Waves
Embracing Destiny: Nouvelle Vague's Melancholic Waves of Love
Lyrics
Waves
Introduction to the theme of the song: "Waves."
And then goodbye
Expressing farewell or parting.
I live in a wafer thin dream
Describing existence in a fragile, delicate dream-like state.
I, I can't cry
Feeling emotionally numb or unable to cry.
You know the time
Acknowledgment of awareness about the passage of time.
Time's not kind
Implying that time can be harsh or unkind.
But I remember the way we were
Recollection of past memories and how things used to be.
The slow, slow sad love
Reflecting on a slow, melancholic form of love.
I wonder do you miss my love
Questioning whether the other person misses the speaker's love.
I know you can't
Realization that the other person cannot miss the love anymore.
It's just a wave passing over me
Describing emotional detachment as a passing phase or feeling.
What are these waves
Pondering about the nature of these emotional waves.
They're coming over me
Feeling overwhelmed by these emotional waves.
It must be my destiny
Attributing the experience to fate or destiny.
Waves
Reiteration of the theme of "Waves."
They're coming by
Emphasizing the recurring nature of these waves.
Goodbye, goodbye
Repeating "Goodbye" and the cycle of parting.
Waves
Reiteration of the theme of "Waves."
They're coming by
Emphasizing the recurring nature of these waves.
Goodbye, goodbye.
Repeating "Goodbye" and the cycle of parting.
