Wet
St. Marys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Resolve in anger
Find myself staring at you
But you're a stranger
False heroes
Love becoming evil
Close your eyes and patiently wait
We're waiting for a
It's just a waste of your time
I found the devil he talks
Inside my head all the time
Can't focus but I'm
Waiting for this movie to start
I think about you all the time
It's fucking breaking my heart
Look at the world today
Since you went away
Since you went away
Since you went away
Since you went away
Look at the world we made
Since you went away
Since you went away
Since you went away
Since you went away
Give the kids some guns and some
Money for their lunch
Everyday it starts the same
But we've got to find a better way out
Please set the table
Discuss all of the labels
Is there anybody out there
Hear us screaming
Watch us killing ourselves
Hate politicians
The endless repetition
Lobbyists that take control of the
Future of the globe
But anyway
Fuck the governments
Watch celebrities attempt to
Save us with their Instagram posts
But I'm sure we'll figure it out
Look at the world today
Since you went away
Since you went away
Since you went away
Since you went away
Look at the world we made
Since you went away
Since you went away
Since you went away
Since you went away
Look at the world today
Since you went away
Since you went away
Since you went away
Since you went away
Look at the world we made
Since you went away
Since you went away
Since you went away
Since you went away
The lyrics to "Wet" by St. Marys touch on themes of bitter conversations, unresolved anger, and the feeling of being estranged from someone who was once close. The opening lines set the tone of the song, highlighting the paradoxical nature of human interaction where peace can lead to bitter conversations, and anger may find resolution. The singer finds themselves looking at someone, perhaps a former lover, but now they feel like a stranger.
The lyrics also delve into the idea of false heroes and love turning into something evil. This could be a reflection on the disappointment that comes when someone we once admired or loved reveals their true nature. The plea to close one's eyes and patiently wait could suggest a desire for answers or understanding in a world filled with confusion and uncertainty.
The chorus suggests that since this person went away, the world has changed. There is an acknowledgment of the impact this individual had on the singer's life, and the subsequent shift that has occurred since their departure. The repetition of this line emphasizes the void they have left behind and the lasting impact they had on the world they once shared.
The second verse takes a more social and political turn. It criticizes the state of the world, with references to giving guns to children and politicians who seem disconnected from the concerns of ordinary people. The frustration with the repetitiveness and lack of progress is expressed, as the lobbyists and governments seem to control the future of the globe. The mention of celebrities trying to save the world through their social media posts adds a layer of cynicism, suggesting that real change requires more than lip service.
Overall, "Wet" by St. Marys seems to capture feelings of disillusionment, loss, and frustration with both personal relationships and the state of the world. The lyrics invite listeners to reflect on the complexities of human interactions and the need for a better, more empathetic approach to navigating the challenges we face.
