*Shels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she's waiting for
It all to end and
When she sees them walk by
With their Wings
And with their Smiles
I t reminds her
Of all the things
Don't remind her
Coz all she has
Is all she had
I'm alone in this world
But I'm waiting for
It all to mend
As I see them walk by
With their Wings
And with their Smiles
It reminds me
Of all the things
That I used to have
Don't remind me! coz I!
The lyrics to *Shels's song "Water" evoke a sense of loneliness and longing for a bygone past. The first verse describes a woman who is alone in this world and is waiting for everything to end. When she sees others who are happy and carefree with their "Wings" and "Smiles," it reminds her of what she used to have. However, the second verse shifts perspective to the singer, who also feels alone but is waiting for things to mend. The imagery in the second verse is nearly identical to the first verse, emphasizing the cyclical nature of human experience.
The repetition of the phrase "Don't remind me" is poignant, as it shows the pain that comes with remembering what was lost. The melody is melancholic and the lyrics are introspective, making it a song that resonates with many people who have felt lonely or lost. The ambiguous ending with the unfinished line "coz I..." adds to the sense of yearning for resolution.
