Cherry Waves Lyrics

This song is deeper than you think. This is an Allegory about self-destructive behaviour, probably Drug Abuse and dragging down the one who loves you. "You hang anchors over my neck" , Implying that she will pull him down with her. Would she do that intentionally? He loves her so much that he would go down with her and try to save her. I can relate to this song. This happenned to me and she is dead. This song speaks to me.

@killareal Sorry to hear about your experience, although I was hoping to find someone who shared my interpretation of this song. Its interesting how a person's take on a song can change completely depending on what they had lived through.

@killareal @killareal exactly what I got from it. Same situation. 7 years of my life and tens of thousands of dollars (a lot on drugs for her because I didnt want her going out on the streets to find stuff) later. Then she dies on me. Not from an overdose though. But I think her condition was exacerbated my years of serious drug abuse. And now I have a problem. Broken back too though but. This song and Xerxes really speak to me and the way I fealt. Even though she was damaged I still loved her more than anything...

@killareal absolutely nailed it. \r\nI\'m sorry for your loss (all of them). \r\n
