tidal wave
Tidal Wave of Emotions: Rosie Carney's Poetic Reflections on Love and Regret
Lyrics
The water is high and I'm getting older
The water level is rising, and I am aging.
And I thought by now that I would be stronger
Despite the passage of time, I expected to be emotionally stronger by now.
But I cry when the lights go out
I cry when the lights go out, indicating emotional pain or vulnerability.
Yeah, I cry though my tears run out
Expressing continued emotional distress even after tears have been shed.
Three doors down it was full of laughter
A reminiscence of joyful times, possibly with a friend or loved one.
When you used to call and say, "Can she come over?"
Recalling moments when someone used to ask if another person could join in the happiness.
And we'd lie under a summer sun
Reflecting on lying together under the sun during past summers.
And our lives, they had just begun
Noting that their lives had just started during those carefree times.
Hey, please don't go again
Pleading for someone not to leave again.
I promise to pretend
Promising to pretend something, possibly to maintain a facade.
You didn't try to smoke that cigarette
Reference to someone attempting to smoke a cigarette, possibly a risky behavior.
Before I forget
An urgency to convey something before it's forgotten.
I just wanna say
Expressing a desire to say something important.
I'm gonna love you anyway
Commitment to love despite challenges.
My mind is loud, it has its own city
Describing a busy and noisy mind, possibly filled with negative thoughts.
The people crowd 'cause they feel so shitty
People gather in the mind, feeling unhappy or troubled.
So I'll make them a tidal wave
Expressing an intention to create a powerful emotional impact, like a tidal wave.
Take a breath and get washed away
Suggesting a desire to cleanse and start anew by letting emotions wash over.
Hey, please don't go again
Repeated plea for someone not to leave.
I promise to pretend
Reiterating a commitment to pretend something.
I wasn't gonna smoke that cigarette
Referring to the temptation or intention to smoke a cigarette.
Before I forget
Repeating an urgent message before it's forgotten.
I just wanna say
Expressing a desire to convey something important.
I'm gonna love you anyway
Reaffirming the commitment to love despite challenges.
I'm gonna love you anyway
Repeating the determination to love regardless of difficulties.
I'm gonna love you anyway
Reiterating the commitment to love.
I'm gonna love you
A strong affirmation of the commitment to love.
Hey, please don't go again
Repeated plea for someone not to leave.
I promise to pretend
Reiterating the promise to pretend something.
There's never been a day that I regret
Stating there is no day of regret, possibly suggesting acceptance of the past.
Before I forget
Repeating the urgency to convey something important before forgetting.
I just wanna say
Expressing a desire to say something significant.
I'm gonna love you anyway
A final affirmation of the commitment to love despite challenges.
