WATER
JackGarratt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Water wash over me, cool me down
Cool me down
Water, water leave
Water leave through the valleys you wore down
Wear me down
Drown me in the water
Lose me in the dark
Drag me to the deep
Let your water wash over me
Water, water rise
Water rise up and roll through the islands
Roll down the streets
It's short-lived, boys, short-lived, boys
Find a woman and dance through the moonshine
Leave me the rain
Drown me in the water
Drown me in the sea
Lose me in the dark
Drag me to the deep
Let your water wash over me
Drown me in the water
Drown me in the sea
Lose me in the dark
Drag me to the deep
Let your water wash over me
Wash
Wash
Wash
Wash
Drown me in your water
Drown me in the water
Drown me in the sea
Drown me in the water
Drown me in the sea
Drown me in the water
Drown me in the sea
The lyrics of "Water" by Jack Garratt capture the feeling of being immersed in water and letting it wash over and cleanse the body and mind. The repetition of "water, water" creates a meditative quality, almost like a mantra, that emphasizes the importance of the element in our lives. The phrase "water leave through the valleys you wore down" further emphasizes the cleansing power of water as it carves out and erodes land over time.
The second verse shifts to a more figurative interpretation of water, with the lines "short-lived, boys, short-lived, boys" suggesting the transience of life and the fleeting nature of experiences. The image of dancing through moonshine with a woman adds to the sense of impermanence and the importance of living in the moment. The final lines of the verse, "leave me the rain," seem to suggest a desire to be left alone to experience the cleansing power of rain, perhaps as a metaphor for personal growth and renewal.
Overall, the lyrics of "Water" convey the idea of surrendering oneself to the power of water, whether through physical immersion or simply allowing it to wash over us and refresh our spirits.
