MUSIC AND LYRICS: Dean Lewis's Waves
I have known this song for a while and when I decided to look deeper into the lyrics, it resonated so deeply within me and I could relate to every line. I read it to myself like a poem, feeling the emotions that comes with every word and every line and the verses and the pre-chorus and the chorus and the entirety of the song. I listened again and it meant so much more than it did the other days I have listened to it.
I interpreted the song a certain way, and shockingly, I realized through the official video that the singer interpreted it another way. Maybe he was being peotic and I was the one that took the lyrics literally (it's fun though). To him, it was a sad and 'sort of' an heartbreak song, a story of two people and one falling out of love with the other, and the feeling slowly fading away. Then you wonder if the good and perfect times you had will ever come back again and you can be free with each other again.
To me, the song is about losing oneself and slowly becoming another person, and you don't even know how to control it. I could really relate to this so much because I used to be someone I loved to be; fun, outspoken, optimistic, free-spirited, daring. Lately, I have just become so quiet and silent, I don't want to be seen, I get scared easily, I get shy, and I have been introduced to a world of anxiety.
Sometimes, I wish I can just go back to that person I used to be. Other times, I wonder if I can ever be that person again or if it is lost forever. I know I can capable of so much more, but I find it hard to do what is needed. The previous me would dare do attempt anything and even she failed, she would not be defeated because she would try all over again.
Somehow, I know that there is that other side of me somewhere but it just seems to be out of reach. Maybe someday, I will get to be that person again, or even become much better. I hope I find myself again and never lose it to any other circumstance.
Do I recommend this song? Absolutely! Infact, I recommend Dean Lewis himself; You should totally check his songs out.

I have known this song for many years now. I don't even remember how I found it, but I used to have it on repeat. Deal Lewis is one of my favourite singers.
Reading through this post of mine, it reminds me of how bitter-sweet love can be. It's a complex plane of reality.
Just like you, also, I used to be daring and free spirited. Now, I am more mellow and cautious of every step I take. I think it stems from bitter experiences from the mistakes we've made in the past. One may have been a little too carefree, in love maybe, and then lost the person that they truly love because of it. And then you just learn to be a little more careful, and that stretches into other parts of our lives. I don't know what to say about how to deal with it, but know that I understand.
Personally, I really love your taste in music. I don't know much about it, but it's quite obvious that it is so good. And yes, Dean Lewis is so amazing, and I really hope to discover more artists like him.
I always wonder why it is so, I guess it's just the aftermath of what life had thrown at us. The effect was the unconscious change that we realized only until later, when it has engulfed us so much.
