water
R.A.Y.N.A. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were growin' older
In the warm water and the winter winds
We sat ourselves by the fire
We were drinkin' whisky, tellin' old stories
That was in a time before all this
We didn't know we were lost
And we didn't know somewhere
Somewhere up ahead, there was danger
In the moment, didn't notice, yeah
We were growin' older
In the warm water and the winter winds
We sat ourselves by the fire
We were young and lonely, but we had each other
That was in a time before all this, mmh
whoa, we didn't know we were lost
We would have to find all of the answers
oh, we didn't know that somewhere
Somewhere up ahead, there was danger
Even in the middle of, in the middle of this
Even in the middle of, in the middle of all this, oh
We will remember that the night is not our enemy, oh
In the middle of, in the middle of all this
In the moment, didn't notice, yeah
We were growin' older
In the warm water and the winter winds
The lyrics to R.A.Y.N.A.'s song "Water" appear to be about a challenging relationship between two people. The singer and the person they are addressing are headed "down the rabbit hole" - a phrase that typically means entering into an unpredictable, difficult situation. The singer acknowledges that this is "tough" for both parties, and urges the other person to "trust" them.
The following lines suggest that there is some sort of conflict or mistake that they are trying to move past: "Blame our mistakes / by the castle's gates / where we've fallen from grace". Despite the difficulties, the singer is hoping for "something to regret" - perhaps a way for them to apologize or make amends for what has gone wrong.
The final verse of the song introduces the idea of November and December, suggesting that these two months represent a period of turmoil or trouble. However, the singer concludes by saying that everything they wanted "lies in this water well" - suggesting that there is some sort of resolution or clarity to be found therein.
Overall, the lyrics to "Water" suggest a complex, difficult relationship that is perhaps on the verge of breaking down. The urgent tone of the song, coupled with the repeated references to the "water well", creates a sense of desperation and a need for resolution.

So we head down
We embark on a journey
Down the rabbit hole
Into the unknown, perhaps danger
Yeah, I know it's tough
Acknowledging the challenges ahead
For you
Addressing a specific person
For us
Acknowledging that this journey affects both parties
Oh, you know it's tough
Acknowledging the challenges ahead
For me
Personalizing the experience
For us
Acknowledging that this journey affects both parties
Trust
An appeal for reliance on one another
A tiny little heart
A small amount of faith
And pull me into the river
Allowing oneself to be immersed in the journey
Or somewhere I belong
Seeking a sense of purpose or direction
And all that I'm asking is
Expressing a simple request
Something to regret
Yearning for a meaningful experience
And all that you're asking
Acknowledging that the other person has their own desires
Lies in this water well
The potential for fulfilling those desires can be found in this journey
Blame our mistakes
Holding oneself accountable for errors
By the castle's gates
In the midst of societal pressures
Where we've fallen from grace
Acknowledging a loss of status or prestige
I know you know it's true
A mutual understanding of reality
And wake me up
A desire for consciousness or clarity
For you're a grizzly bear
Recognizing the other person's strength and power
And you can never never tell
Uncertainty in the other person's actions or motives
What's right and wrong with you
The elusive nature of morality
My own two-sided mind
Acknowledging a complexity of thought
Things got hard to find
Uncertainty or confusion
Somewhere inside your mind
Referencing the other person's psyche
'Cause all that I'm asking is
Reiterating a simple request
Something to regret
Yearning for a meaningful experience
And all that you're asking
Acknowledging that the other person has their own desires
Lies in this water well
The potential for fulfilling those desires can be found in this journey
'Cause all that I'm asking is
Reiterating a simple request
Something to regret
Yearning for a meaningful experience
And all that you're asking
Acknowledging that the other person has their own desires
Lies in this water well
The potential for fulfilling those desires can be found in this journey
November sets the middle
Referencing a specific time period
Of our beautifully broken minds
Referring to human psychology
But then we found december
Referencing a specific time period
Was running out of time
Acknowledging a deadline or time constraint
And I've never ever thought of me
Surprised revelation about oneself
Like neither in a million years
Emphasizing the unexpected nature of the revelation
As a man with a heart down to the ground
A deep sense of compassion or empathy
And a head still up up in the clouds
A sense of aspiration or idealism
But it's true
Affirming the authenticity and sincerity of self-realization
And all I ever wanted
Expressing a simple desire
Lies in this water well
The potential for fulfilling those desires can be found in this journey
We found that november
Reflecting on a shared realization
Is just a water well
The temporary nature of time and its perceived significance
You know that november
Addressing the other person directly
Is still a water well
The temporary nature of time and its perceived significance
Just think about november
Encouraging reflection on the passage of time
As a water well
The fleeting nature of time and its significance
