Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quencher of thirst
You satisfy my soul
Your love never dries up
It always overflows
No matter where I am
Your grace showers down
When it feels like I'm at the end
You give me life again
You're a flowing river
I'm the panting deer
When I feel so far
I know you're always near
In the driest desert
You're a well of water
In my weakest moment
You are always there
Water (You fill me, You fill me)
You fill me (Oh)
Water (You save me, You save me)
You save me (Living Water)
Living Water (I need You, I need You)
I need You (To run in my life)
To run in my life (And saturate my heart)
And saturate my heart again
If you're thirsty let me see you clap your hands
If You got that living water clap your hands
If You Love Him let me see you jump and dance (You are)
Quencher of thirst
(You satisfy my soul)
You satisfy my soul
(Your love never dries up)
Your love never dries up
(It always overflows)
It always overflows
(No matter where, No matter where I am)
No matter where I am
(Your grace showers down)
Your grace showers down
(When it feels like I'm at the end)
When it feels like I'm at the end
(You give me life again)
You give me life again
You're a flowing river
I'm the panting deer
When I feel so far
I know you're always near
In the driest desert
You're a well of water
In my weakest moment
You are always there
Water (You fill me, You fill me)
You fill me (I need You oh)
Water (You save me, You save me)
You save me (There's nothing like that)
Living Water (Oh God I need You)
I need You (To run in my life)
To run in my life (And saturate my heart)
And saturate my heart again
If you're thirsty let me see you clap your hands
If You got that living water clap your hands
If You Love Him let me see you jump and dance
Streams of mercy
Ever-flowing
Love like water
That never ends
Grace like oceans
Everlasting
Love like water
That never ends (you say)
Streams of mercy
Ever-flowing
Love like water
That never ends
Grace like oceans
Everlasting
Love like water
That never ends
Running rivers
Full of healing
Love like water
That never ends
All who are thirsty
Come and be filled
With Love like water
That never ends
(Oh, it never ends, it never ends)
Never ends
Jesus You are my
Water (You fill me, You fill me)
You fill me (oh)
Water (You save me, You save me)
You save me (I need Your)
Living Water (Oh God I need You)
I need You
To run in my life
And saturate my heart
To run in my life
And saturate my heart
To run in my life
And saturate my heart
Like nothing or nobody ever could
If you're thirsty let me see you clap your hands




If You got that living water clap your hands
If You Love Him let me see you jump and dance

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wave's song Water describe the singer's desire to escape from the pain and emptiness they feel in life. They are asking to be killed, either gently or brutally, and their instructions to their would-be killer reveal their deep sense of despair and hopelessness. The opening lines ask to be "killed softly" and then "sent away with a kiss on the forehead," indicating a desire for a peaceful end. However, the singer also asks to be gutted while they are still conscious, suggesting a need for a release from their emotional pain.


The second verse continues with this theme of wanting to die and escape from the things that are causing them pain. The singer asks to be shot in the head, and suggests that there is no point in trying to fight against life because there is no reward. They then express frustration at how the world is governed by "sons of doctors and dreamy businessmen" who are essentially greedy, selfish children. The singer contrasts this with their own desire to simply exist and live, rather than constantly striving for material wealth.


The final verse expresses a desire to see someone, presumably a lover, in the raw and honest state of being naked. The repeated chorus "kill me only" underscores the singer's intense desire for release from their suffering.

We are ancient Hebrew Israelites. This is what this song is about our connection to them.
The Hebrew Israelites are the people from Sudan, Ethiopia, Senegal, Israel, Congo ect.
These people in Sudan look just like the Gullah people a.k.a Gods chosen people.
Gullah translated from the Hebrew language means ancient Hebrew Israelite. Google the word Gullah you will understand.
