Water
T. E. Morris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down the rabbit hole
Yeah, I know it's tough
For you
For us
So we head down
Down to the rabbit hole
Oh, you know it's tough
For us
Trust
A tiny little heart
And pull me into the river
Or somewhere I belong
And all that I'm asking is
Something to regret
And all that you're asking
Lies in this water well
Blame our mistakes
By the castle's gates
Where we've fallen from grace
I know you know it's true
And wake me up
For you're a grizzly bear
And you can never never tell
What's right and wrong with you
Trust
My own two-sided mind
Things got hard to find
Somewhere inside your mind
'Cause all that I'm asking is
Something to regret
And all that you're asking
Lies in this water well
'Cause all that I'm asking is
Something to regret
And all that you're asking
Lies in this water well
November sets the middle
Of our beautifully broken minds
But then we found december
Was running out of time
And I've never ever thought of me
Like neither in a million years
As a man with a heart down to the ground
And a head still up up in the clouds
But it's true
And all I ever wanted
Lies in this water well
We found that november
Is just a water well
You know that november
Is still a water well
Just think about november
As a water well
The lyrics of T. E. Morris's song Water seem to reflect on the artist's personal journey towards self-discovery and independence. The first verse begins with the line "I'm drinking Forty water," which could refer to the rapper consuming 40-ounce bottles of malt liquor or alcohol as a form of escapism. The following line "Bands in my pockets" could imply that the rapper has made some money through his music or other means and is carrying it around with him.
The next line, "I'm just a rebel baby, don't know what the cause is," suggests that the artist is trying to rebel against something, but is unsure of what that is. He talks about "floating for days now, going through this process," indicating a sense of uncertainty and confusion in his life. The last line of the verse "best I cut my losses" suggests that he has realized that sometimes it's best to let go of past relationships or situations that are no longer serving him.
In the second verse, the artist blends a mix of references, mentioning the color black, knocking things down, and writing stories. The line "all black, all black, all black, she got all black on" could indicate that the person he is with is also wearing all black, which could symbolize a feeling of darkness or a sense of rebellion. The mentioning of cigarettes and coffee as breakfast in East Hollywood could be referencing an LA lifestyle, and the line "your greatest fear in life, is that you're basic" could be referring to the idea that people want to be unique or stand out in some way.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm drinking Forty water
I am consuming a popular alcoholic beverage known as 40 water
Bands in my pockets
I have a substantial amount of money on my person
I'm just a rebel baby
I am a nonconformist individual
Don't know what the cause is
I am unsure of the reason for my rebellious nature
I been floating for days now
I feel like I have been aimlessly drifting through life for a prolonged period of time
Going through this process
I am undergoing a personal transformation
Stay with the ones that stayed down
I prefer to surround myself with loyal, dependable individuals
Best I cut my losses
It would be in my best interest to abandon a certain situation or person to avoid further damage
All black, all black, all black, I got all black on
I am dressed entirely in black clothing
Blocka, blocka, knock it down all night until the morning come
I am partying and having a good time without stopping until the next morning
Baby, I'm a writer, I got stories in my living room
I am a creative individual with many stories to tell
This ain't overnight, I been like this since the delivery room
My personality and talent have been evident since I was born and did not develop overnight
You know the love you looking for is tainted
The type of love you desire is flawed or impure
Every day is brand new like the bay bridge
Each day brings fresh opportunities and experiences
I swore that there was nothing that could break us
I used to believe that our relationship was unbreakable
But look at what you do to just get famous
You will do whatever it takes to gain notoriety, even if it harms others
Yeah, all black, all black, all black, she got all black on
The woman I am with is also dressed completely in black
Woke up feeling freaky, called me to her condominium
The woman initiated sexual activity with me at her residence
Stepped out on the balcony, she told me she was cooking good
We went outside onto the balcony, and she mentioned that she was living well
Cigarettes and coffee, yeah, that's breakfast in East Hollywood
Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee is a common breakfast in the area where we are located
Your greatest fear in life, is that you're basic
Your greatest fear is that you are ordinary or unremarkable
You say I don't go out, but girl you stay lit
You accuse me of not socializing, but you are always partying
You say that you're just so damn spiritual
You claim to prioritize spirituality and inner peace
Saying, Father can you hear me now?
You are questioning whether or not a higher power is listening to your prayers
