Earth Meets Water
Rigby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold me tonight
What happend to me
My head in the clouds
Fallen so deep
You came in soft
No shoes on my feet
Cold and afraid
It feels like I could break down
Right here on this shore
I'll go a straight

Here I stand,
Where earth meets water
The wind blows smoke,
across the land
So hear me out,
our lives get harder
It slips through our fingers,
like this fist full of sand
like a fist full of sand

Lay down tonight
The stars as our spine
Summer will fade
And it feels like I will lose you,
with each of the turning tides
Till the first snow arrives

So here I stand,
Where earth meets water
The wind blows smoke,
across the land
So hear me out,
our lifes get harder
It slips through our fingers,
like this fist full of sand

Here I stand,
Where earth meets water
It slips through our fingers,
like a fist full of sand





It slips through our fingers...

Overall Meaning

The song "Earth Meets Water" by Rigby seems to be a personal reflection of a difficult and uncertain time in someone's life, perhaps in a relationship. The opening lines describe a feeling of being lost and vulnerable, indicating that perhaps the singer has gone through some kind of personal crisis. The lyrics suggest that the singer is in a state of emotional turmoil and feels that they could break down at any moment. The sense of insecurity is emphasized by the metaphor of being "on this shore", suggesting that the singer feels stranded and unsure of what direction to take next.


The second verse suggests that the time of uncertainty is linked to some kind of change in the relationship between the singer and someone else. The stars serve as a metaphor for their bond, and the "turning tides" suggest a shifting in the relationship. The singer feels that they are losing the other person as the seasons change, and they are powerless to prevent it. The song's title, "Earth Meets Water," seems to emphasize the idea of change, as well as the uncertainty and vulnerability that comes with it.


Overall, this song is a reflective and somewhat melancholy look at the experience of change and loss in relationships. The lyrics are emotional and introspective, conveying a sense of longing and uncertainty. The use of metaphors such as the stars and the shore add to the song's emotional impact, making it a powerful expression of the pains and joys of love and life.

Hold me tonight
What happend to me
My head in the clouds
Fallen so deep
You came in soft
No shoes on my feet
Cold and afraid
It feels like I could break down
Right here on this shore
I'll go astray

Where earth meets water
The wind blows smoke
Across the land
So hear me out
Our lives get harder
It slips through our fingers
Like a fist full of sand
Like a fist full of sand

Lay down tonight
The stars as our spine
Summer will fade
And it feels like I will lose you
With each of the turning tide
Till the first snow arrive

So here I stand
Where earth meets water
The wind blows smoke
Across the land
So hear me out
Our lives get harder
It slips through our fingers
Like a fist full of sand
Like a fist full of sand

So hear me out
Our lives get harder
It slips through our fingers
Like a fist full of sand

One of the most unique feature of this song is that it's a combo of Progressive House and Progressive Trance, its super melodic, emotion filled, euphoric and energetic.
Just the banger every melodic EDM fans want 😍😍😍😍!!
