Water On a Stove
Kisschasy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm dissolved in alcohol but she's in perfect care.
The queen of my worst dreams & I'm her biggest nightmare.
Now I'm counting black sheep to reacquaint my self with sleep & when the storm cloud comes your still light & you still shine yellow.
Watch days evaporate like water on a stove.
I'd find it easier to get blood out of a stone.
[chorus]
I can't get thoughts like this on a monday. I think ill sleep in anyway.
I can't get thoughts like this on a monday. I think ill sleep in anyway.
[chorus]
In Kisschasy's song "Water On a Stove", the lyrics describe a person who is struggling with alcoholism and is in a destructive relationship with someone who is their "queen of worst dreams". The singer's hair is a mess, and they feel dissolved in alcohol while the other person is clean and takes care of themselves. The reference to "yellow" is likely a symbol of hope and positivity, as they shine despite the storm clouds.
The imagery of the "water on a stove" represents the passing of time and how quickly days can evaporate without us realizing it. The line "I'd find it easier to get blood out of a stone" suggests that trying to change the situation feels impossible. Despite the struggles, the singer still holds affection for the other person and wants to express this through music. They hope to make this "bad scene" popular so that everyone knows how much they love the other person.
Overall the lyrics convey a sense of angst and despair, with the singer feeling trapped in a difficult situation. The song touches on themes of addiction, codependency, and the passage of time.
