The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Sad Boy" by the artist "WAVE"

Contents

The lyrics of the song "Sad Boy" by WAVE tell the story of a deep emotional pain and loneliness of the lyrical hero, hidden behind a mask of indifference.

The image of the "sad boy": This is a collective image of a person suffering from unrequited love. He has lost the meaning of life ("he is dying"), love for him is both an "angel" and "wings", without which he cannot exist. Despite outward well-being ("He has everything he wants"), he is devastated inside. A fake smile hides tears, and the hope for reciprocity gradually fades away, being replaced by the realization of hopelessness ("But you don't care, and he knows it").

The motif of waiting: The repeating lines "He is always waiting for your letters, always waiting for your call" emphasize the agonizing wait that becomes the only meaning for the hero. He clings to a ghostly hope, although he realizes that his love is unrequited.

Split personality: The text presents the image of a "pure soul" that is contrasted with the hero's current state. He "lost his mind," lost himself in this love, becoming a slave to his illusions ("believes in falsehood").

Culmination: The confession "This guy is me" reveals the depth of the lyrical hero's suffering. He no longer hides behind an impersonal image, but openly speaks about his pain. Repeating this phrase enhances the drama and hopelessness of the situation.

Final: Returning to the image of the "sad boy" walking down the street and hiding his tears, emphasizes the cyclical nature of his state. He is locked in his loneliness and pain, seeing no way out of this situation.

Sad boy, he's walking down the streets

Always smiles, cuz he tries to fight back his tears

Lost his angel, lost his wings, he's dying

All this beautiful world couldn't save all his dreams

He has everything he wants

But who can live without love?

He always waits for your e-mails

He always waits for your calls

But you don't care and he knows it

He always waits for your love and

He always waits, can't you see?

The problem's easy — that boy is me, that boy is me.

Sad boy has no friends at all

He lost his mind, he lost his pure soul

Sticks and stones didn't break his bones, but he believes in false

She doesn't need him at all

He has everything he likes

He doesn't live, he doesn't try...

He always waits for your e-mails

He always waits for your calls

But you don't care and he knows it

He always waits for your love and

He always waits, can't you see?

The problem's easy — that boy is me, that boy is me.

That boy is me...

Sad boy, he's walking down the streets

Always smiles, cuz he tries to fight back his tears...
