| A Loss for Words – Wrightsville Beach Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I feel like this song is about a tough break up. One that they never thought would happen but, sure enough, it did and now, they need to move on. I can relate to this song. I basically went through the same thing: ignoring problems, trying to make the impossible happen. In the end, I had to realize that the relationship wasn't meant to be and I moved on. This is my interpretation: Verse 1: Everything was picture perfect. They were both so happy but, over time, their relationship started to break down. They weren't as strong and everything was just falling apart and becoming miserable. Chorus: He's accepting the fact that this relationship can't continue on. The "waves" to me are every thing that they've both been holding back. It's time to stop trying to make things work, say what they feel, and move on from there. They tried to keep it together but, they need to just forgive and forget. "Was it enough to be brave?" I feel like he's asking whether it was worth the long struggle. Verse 2: He's confused as to how they lasted so long with every thing that was so obviously wrong. They just tried to ignore their problems because, they expected to last. "You were the sand beneath my feet, eroded by the tide." He felt grounded with her but, as the tide drags in the sand on the beach, she was becoming more distant and he knew he was losing her. Bridge: I love how, at first, he speaks of himself. Then, he speaks for the both of them. He realizes that it's not worth it. Neither of them are happy and they could have it so much better. They don't want to be pushed around by the "current", confused and upset. They want to be content, they want someone that will make them happy ("not to be alone"). |
