The song "’Til The Tide Creeps In" by The Thrills tells the story of feeling like time has passed you by and struggling to find inspiration. The lyrics mention being in a San Diego pad and feeling like five or six years have gone by without anything changing. The protagonist feels like they are facing writer's block and pressure from their agent to produce new work. Despite the challenges, they find solace in the idea of dancing and laughing until the tide comes in, symbolizing a sense of freedom and enjoyment. The song captures the feeling of being stuck in a rut but finding joy in the little moments.
