One Wave
Riding the Tides of Truth: Soulcracker's 'One Wave' Meaning Unveiled
Lyrics
I spent my money on a piece of land
I invested my money in acquiring a piece of land
To build a castle on a patch of sand
With the intention of constructing a castle on a vulnerable foundation
I know it's a bad foundation
Acknowledging the instability of the chosen foundation
You can't wait for my humiliation
Aware that others anticipate and derive satisfaction from my failure
You told me so, so many times now
People have warned me about the potential consequences numerous times
And if it happens I can cry my eyes out
If the failure occurs, I can express my sadness
It's no better to be just like him
It's not desirable to become like someone who faces a similar situation
If something happens than we'll both need to swim
Both of us would need to navigate challenges if something goes wrong
One wave could wash it away, yeah
A single adversity could destroy everything
The sun is green the sky is red
An expression of a surreal or distorted perception of reality
Or it might as well be outside your head
Reality may be distorted within one's mind
I stand in contradiction to the truth in your subscription
Standing in opposition to the truth presented in your beliefs
I know that what might be might not
Acknowledging uncertainty about what the future may hold
And being holy might just be dry rot
Suggesting that being perceived as holy may be superficial and decayed
And even though you built on a big rock
Despite building on a solid foundation, essentials are lacking
There's not a nail in the house that you got
Not having the necessary support or elements for stability
Chorus
Repetition of the chorus
You keep on lying to yourself
Continuing to deceive oneself despite inner fears
But you're just as scared as everyone else
Acknowledging personal fear, suggesting shared vulnerability
Not to say that I'm not scared too
Admitting personal fear while emphasizing the advice received
But you're the one who's telling me what I should do
Despite personal fears, being influenced by someone else's guidance
Just pretend there's a god above you
Suggesting a coping mechanism of imagining a protective deity
And you can turn him into someone who loves you
Transforming the imagined deity into a source of love and support
And if you keep him just beyond you
Keeping the deity at a distance, providing a faith for others to hold onto
You got a faith for people to hold onto
Creating a belief system that offers solace to others
Chorus
Repetition of the chorus
