About This Track

‘Tides’ by Suede is a 2018 rock song from the album ‘The Blue Hour’. It finds the speaker caught in a compulsive, engulfing pull, with the tidal imagery dragging them under and leaving them uncertain of where it is all headed. Amid the sense of being remade, there’s wonder braided with fear, as the lyrics repeatedly return to control slipping away, from “It’s making me scared” to the quiet desperation of holding on.

"Tides" is a track by Suede, from the album The Blue Hour, released 20th September 2018. The track is 4:09 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 7 articles about Suede.

Lyrics

Tides

Tides are pulling, pulling me back to you
Dragging me under making me new
It's wonderful
It's wonderful
It's making me scared
I don't know where it's going
Clothed in pale gray
Rolling like driftwood
Waving at distant planes
I feel it against my paper cuts
And I'm holding onto nothing
Clinging to the void as I'm riding the wave
It's making me new again
Like a rain of bombs we'll fall to you
Through the blue, through the blue
Tides are pulling me
I'm lost in the pale rain
I'm clutching at debris
I'm trying to stay awake
The water level rises
I'm miles from the shore now
And I'm riding a wave
It's dragging me under again
Like a rain of bombs we'll fall to you
Through the blue, through the blue
Like a rain of bombs we'll drop from the sky
A rain of fire, a rain of fire
Tides are puling, pulling me back to you
Taking my hand, dragging me under
It's wonderful
It's wonderful
Pulling me under, pulling me through
Tides are puling, pulling me back to you
Taking me over, making me new
It's wonderful
It's wonderful
Pulling me under, pulling me back to you
