WATER
Cartoon Planet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What happened to the water, the water so wet
It mixed up with the dirt, the dirt, the dirt
The water got into the dirt and turned into mud
The mud got on my shoe, my shoe, my shoe
The mud got on my shoe then I came inside
My mud got on the carpet and my mom got mad
She sent me for some water to clean up the carpet
I turned on the faucet and nothing came out
What happened to the water, the water, the water
What happened to the water, the water
That cleaned the carpet and washed the dog
And washed the dog, wash your dog
The song “Water” by Cartoon Planet talks about the importance of water in our daily lives and how it can be easily contaminated by mud or dirt. The song highlights the experiences of the singer who accidentally soils the carpet with mud and tries to clean it up with water. However, the faucet does not deliver any water, leaving the singer to wonder what happened to the water.
The initial lines of the song “What happened to the water, the water, the water, what happened to the water, the water so wet” suggest the singer’s confusion about the absence of water in the faucet. The next line “It mixed up with the dirt, the dirt, the dirt, the water got into the dirt and turned into mud” presents an explanation for why the water is unavailable. The succeeding line “The mud got on my shoe, my shoe, my shoe, the mud got on my shoe then I came inside” further expounds on this, showing how the dirt contaminated the singer's shoe and how it ultimately disrupted the flow of water.
The following few lines of the song detail the consequences of the mud-contaminated water. The mud soiled the carpet, enraging the singer’s mom who then instructed them to clean it up. However, the singer could not find any water to clean the carpet. This situation highlights the urgency of water management and conservation while also underlining the importance of clean water in our daily lives.
