Waves (remix) (feat. Chris Brown, T.I. & Robin Schulz)

In 'Waves (remix),' Mr Probz, along with Chris Brown, T.I., and Robin Schulz, delves into the emotional turmoil and existential struggles that many people face. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with anxiety, paranoia, and the overwhelming pressures of life. The metaphor of waves is central to the song, symbolizing the relentless challenges and emotional highs and lows that the protagonist experiences. The recurring imagery of drifting and drowning conveys a sense of helplessness and the struggle to stay afloat amidst life's adversities.

The lyrics also touch on themes of love and misunderstanding. The protagonist expresses a deep love for those around him, yet feels that this love is not reciprocated or understood. This disconnect adds to his sense of isolation and emotional distress. The line 'Heart so big I be down to die' underscores the protagonist's willingness to sacrifice for his loved ones, even though he feels unappreciated. This emotional conflict is further compounded by the pressures of fame and the constant scrutiny from others, as highlighted in the lines about everyone pulling at him and looking at him whenever he leaves the house.

The song also explores the fear of mortality and the legacy one leaves behind. The dream sequence where the protagonist envisions his own wake is a poignant moment that underscores his existential anxiety. The repeated refrain of 'drifting away' and 'pulling against the stream' encapsulates the struggle to find stability and meaning in a chaotic world. The collaboration with Chris Brown, T.I., and Robin Schulz adds layers of vocal and musical depth, enhancing the song's emotional resonance and making it a powerful anthem for anyone feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges.
