Water
A.r.t. Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me your plan or give me your hand
Just take me away
It seems that our time has been compromised with little to say
More than a kiss is more than we'd miss while walking away
I see in those eyes
Things are alive
You bring me to water
Don't take on my fear
You bring me to water
I'm weak in the knees in hopes to appease the moment today
You're taking me in
The touch of your skin in delicate ways
You drew in the sand these footprints by hand
Now you've got me beat
You leave me this choice by the sweets of your voice
You'll become my sleep
I see in those eyes
Things are alive
You bring me to water
You say it so clear
Don't take on my fear
You bring me to water
Oh, your tides roll over me with drowning ecstasy
A lossless love is every day
Just take me away
Oh, yeah
Mhmm
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
I see in those eyes
Things are alive
You bring me to water
You say it so clear
Don't take on my fear
You bring me to water
I see in those eyes
Things are alive
You bring me to water
I'm fine to believe the garden's my peace
You bring me to water
The lyrics of A.r.t. Wilson's song "Water" paint a picture of heartache caused by a woman with a cold heart. The singer is in a state of constant pain, as every single day brings a new heartache his way. He doesn't want to say goodbye to the woman who keeps causing him pain, but he can't help but cry because of the way she treats him. She seems to have a heart that's made of ice, and she quickly turns on and off her feelings for the singer. Despite knowing that he's going to leave her, the singer still hopes to make her grieve somehow before he goes.
The line "fire and water musta made you their daughter" is repeated several times throughout the song, suggesting that the woman's nature is both fiery and cold. It's as if she has the ability to both burn and freeze the singer's heart. The title of the song, "Water," could be seen as a metaphor for this woman's nature, as water can be both gentle and soothing, but also powerful and destructive.

Every single day I got a heartache comin' my way
I experience pain and sadness every day
I don't wanna say goodbye, but look at the tears you made me cry
I don't want to leave, but your actions have caused me much pain
I don't wanna say goodbye, mama
I don't want to leave, my love
But look at the way you made me cry
You have caused me much emotional distress
Every way that's nice
You seem kind and pleasant
You got a heart that's made of ice
You are emotionless and cold
That's why I know (fire and water musta made you their daughter)
I understand that you are a product of intense passion and fierce intensity
You've got what it takes to make a poor man's heart break
Your behavior can cause great pain and suffering to those less fortunate than you
Woman, you turn me on, but quick as a flash your love is gone
I am attracted to you, but your affection is fleeting and unreliable
Baby, I'm gonna leave you now
I have decided to end our relationship
But I'm gonna try to make you grieve somehow
I will attempt to cause you the same pain you caused me
Lord, got what it takes to make a poor man's heart break
You have the capability to cause great pain and suffering to those with less than you
