Water
The Blondes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Desire, no one
Sees it, nothing
Cleans it, human
Find a, week
Religion, soon to
See you, call you
Kill you, how can I contribute
I don't want to, won't to
Lose my mind, and strike, another degradation
Tell me
Why then, why then
Why do you listen
Imagine all the wall return
This time, my face
My sky, prophet's
Features, childish
Creatures, walk around you
Not you, in you
Still without you
The sound, I make
I still want to know
A time, moment
And I'll be there to sail on
Rapid waters
But now, that I
See you, in a
Field of grass, I ask you
Why then, why then
Wasted wounded silent love
Imagine all the love return
The Blondes’ song Water is a mysterious and enigmatic piece of music with thought-provoking lyrics. The song opens up with the lines, "This crime, for him, Desire no one, Sees it, nothing, Cleans it, human." These phrases suggest that the song's persona has committed a crime but hasn't been caught, and the desire to get away with it is human nature. The persona is expressing their guilt about the crime and their desire to confess but can't seem to find the courage to do so.
The lyrics then move on to asking someone to tell them how they can contribute or help out. The persona is asking someone to make them do something but is hesitant to do it themselves. They don't want to lose their mind and commit another degradation, but they also want to find a way to confess their crime without suffering the consequences.
The second half of the song takes a more introspective turn, with the persona talking about their emotions and desires. The lines "This time, my face, My sky, prophet's, Features, childish, Creatures, walk around you," could be interpreted as the persona exploring their identity and searching for their purpose in life. They want to be more than just another creature, and they want to find their place in the world.
Overall, Water is a complex and ambiguous song that deals with themes of guilt, identity, and desire. The cryptic lyrics allow for multiple interpretations, making it a fascinating piece of music that warrants multiple listens.
