The Waves by Bjørn Riis tells the story of a person who has been struggling and feeling like they are drowning in darkness for a long time. They feel helpless and far removed from those who are trying to help them. The person is trying to reach out for help, but they feel like they are being dragged down by the waves and can't find their way back to the surface. They are hallucinating and feeling the coldness of the water around them. Finally, they let go and surrender to the waves, ready to be taken home. The song captures the feeling of being overwhelmed and lost, but also the sense of peace that can come from surrendering to the unknown.
