Against The Tide is a pop song, written with a slight 80's new wave feel.
It's about changing paths, letting go of the stress associated with ambition and material desires, and accepting a new simpler, more natural lifestyle.
lyrics
why are we never satisfied no more?
permanently reaching to the sky above
cos' we gotta be better than them, better than them
tell me when you work it out, is it better?
open your eyes it's 6am again
i'm walking the sands, you're crushed inside the rush hour train
cos you gotta be better than them, better than them
i used to think the same but i'm changing
ooh i'm changing, i'm changing my ways
swimming against the tide, moving the other way
changing, changing my ways
leading the simple life, riding the easy wave
confident smiles and educated tongues
cling to a wire that keeps them off the bottom rung
ah to be better than them, better than them
my hollow days are done, i feel better
ooh i'm changing, changing my ways
swimming against the tide, moving the other way
changing, changing, changing my ways
changing, changing my ways
swimming against the tide, drifting across the waves
ooh i'm changing, changing my ways
leading the simple life, moving the other way
changing, changing my ways
