The lyrics to "Cold Water" by Out Out seem to be a combination of a few different themes that aren't necessarily connected in any literal sense. One interpretation could be the idea of conflict and struggle, both within oneself and with others. The repeating use of the name "Nisus" could represent a battle between two opposing forces, as Nisus is a character from Greek mythology who was involved in a struggle for power.
The different types of water mentioned in the lyrics could represent different stages or levels of this conflict. For example, "deep water" or "dark water" could symbolize a particularly intense or difficult moment, while "blue water" might be a calmer or more peaceful state. The mention of "vanity" and "wisdom" suggests a struggle for personal growth and understanding, while "dissension" and "shudder" hint at social conflict.
Ultimately, the meaning of these lyrics is open to interpretation and could vary depending on the listener's personal experiences and perspective. However, the use of evocative imagery and repetition helps to create a sense of urgency and emotion that is sure to resonate with many listeners.

Perfect. Short and to the point and very clear explanation. Are the parts easy to identify and get from the hardware store like Home Depot, Lowes, or Ace Hardware as well as the tool?
@MusicAndWood
Thanks! Yes, you should be able to pick up the tools required and parts from any of those stores.

Very helpful! Will start checking the faucets today. Much appreciated.
@SherryAdcox
Very good vid. I am having the problem of hot coming out of the cold now. Thank you. Now I know what to do.
@bobbik5490
Thank you for the video. I’m experiencing this situation in my home right now. Is there cartridges, say in a bathroom or kitchen faucet? I turned on the faucet in my stationery tub after not having used it in months and months, so I’m guessing that’s my problem area. Do I just buy a new faucet or is there a cartridge that I need to replace. I’m a female senior citizen so if you can talk to me like a 5th grader, that would be much appreciated. :)
@MusicAndWood
Hello, you are welcome and thanks for watching! I am not a professional plumber, I just wanted to share an experience and solution that worked for me. Any faucet that has one knob to mix the hot and cold water could be suspect. There are quite a few different faucets and cartridges for them so I can’t really help too much over what I shared in the video. I suggest calling a plumber to check out the situation and mention you think it may be related to a cartridge failure. Likely you would not need to replace the whole faucet, only the cartridge. The prices can vary on cartridges but should be in the range of $30-$80 and it should only take 15-30 min for a professional to complete the work. Good luck and I hope the issue is easily resolved!

GREAT Video.. Quick Question... I've experienced this and a couple days later we heard rushing water and 3 plumbers determined we had a leak somewhere and wanted to start cutting drywall and ripping up concrete.... $$$$$ WITHOUT doing any diagnostics to pinpoint a leak. MY QUESTION IS:
could this reverse back flow be causing water to somehow drain back into the system and somehow into the main Exit pipe?
I just find it unreal to accept that they coincidentally happened within 24 hours of each other.
I know you're not a licensed plumber but you seem like a smart guy
Taking a shot here...
Thanks!
Doc

Thanks for the watch and comment! Sorry to hear you are having plumbing issues! As far as I am aware the drain line is generally not connected directly to the water line. Rushing water in the walls does sound not good. Hope you can get it figured out!
@lindamarziotto2071
Thank you! Although, I have a different type of faucet handle that I don't know how to screw off. I think it's a Kohler. I am going to try to see how else I can take it off.

I am facing this issue- we are renovating the bathrooms, the constructors put new valve for the two bathrooms and the day after that we noticed kitchen cold tab is having warm/hot water. The constructors stated that he didn’t touch kitchen so it’s not his issue; but this only happened after he put on new valves for the new bathrooms, not they are still at demo stage, I don’t know how to find which valve is causing the issue
