Water In The Well
Shame Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the hills
Well I hear it lingers
And I've seen it kill
There is water
In the well
I see it flowing on
For you
For you
I tried to call you late last night
I heard you shiver I gave you a fright
Hey
Caught in my ways
This is the last time Acid Dad
Look and I see it
The new enemy
I make heat
I take it, I take it
This
Stiff in the wind
They're just a preacher
Ugh, they're just a savior
Look and you'll see it
'Cause I never could
This is the last time Acid Dad
I said I'd get it on
I said I'd get it on
I said I'd get it on
I'd get it on, I'd get it on
For you
Not you
You took my life before
You'll take my life again
I'm not your lover dear
You're just my sp-sp-sp-special friend
Please ditch your telephone
Closed curtains no one's home
Detach your internet
The hills see none of that
And which way is heaven sir?
We all got lost somehow
I tried to find myself but I lost the map and now I'm all burnt out
Crux upon crux
Lux upon lux
Crux upon crux
Lux upon lux
Crux upon crux (this, this is the last time)
Lux upon lux
Crux upon crux (this, this is the last time)
Lux upon lux
Hey
Caught in my ways
This is the last time Acid Dad
Look and I see it
The new enemy
I make heat
I take it, I take it
This
Stiff in the wind
They're just a preacher
Uh, they're just a savior
Look and you'll see it
'Cause I never could
This is the last time Acid Dad
The lyrics of Shame's song "Water In The Well" seem to convey a sense of urgency and desperation, accompanied by a touch of nihilism. The opening lines suggest that there is something ominous and dangerous lurking in the hills, which has the power to cause harm and even death. The mention of water in the well symbolizes a flow of emotions or experiences that continues relentlessly, without regard for individual pain or suffering. It's as if the singer is acknowledging the unstoppable force of life and its ability to affect and consume us.
The chorus reveals a failed attempt to reach out to someone, who is portrayed as cold and distant. The line "I heard you shiver I gave you a fright" implies a lack of connection and understanding between the singer and the person they tried to contact. The repetition of "For you, not you" highlights the disappointment and frustration in this failed interaction.
The lyrics touch on themes of isolation and detachment from modern technologies with lines like "Please ditch your telephone, closed curtains no one's home, detach your internet, the hills see none of that." It seems as though the singer is suggesting that disconnecting from the distractions of the digital world can allow for a deeper connection with oneself and the natural world. The reference to losing the map and feeling burnt out suggests a loss of direction and purpose, perhaps indicating a search for meaning and a desire to escape the confines of a world filled with false promises.
Overall, "Water In The Well" appears to explore feelings of discontent, disconnection, and the struggle to find meaning in a world that often feels overwhelming and indifferent.
Line by Line Meaning
There is something
There is an eerie presence
In the hills
In the secluded and mysterious mountains
Well I hear it lingers
It lingers in a haunting manner
And I've seen it kill
And I have witnessed its destructive power
There is water
There is a hidden source
In the well
In the deep, dark well
I see it flowing on
I observe it continuously moving
It's flowing on, it's flowing on
It continues to flow relentlessly
For you
For your sake
For you
For your sake
I tried to call you late last night
I attempted to contact you in the late hours of the night
I heard you shiver I gave you a fright
I perceived your trembling and frightened you
Hey
Listen
Caught in my ways
Trapped in my habits
This is the last time Acid Dad
This is the final occasion, my friend
Look and I see it
If you look closely, you will witness it
The new enemy
The unfamiliar adversary
I make heat
I generate intensity
I take it, I take it
I accept the consequences
This
This situation
Stiff in the wind
Persisting stubbornly despite challenges
They're just a preacher
They are merely a preacher
Ugh, they're just a savior
Ugh, they are only a false savior
Look and you'll see it
Observe closely and you will perceive it
'Cause I never could
Because I could never do so
This is the last time Acid Dad
This is the final occasion, my friend
I said I'd get it on
I promised to succeed
I'd get it on, I'd get it on
I would achieve it, I would achieve it
For you
For your sake
Not you
Excluding you
You took my life before
You have previously caused me immense harm
You'll take my life again
You will once again destroy me
I'm not your lover dear
I am not your beloved, my dear
You're just my sp-sp-sp-special friend
You are merely a friend with an emphasis on 'special'
Please ditch your telephone
Please abandon your telephone
Closed curtains no one's home
Drawn curtains, indicating no one is present
Detach your internet
Disconnect from the internet
The hills see none of that
The mountains are oblivious to such technology
And which way is heaven sir?
And which direction leads to paradise, sir?
We all got lost somehow
We all became lost in some way
I tried to find myself but I lost the map and now I'm all burnt out
I attempted to discover my true identity, but I misplaced the guide and now I am completely exhausted
Crux upon crux
Challenge after challenge
Lux upon lux
Luxury upon luxury
Crux upon crux
Challenge after challenge
Lux upon lux
Luxury upon luxury
Crux upon crux (this, this is the last time)
Challenge after challenge (this, this is the final occasion)
Lux upon lux
Luxury upon luxury
Crux upon crux (this, this is the last time)
Challenge after challenge (this, this is the final occasion)
Lux upon lux
Luxury upon luxury
Hey
Listen
Caught in my ways
Trapped in my habits
This is the last time Acid Dad
This is the final occasion, my friend
Look and I see it
If you look closely, you will witness it
The new enemy
The unfamiliar adversary
I make heat
I generate intensity
I take it, I take it
I accept the consequences
This
This situation
Stiff in the wind
Persisting stubbornly despite challenges
They're just a preacher
They are merely a preacher
Uh, they're just a savior
Uh, they are only a false savior
Look and you'll see it
Observe closely and you will perceive it
'Cause I never could
Because I could never do so
This is the last time Acid Dad
This is the final occasion, my friend

One part Fugazi, one part Blur, one part Talking Heads, and a sprinkle of Television. This band has been good over three albums now, but I always come back to this song and wonder just how high their potential might be. This is such an absolute winner. Each time I revisit it, I have to listen to it 4 or 5 times because it is so utterly infectious.
