Watershed
Giant Rooks Lyrics

Watershed in my head
I'm going through a mental breakthrough or a significant change in my thought process.

I'll light it all up
I will bring this transformation into light and use it to create something.

It's a small world
Life is fleeting, and insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

Stayed in bed and you said "Don't beat yourself up"
Someone offered me solace and tried to stop me from overthinking or being too hard on myself.

Built for you
These personal experiences, transformations, or breakthroughs are all meant to shape who I am as an individual.

I talked a lot, oh I thought a lot
I've been ruminating about my purpose and my place in this world at length.

About what we came here for
Wondering why we're here, what is our purpose or goal in life?

But I've never really tried, tried to stop the
Despite the constant questioning, I never attempted to bring my daydreams into reality.

The flight of the cannonballs
I'm hesitant to make a move, to break out of my ordinary life and achieve my goals.

Tired in the morning
Feeling worn-out, both physically and mentally, at the start of each day.

And tied to the screen
I'm attached to technology, devices, social media, always scrolling through the screen.

Applause the illusionist
We appreciate our distractions, which prevent us from seeing the reality or allow us to escape from it.

I feel it coming to me
I sense that the solution, the answers, or the inspiration is on its way.

Atlantis calls, Atlantis roars
This mythical city is the embodiment of an ideal, something we strive for but never attain.

Better not set your lungs on fire
Warns of the danger of being too passionate, too overly consumed by something, that it could be harmful in the end.

On the dance floor, we move and we talk
We socialize, share ideas, and move towards achieving our goals together.

Until we can't no more
We'll keep dancing, talking, and creating until we physically or mentally can't do anymore.

(Wanna freeze the time)
I would like to pause the moment, this high point of my life, before it passes away.

Why do I sigh? What do I deny?
Asks why I'm unhappy, what am I trying to pretend isn't happening or what am I denying in my life?

I'll build a wall a thousand feet high
I'm thinking of ways to protect myself, emotionally or physically, from the turmoil of life.

Around my bed to keep the bloom
Trying to prevent any positive or creative outcomes that might stem from reality existing, by creating a barrier between myself and life.

Out of my head, asking myself
I'm trying to escape my own self-doubt or negative thinking by avoiding thinking about it.

Where do we go after all?
Questioning the nature of life, existence and what happens to us after we die.

What do you hope for most of all?
Wondering what is the point, what motivates us to keep living if everything is insignificant.

After all
After considering everything there is to think and wonder about.

Whoa oh, after all
The phrase repeated, emphasizing a sense of conclusion of the reflection.

Whoa oh, most of all
Nothing stands out as the ultimate hope or goal in life after considering everything.
