WAVY
Embracing Chaos: Unraveling Meaning in 'WAVY'
Lyrics
I say the burning man is burning cos' he can
The burning man accepts his fate willingly.
So why don't you believe me
Questioning someone's disbelief in the speaker's statement.
I say the spinning top is spinning while it stands
A metaphorical spinning top symbolizing instability.
So it can fall down easy
The instability is intentional for an easier downfall.
I'll try to tell you anything you want to hear
Expressing willingness to say what the listener wants to hear.
So you don't have to feed me
The speaker doesn't want to burden others; they can fend for themselves.
I'll lose my head to you it's true so why do you
Despite being devoted, the speaker questions the partner's resistance to reason.
Keep trying to fight with reason?
Addressing the futile attempts to argue logically.
All the time
An unspecified period of persistent conflict or challenge.
Watch it spill
An observation of something overflowing or spilling over.
Be the pool
Suggesting the idea of being a source or origin.
Try to fill

What you can't
An encouragement to pursue what seems unattainable.
While you can

Be the fool

Play the man
Encouraging a bold and assertive approach.
I say that retrograde's the only way to walk for you to see it clearly
Suggesting a contrary or unconventional path for clarity.
You make a lemon out of lemonade
Turning a negative situation into a positive one.
You mock the things that make you queasy
Ridiculing discomfort or uneasiness towards certain things.
Quit trying so damn hard to find a mind like mine
Advising against the strenuous effort to find a like-minded individual.
Cos' you won't find it really
Expressing the speaker's uniqueness that is hard to comprehend.
I split the pieces of my pie with powers I
Sharing resources reluctantly with powers the speaker doesn't believe in.
Just simply don't believe in
The speaker rejects certain beliefs or ideologies.
All the time
A repetition emphasizing the persistence of a situation or conflict.
Watch it spill
