I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like
A thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment
I am happy, happy
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were
Here [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/i/incubus/wish_you_were_here_another_version.html ]
I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles
A backlit canopy
With holes punched in it
I'm counting UFOs
I signal them with
My lighter
And in this moment
I am happy, happy
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were
Here
Wish you were here
I, oh
The world's a rollercoaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
While my hands are
Busy in the air
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were
Here
Wish you were here
This song is very beautiful and easy to relate to... When i try to interprate it, it brings very immense feelings and almost brings tears..
To me, it seems like the person spent the entire day at the beach looking out into open space. They obviously are noticing how beautiful the world can be, especially at a beach all day and all night. "i'm counting ufos, signal them with my lighter. " this implies that the person is apathetic with their future enough to where they could get the attention of a mysterious unidentified spacecraft and not care what would happen afterwards, all while admiring the beauty of the stars. Also hinting at the feelings of apathy towards the future and being lost at the moment is the lyrics "the world's a roller coaster and i am not strapped in. Maybe i should hold with care, but my hands are busy in the air. "
these lyrics seem to show that like a roller coaster's ups and downs, the world can work from one extreme to another. It seems like they had unexpectedly lost someone they truly loved and are dealing with the grief that comes along with it by looking at the things in life that are beautiful and accepting the fact that they are gone and in a better place. It also seems like they are almost doubting their happiness. Basically, they simply wish that their loved one was there to enjoy the beauty with them.
This is an awesome song. Incubis is awesome. I think this song is about a guy who broke up with his girlfriend and he is sitting on the beach one day and is thinking about her.
I think this song is about a man who moved away from his girlfriend and as he is laying on the beach one day he is just wishing that she could be there with him
