WATERS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I had a little bit too much
Had a feeling in a big way
That I was always feeling out of touch
But to pull me up and to throw me down
We were both tied up in the same old town
I could fool myself into fooling around I prefer to think on my own
To go back to you my only back to you my only way to prove you owe me way to prove
Now I'm out into the ocean
And I can feel it like I used to now
I was different for a long time now
I'm hoping i don't need you around
But I lost my head in the morning light as I held my tongue and tried not to try
And I always know what it takes to lie I prefer to speak my mind
I don't care no more say goodbye walk out the door
Don't know why I thought that before was I blind just dumb and bored
To go back to you my only back to you my only way to prove you owe me way to prove
In this song, the singer talks about a past relationship that was not genuine. They fell for a love that was not real and they believe that they were blinded by it. They had a feeling of being disconnected and out of touch even when they were together. The relationship was tumultuous, and they both ended up getting hurt. However, now the singer is on their own and in a better place. They feel like they are out in the ocean, free and at peace. They do not need the other person around, and they are hoping that they can move on without them.
The lyrics suggest that the singer was not happy in the relationship and needed to break free from it. They come to the realization that they do not want to go back to that person and they do not need them to feel complete. The song talks about the process of letting go of a toxic relationship, which can be challenging and painful, but is necessary for personal growth and healing.
Line by Line Meaning
I was falling for a fake love
I was investing my emotions in a relationship that was not genuine
I think I had a little bit too much
I believe I allowed myself to fall too deeply and blindly into that relationship
Had a feeling in a big way / That I was always feeling out of touch
I had a strong intuition that I was disconnected and out of sync with my partner
But to pull me up and to throw me down / We were both tied up in the same old town
We experienced highs and lows as a couple, but ultimately remained stuck in our mundane surroundings
I could fool myself into fooling around / I prefer to think on my own
I was capable of deceiving myself into being unfaithful, but I value my independence of thought
Now I'm out into the ocean / And I can feel it like I used to now / I was different for a long time now / I'm hoping i don't need you around
I am now free and unencumbered, able to feel the sense of liberation I experienced before I was in that relationship. I had changed a lot while in that relationship and now I hope that I do not require my partner's presence again.
But I lost my head in the morning light / As I held my tongue and tried not to try / And I always know what it takes to lie / I prefer to speak my mind
I became disoriented in the morning's daylight as I attempted to hold back my emotions and not put forth any effort into repairing the relationship. Despite knowing how to deceive, I value honesty and transparency in my communication.
I don't care no more say goodbye walk out the door / Don't know why I thought that before was I blind just dumb and bored / To go back to you my only back to you my only way to prove you owe me way to prove
I am no longer invested and ready to leave, unsure why I had believed otherwise. I was foolish in considering returning because that would be the only way to prove to myself that I had not been at fault and deserved acknowledgment from my partner.

Very Bruce Springsteeneque, so much energy & so harmonically balanced for such a fast beat. Just want to add it's a relief to finally see a bunch of musicians that aren't all tattooed up. Their skin is au. natural, adorned only with minimalist jewelry, sometimes. It's not that I hate tattoos, just so many musicians, actors and other celebs are going overboard, just hiding themselves with them. They have great bodies, why hide it by inking. them up?

I feel that Paul Westerburge and Bruce Springsteen had a baby somewhere along the way?! O.O I'm digging the offspring. Love this band!
