Watershed
Gorod Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You did what you did
You′re a fucked up kid
And now you sit and reflect
On all of the shit

Behind my back a leader with no skills
Just the site of you is making me ill
And now you want to run&run&run&run&run

Watershed
Watershed you've made your bed
Watershed
Watershed you′ve made your bed

The drive-thru window's calling you back kid
You lied, schemed and that is the truth of it
And now you want to run&run&run&run&run

Watershed
Watershed you've made your bed
Watershed
Watershed you′ve made your bed

You′ve made your bed
Now you'll lie in it

Lie in it... pull
Lie in it... pull

Watershed
Watershed you′ve made your bed




Watershed
Watershed you've made your bed

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gorod's song "Watershed" reflect on the consequences of one's actions and the realization that their mistakes and wrongdoings have caught up to them. The opening lines, "You did what you did, You're a fucked up kid, And now you sit and reflect, On all of the shit" highlight the singer's introspection and self-reflection on their past deeds. The sense of regret and remorse is palpable in the lines as they are coming to terms with the ramifications of their actions.


The second verse of the lyrics portrays a sense of anger and frustration towards a person who has taken a leadership position without possessing the required skills. The singer has witnessed this person's incompetence and is disgusted by their presence, causing them to feel sick. The following lines, "And now you want to run & run & run & run & run," can be interpreted as the singer's desire to escape from the toxicity of the situation.


The chorus of "Watershed" is the song's titular word, repeatedly used to emphasize the gravity of the situation. The lines "Watershed, Watershed you've made your bed" reflect on the idea that one's actions have consequences and that the singer must now face the repercussions of their decisions. The final lines, "You've made your bed/Now you'll lie in it," signify the acceptance of responsibility and the resignation to accept the punishment for one's actions.
