Will There Be Enough Water?
The Dead Weather Lyrics

The lyrics to The Dead Weather's song "Will There Be Enough Water?" seem to revolve around the theme of uncertainty and doubt. The use of water and wind as metaphors for resources and support accentuates these themes. The singer seems to be questioning whether they will have enough of these resources to succeed in their journey. The repetition of the line "When my ship comes in" adds to this sense of uncertainty as it indicates that the singer is still waiting for their breakthrough.

The first stanza introduces the water metaphor where the singer is asking if they will have enough water when their ship arrives. The second stanza follows with the wind metaphor and the same question of whether they will have enough wind to set sail. Then the chorus repeats this question of whether there will be enough water when their ship comes in, reiterating the uncertainty. The third stanza introduces a new element, with the lyrics "Just because you caught me, does that make it a sin?" This line could be interpreted in different ways, but it could be reflecting on the idea that being caught or exposed doesn't necessarily make one guilty. It's possible that the singer is facing judgment or criticism for something they've done, and they're questioning whether it's a sin, or if there's more to the situation than what meets the eye.

Overall, the lyrics of "Will There Be Enough Water?" convey a feeling of doubt and uncertainty, as the singer is unsure if they'll have enough resources, both literally and metaphorically, to succeed.
