water
Blind Zero Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you recall my name in the streets where I lived
You inherited all the sins
The flames
All my gains were based on scrawls
All my learnings made me what to see
And you'd do it all again
You just fight against yourself, fight against yourself
And i don't care a lot
Really don't care a lot
Time went fast, no point on wasting time
All my swears were wasted along the shore
Overburden, overflowing I went
'Cause you'd do it all again
I say fight against yourself
Wash your sins in the water
'Till the daylight began
Stop blaming someone else
All the damage is done
Found love, tryin'to keep it
Such a hard time,
Hard job for one man to believe in, you just spoiled it on
Waiting, waylaying on waiting again
I bug you, I don't mean to bug you
All I meant was the glimpse of your eyes
I disturb you, I don't mean to disturb you
I hear a sound, it goes like this
The whole atmosfhere lingers
The blue chords couldn't get more dark
The end of the line was once called relief
You fought against yourself, you fought against yourself
Wash your sins in the water
'Till the daylight began




Stop blaming someone else
All the damage is done

Overall Meaning

The song "Water" by the band Blind Zero is a reflective piece about the consequences of our actions and our tendency to fight against ourselves. The lyrics start with a question - "Do you recall my name in the streets where I lived?" - which suggests a longing for connection and recognition. However, the following line shifts the focus to the idea of inheritance, specifically the sins that we take on from those who came before us. The imagery of flames and gains based on scrawls suggests a certain recklessness and disregard for consequences.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the need for personal responsibility and inner conflict resolution, urging us to "fight against yourself, wash your sins in the water". The repetition of "you'd do it all again" suggests a cycle of self-destruction and self-blame, which is only broken by taking ownership of our actions and forgiving ourselves.


The second half of the song introduces a theme of lost love and regret. The lines "Found love, tryin'to keep it / Such a hard time, hard job for one man to believe in, you just spoiled it on" suggest a sense of failure and disappointment. The final lines, "The end of the line was once called relief / You fought against yourself, you fought against yourself", tie the themes of personal responsibility and regret together, suggesting that the only way to find relief and move forward is to face our inner demons and make peace with our past mistakes.
