From the recording Unplugged and Overmedicated
This song is inspired by Led Zeppelin vibes. Lyrically it is about having to ride "the waves", our brainwaves, even if it means it requires prescribed medication and therapy to make it through.
Lyrics
The Waves
VRS
Sitting in the shade feeling faded
Can’t think straight I’m fucking sedated
All hopped up, over medicated
The meds just have me frustrated
CH
But I think I wanna feel alive
Have an actual sex drive
Live life wholly, Fully thrive
Not in a perpetual nose dive
VRS
I’m a slave to my brainwaves
So I take my pills and I behave
But I don’t want to ride the waves
No I don’t want to ride the waves
CH
I think I wanna feel alive
Have an actual sex drive
Live life wholly, Fully thrive
Not in a perpetual nose dive
BRD
On psychotropic drugs
I feel nothing
Steal my sorrow and joy
For so many somethings
But without them I’d be nowhere
In the bottom on a pit of up in the clouds
The waves are the only way
The waves are the only way
The waves are the only way
But I don’t want to ride the waves
OUTRO
I’m a slave to my brainwaves
So I take my pills and I behave
But I don’t want to ride the waves
But I don’t want to ride the waves
No I don’t want to ride the waves
