water
Mills. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Glistens through the wine
While whispered words keep stirring up temptation
Those treasured plans
That lingered in my mind
Are fading in the search for new sensations
Closing on me
In a hazy cloud of fantasy
Oh, please
Lay me down
By still water
And let me rest
This tired and weary soul
And in the light of better understanding
Maybe I'll live again (Live again)
Maybe I'll love again (Love again)
Oh, lay me down
By still water
Still water
Like a dream
Washed out in the rain
Drifting through a sea of shattered feelings
My life is cold
A fire without a flame
My promise just a word without a meaning
I'm like an autumn leaf
Falling free
My self control is failing me
Oh, please
Lay me down
By still water
And let me rest
This tired and weary soul
And in the light of better understanding
Maybe I'll live again (Live again)
Maybe I'll love again (Love again)
Oh, lay me down
By still water
Still water
(Lay me down)
(By still water)
(And let me rest)
(This tired and weary soul)
And in the light of better understanding
Maybe I'll live again (Live again)
Maybe I'll love again (Love again)
Oh, lay me down
By still water (Lay me down)
Still water (Lay me down)
The opening line of the song, "a crimson rose glistens through the wine while whispered words keep stirring up temptation," suggests that the singer is experiencing the effects of alcohol and romance, feeling tempted by something or someone. The following lines refer to lost ideals and fading plans as the singer searches for new sensations. The chorus, "lay me down by still water, and let me rest this tired and weary soul," indicates a desire for a break from the chaos of life and a chance to find clarity and renewed energy. The line "in the light of better understanding, maybe I'll live again, maybe I'll love again" speaks to the hope for rejuvenation.
The second verse continues the theme of loss and disillusionment, describing the singer's life as "cold" and "a fire without a flame." They feel like an "autumn leaf falling free," lacking self-control and direction. The plea in the chorus remains the same, hoping to be laid down by still water for rest and understanding.
Overall, the song speaks to a common human experience of feeling lost and overwhelmed, searching for meaning and hope. The imagery of water as a symbol of peace and clarity is a frequent one, and the use of it here supports the theme of renewal and transformation.

[Verse 1: Mills.]
I wanna go back to sleep, see how this thing plays out, love
I was gonna buy some weed, blow out some steam, blaze up, blow down, girl
And she said that she want me not for the money, not for materialistic things
Fine little blonde ting, wanna call her honey, seems like a unrealistic dream
[Chorus: Mills., Felly]
Said she liked the way that I groove, it makes you wanna move
Damn girl those hips don't lie and I'm telling the truth
Anytime that I'm with you I'm in the best mood
And my friends approve, 'cause they think that you cool
Damn my eyes are stuck on your body like glue
Don't know what to do any longer
I need you like I need water, like water, like water
I need you like I need water, like water, like water
I need you like I need water, like water, (like I like) like water (like, like)
I need you like I need water, like water, (like I like) like water
I need you like I need water
[Verse 2: Felly]
I used to want her like a movie star, hollyweird
Moody girl, fine as hell, clientele
That's until I found a finer one, like [?]
Bon Iver, lift me up when I'm down, that's my water
But the truth of it all is you don't remember me at all, until I call, yeah
You drug me, my color the aqua marina
In to deep, my lover, need more days of summer
Don't you worry when I stay out late, on my game
Think I'm moving on to finer things, no mistake
You my baby since back in the day, feed me grapes
Make you CD's once I find a blank, finer things
Hit you up I hope you wide awake, yeah
Take off and the rain won't stop, on the 405 in a big white car
I don't talk down just to say I'm up
Ay, ay, ay, whoa, whoa
Ay, ay
[Chorus: Mills., Felly]
Said she liked the way that I groove, it makes you wanna move
Damn girl those hips don't lie and I'm telling the truth
Anytime that I'm with you I'm in the best mood
And my friends approve, 'cause they think that you cool (oh yeah)
Damn my eyes are stuck on your body like glue
Don't know what to do any longer
I need you like I need water, (like, like) like water (like, like) like water (like, like)
I need you like I need water, (water) like water, like water
I need you like I need water, (yeah yeah) like water, (yeah yeah) like water (yeah yeah)
I need you like I need water, like water, like water (oooh)
I need you like I need water
[Outro: Mills., Felly]
Yeah
I need you like I need water, yeah
Oooh, yeah, like like (like a light)
Like a light, like a light, like a light
Like a light, like a light, like a light
I wanna go back to sleep, see how this thing plays out, love
