| Greg Laswell – Comes and Goes (In Waves) Lyrics | 10 years ago |

Please. Please. Please. Not all songs are about love and relationships. As a wallflower, I relate to this song deeply, and no there's nothing about losing love here. This one's for the lonely The one's that seek and find Only to be let down Time after time I was hooked with the first line. Every wallflower isn't a wallflower by choice. We just can't deal with the bullshit fakeness going around. We seeked sanity, we seeked friendship that was not valued by cliches and materials, only to be broken hearted and disappointed with people time after time, going back into our solitary cell. The prison of our own device. This one's for the torn down The experts at the fall Come on friends get up now You're not alone at all Greg relates to himself, he tells us we're not alone. There are introverts like us around the world, we just have to find them. And this part was for her And this part was for her This part was for her Does she remember? He wrote this song for someone like us. Does that person remember? Or did she lose her hope in humanity and lock herself forever? It's more like he is talking to himself. Hoping she remembers that she's not alone. Hoping she didn't leave forever. It comes and goes and waves The sorrow, the disappointment comes and goes. Sometimes we are happy to be left alone. But then we try to find ... try to have some faith... This one's for the faithless The ones that are surprised They're only where they are now Regardless of their fight This one's for believing If only for it's sake Come on friends get up now Love is to be made This part is for the people who have already lost their faith in humanity. Already locked themselves... He says, get up now; don't lose faith so soon. There are people. Real people. Waiting for you This is for the ones who stand For the ones who try again For the ones who need a hand For the ones that think they can Look beyond yourself; there are plenty of people fighting their demons. Depression, take a little time. Find love. Help them. It comes in waves I, Am only led to wonder why It comes and goes in waves I, Am only led to wonder why Why I try This is the most painful part of the song for me. After the feeling has passed, there's this emptiness. Always around me. When I want to go away, And lock myself. This is a very subtle song that talks about the struggles introverts feel in the world. We try to love, to be loved. But there comes a time when everything nauseates us. In our trough we lock ourselves from the world. Something I'm going through right now. I hope someone reads this and understand that they are not alone in their solitary cell. All of us are. |
