The Tide Is High Lyrics

Cover art for The Tide Is High lyrics by Blondie

Although it is a beach song, the tide here I think is more of a metaphor. For what? I guess "the tide is high but I'm holding on" means that she's perservering against the odds. The odds of what? The song is about trying to get the attention of a man who might be out of her league.

A-ha! So it is an admiited that there is still such a thing as leagues in society after high school!
