Lake
THE RiCECOOKERS Lyrics

Diving head first
Taking a bold and committed approach to solving a problem or overcoming an obstacle.

Dried up lake, fist hits first
Encountering a difficult situation that has been ignored or neglected for too long, causing frustration and tension.

And it bursts
The situation reaches a breaking point and cannot be contained any longer.

I pick up the pieces
Taking responsibility for repairing the damage caused by the burst situation.

I plant them so it eases
Putting in the effort to restore the situation to a better state and alleviate the pain caused by it.

The pain ceases.
Eventually, the pain caused by the difficult situation subsides and things get better.

Rain gives life yes
Acknowledging the life-giving power of nature and the importance of being replenished.

Life will strive I know but more
Recognizing the inherent drive of life to survive, but also feeling the need for more than mere survival.

I need more
Expressing a desire for something beyond basic existence, something to truly live for.

I've dried up my last well
Having depleted all personal resources and feeling empty, with nowhere else to turn.

I must be going insane
Feeling overwhelmed and desperate, bordering on a loss of sanity.

Oh well cuz I have
Despite the despair, still finding comfort and hope in something or someone.

You more or less like me
Acknowledging the similarities between the singer and the subject, but also their unique differences.

With you I feel more than less like me
Feeling a sense of completeness or wholeness when with the subject, as if they bring out the best in each other.

Conversation sparks now
The interaction with the subject becomes dynamic and engaging.

Light flares up and it marks
The interaction becomes more intense and significant.

The first day starts
The beginning of a new, potentially transformative experience.

The more I know you
Continuing to learn about the subject and deepen the connection.

The more I know the "me"
Through getting to know the subject, also learning more about oneself and growing in self-awareness.

In you, in me
Recognizing the connection and shared humanity between the artist and subject.

I'd give up my last words
Willing to sacrifice everything for the subject, even one's own voice or expression.

I'll give them all to you
Fully committing to the subject and wanting to express that devotion through words.

Because all I have is you
Feeling like the subject is the only thing that truly matters to the singer.

Another lakes gone now
Another difficult situation has arisen or been resolved, causing further change and growth.

But I don't care no I don't care
Despite the challenges, feeling happy and content with the current state of affairs because of the relationship with the subject.

Well I have never ever thought that
Expressing surprise that the current situation has come to pass, and reflecting on the unexpected turns of life.

I'd be back on this rock again
Feeling like life sometimes circles back to the same hardships or struggles, even after overcoming them before.

But maybe if I jump head first
Contemplating taking another daring leap and hoping it will bring a positive change.

It will all go away
Believing that any problems or challenges can be overcome by taking action and having faith.

Bright lights blind my eyes
Feeling momentarily overwhelmed or disoriented by a new experience or revelation.

It sorta feel kind on my
Despite the disorientation, feeling a sense of euphoria and excitement from the experience.

Waking thought and I open my eyes to find
Reflecting on the subconscious thoughts and motivations behind the relationship with the subject.

It was me in you all along but
Realizing that the relationship is not just about the subject, but is also a reflection of the artist's own desires and values.

Still here I stand back were we started
Despite the revelations and growth, still recognizing that there is always more to learn and more to work on.

I lost it all in you
Acknowledging the sacrifices and changes made for the sake of the relationship.

I gave it all away
Giving everything to the subject and the relationship, without hesitation or reservation.

I gave it all away to you
Declaring the depth of love and devotion for the subject, and expressing the belief that it is worth any cost or sacrifice.
