Written in the D Dorian mode, this song is the closer of an autobiographical album. It is inspired by our need to experience pain to truly experience joy.
lyrics
Waves
Verse 1-
I feel, therefore I am
All built up like a dam
The pain overwhelming
While the joy is so numbing
Feeling it all, so overrun
Want to be grounded for once
Chorus-
Waves crash up and come back down
Waiting for the breakdown
Feeling it all to the full
Living in the push and the pull
Verse 2-
And it comes and goes in waves
How much more can I take?
The lows-so deep and dark
When my whole world falls apart
The highs-too good to be true
Waiting for the drop of the shoe
Chorus
Bridge-
Gotta live it all
Breaking down the wall
Can’t have one without the other
Pain is joy’s big brother
