Water
Gabriel and Cecilia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It found it's way in me
A flame so bright
A feeling so unheard
As reality came down
And shattered all our dreams
You begin to wonder
What is truly here worth
Aah
Never had any patience
Never had any luck
My tears are never-ending
But my fuel is always out
Green's the only future
As dreams are of the past
My only question's why
As the answer's always no, no, no
Aah
Aah
You cant drown yourself in the shallow water
You cant leave it all behind
The song "Water" by Gabriel and Cecilia starts with the lyrics "It all started with a spark, It found its way in me". The spark is referring to the start of a flame, a feeling that is so bright and intense that it can't be ignored. As reality sets in and shatters dreams, the lyrics ask "What is truly here worth?". The song touches on the idea of never having any patience or luck, with tears that are never-ending and a fuel that is always out. The only way to move forward is to focus on the future, a future that is green and focused on new dreams that don't dwell in the past. The song ends with the line "You can't drown yourself in the shallow water, you can't leave it all behind", emphasizing the need to face reality and move forward rather than trying to escape from it.

Its not the song choice that got them booted out. Its because they are alternative and alot of people wont get it. They dont just sing. They create art with their music. I got it, and I thought this performance was both freakin amazing and unique and I believe they will go far on their own. I actually think they were already too talented for the show. Will could see it and that's why he asked them to collaborate with him. But obviously there were alot of people who didn't like them or their style and they are the people who chose their pop singer to remain in the competition.

Totally agree!!! I'm glad that someone understands how I feel!

AGREED- Gabriel needs to watch his KERMIT THE FROG stylisation of his voice- it really came out last week and "ENT-TI TAIN US" in this song- his mispronunciation can be grating.

If you want to enter a game show like the voice, dont expect to win with artistry or talent. Its only about delivering the best/ most entertaining performance, so in the end you have to appeal to the majority. And the majority like pop songs so really you shouldnt try anything else if you are serious about winning

Hearing Gabriel sing low notes freaked me out hahaha but he still sounded excellent. They were my favourite, I'm pretty upset I won't be able to hear another one of their performances.
Lauren Sargeant
Amazing! Most interesting performance of the whole show so far. They really made the song their own and took it so far!

I've loved every one of their performances but this was my favourite. So haunting and expressive, it gave me shivers. Also huge props to whoever was behind stage direction because props, costumes, everything is just SO COOL

I absolutely love Gabriel and Cecilia and what they're all about

What a way to interpret this Nirvana song! Amazing. G&C are out of the competition--really? We in the rest of the world only learn this after the fact, as we cannot watch it live. How sad. But like the rest, we have iTunes and possible world tours to look forward to. Way to go, Will. You have done amazing coaching with them. However, it would be good to hear judges comments.
