Something In The Water
Three Miles Out Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes it makes me feel, feel quite bizarre
There's something in the water that makes it hard to breathe
Sometimes I want to hold my breath can we heal this disease
Can we stop this world before it turns
Can we bring ourselves to all confess
Gives something to talk about
And the way we like to place the blame
Gives us something to read about
There something in the water that keeps s all insane
Cause we all think we're different, but we're- really all the same
There's something in the sunlight, that makes us close our eyes
Sometimes I close my eyes so tight that I can see myself inside
Can we stop this world before it turns
Can we bring ourselves to all confess
That the way, we call each other names
Gives us so-thing to talk about
And the way we like to place the blame
Gives us something to read about
And the way we call each other name.
Gives us something to talk about
And the way we like to play our games
Watch each other go without, go without
There's something in the water, that makes us the way we are
Cause sometimes it makes me feel, feel quite bizarre
There's something in the air, that makes it hard to breathe
Sometimes I want to hold my breath can we heal this disease
Can we stop this world before it turns
Can we bring ourselves to all confess
That the way, we call each other names
Gives us something to talk about
And the way we like to place the blame
Gives us something to read about
And the way we call each other names gives us something to talk about
And the way we like to play our games watch each other go without, go without
The lyrics of Three Miles Out's song "Something in the Water" talk about how there is something in the water, the air and the sunlight that affects people's behavior, making them act in a strange way. Sometimes it is hard to breathe and people feel like they are suffocating. There is something wrong with the world, and unless we confess and acknowledge the problem, things are only going to get worse. The way we talk to each other and blame each other is only adding fuel to the fire, making matters worse.
The lyrics encourage people to look at themselves and their actions and question them. Why do we call each other names? Why do we place blame on others? These actions only create negativity and hold us back from moving forward. We need to stop playing games and start taking responsibility for our actions. The last verse repeats the chorus, emphasizing the idea that there is something affecting people negatively, and unless we take action and work to make a change, the problem will only grow worse.
Overall, the song's message encourages people to reflect on their actions and consider how they can work to make themselves and the world a better place.
