges and difficulties symbolized by drowning.
There’s a dark wave shifting in the deep
Introducing a metaphorical "dark wave" symbolizing a significant and unsettling change or challenge.
Coming up to breathe
Describing the emergence of this unsettling change.
Feeding on whichever wolf is weak
Indicating the dark wave preying on vulnerability and weakness.
Find the knack to the taming of the beast
Suggesting that mastering the control or understanding of challenges leads to rewards.
And you’ll reap reward
Emphasizing the positive outcomes that come from facing and conquering difficulties.
See the ice sheets melting from your eyes
Continuing the metaphor of emotional thawing, representing a change or release of emotions.
Drain all the colours from your mind
Encouraging the removal of vivid and possibly overwhelming emotions from the mind.
Through an open door
Using an open door as a symbol for possibilities or opportunities to change or escape.
Still feel like you wanna go and drown
Despite opportunities for change, there is still a lingering desire to escape or succumb to difficulties.
Go and drown
Repeating the inclination to overcome challenges through drowning, possibly indicating a persistent struggle.
Go and drown
Reiteration of the desire to overcome difficulties through drowning, emphasizing the intensity of the emotional struggle.
