Question

Caught in the pull, its a tidal wave.

But dont realize, so its not brave.

Selfishness looks good on none.

Tidal waves will affect someone.

Always something, covering it all.

Tidal waves, with the rise and fall.

It's going to be really easy, I know that. But don't you ever get something in your head and you just have to write it? Well, that's what this one is. So it's easy, but I hope you still enjoy solving.

caught in a trap

Trying...

Nope not that.

the rise and fall of a civilization?

--It rises, crests, and falls

--we aren't aware of it

--those who are selfish can effect others of the civilization...

I've been away from BD for a few months (did ya miss me?) so I may be a bit rusty... just thinking out loud.

You don't seem rusty to me, that is a very well thought out guess. Not correct, mind you, but very great. Keep it up. Oh, and of course we missed ya, glad to have you back!

Edit: Oops, I missed that next guess from you. Not that either.

what could go with lies...... deception, or maybe crimes???

Let's try...

The bolded word will definitely go along with the answer. (Well in most cases.)

Vanity/shame/original sin?

Caught in the pull, it’s a tidal wave.

But don’t realize, so it’s not brave. - if you "realize," or give recognition to someone who is vain and seeking attention, that will just make it worse - make the arrogance more brazen, "brave"

Selfishness looks good on none.

Tidal waves will affect someone.

Always something, covering it all.

Tidal waves, with the rise and fall. - Adam and Eve fell when they started covering their genitals

Or maybe peer pressure?

Hey DN, none of that. Sorry. I am currently trying to think up some more lines or possibly a hint. Stay tuned ;)

oblivion?

Hey Wilson, nice to see you. Not that. And while I am thinking up a good hint/more lines - here is something; think more basic. Something that could be in everyday life.

More lines. These will either help or hurt - I hope they help!

Coming in many forms or shapes

Tidal waves most always bring hate.

Throw the chips, yes on the rocks

Tidal waves almost never stop.

Like a gun, but don't aim down.

Tidal waves beat you to the ground.

I was thinking that too or like

gambling, but that seemed to obvious, something turmoilish. Like risk.

Obvious? With the new lines? Or with the original?

Your obvious guess could be, just like JKB's - but I need something more.

the affects that someone drinking has on the ones around them : family, friends, co-workers (if any), etc...

Yes, I am talking about that as well in there. But look at your guess before, and lotus's guess - and what do they have in common? That will definitely give it away.

I'm thinking there's something much simpler staring me in the face, like

the decline and fall sort of thing makes me think of reckless meets society, meets politics, but one simple word. the decline and fall of society, erg, this one has me.

addiction?

That'd be the word I am looking for. Quite the comeback for you lotus, seems you've been MIA for quite some time. But you popped right in and solved a riddle straight away. Nicely done.
