Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through your door and mine
I know
It's too late to say I would have liked to know you
I know
So I stare at the walls of my green green kitchen
I stare at the doors of my empty mind
Through your door and mine
I know
It's too early to say I would have liked to love you
I know
So I stare at the walls of my green green kitchen
I stare at the doors of my empty mind
Don't you like the way we made love that day
Don't you like the way it was drugs that made me stay
Don't you like the way it was drugs that made me stay
Water ran
Through your door and mine
I know
It's too late to say I would have liked to know you
I know
So I stare at the walls of my green green kitchen
I stare at the doors of my empty mind
Don't you like the way we made love that day
Don't you like the way it was drugs that made me stay
Don't you like the way it was drugs that made me stay
Don't you like the way it was drugs that made me stay
Don't you like the way it was drugs that made me stay
The song Water Ran by Lilly Wood & The Prick is a melancholy reflection on lost opportunities in a romantic relationship. The lyrics describe water running through multiple doors, representing missed chances for connection between the singer and their partner. The singer acknowledges that it is too late to know their partner and too early to love them, leaving them stuck in a state of emptiness and unresolved feelings. The repetition of staring at the walls and doors emphasizes the feeling of being stuck and unable to move forward.
The chorus shifts to a reminiscence of a past sexual encounter, with a hint that drugs were involved. The line "Don't you like the way it was drugs that made me stay" suggests that the relationship was built on a foundation of unhealthy habits, and the singer may have been using drugs as a coping mechanism to distract themselves from their emotional struggles. The lyrics overall convey a sense of regret and resignation, as the singer acknowledges their past mistakes but feels powerless to change them.
Overall, Water Ran is a poignant reflection on missed opportunities and the consequences of unhealthy coping mechanisms.
