...Into The Water
White Walls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would like to know if my mistakes await
For this moment, I say that I am not sure
For this moment, I say that I am not sure at all
Today, it’s time, I am not sure at all
I am ready for surviving, as the story goes
Fading moments into nightmares
That is what I know
That is what we know
Silence in the cold
That is what we know
Silence in the cold
It’s time to go back
In my graves
Time tears us apart
As always
You can be the one who walks inside my dreams again
The war is dead
No conscience
Can be so unaffected
Burning cities into silence
The lyrics to White Walls's song "Into The Water" seem to be exploring themes of regret, uncertainty, and survival. The singer is standing inside a circle of regrets and unsure if their mistakes await them. The lyrics convey a sense of confusion and hesitation, with the singer stating that they are "not sure at all" and that "today, it's time" but they are still uncertain. The idea of surviving despite fading moments and nightmares is presented, and the singer acknowledges that we all come and go in this way. The repetition of "that is what we know" emphasizes the cyclical nature of life and death, with silence being the only certainty.
The latter half of the song seems to shift focus to a different narrative, with the singer urging someone to "be the one who walks inside my dreams again." The war is declared dead, with no conscience remaining unaffected. The burning of cities is presented as a grotesque expression of this, with silence once again being the final outcome. It's unclear how this narrative fits into the earlier exploration of regret and survival, but the lyrical themes of uncertainty and silence tie the two together.
Overall, "Into The Water" seems to be a contemplation of the human experience and the various moments of pain and confusion that come with it. The cyclical nature of life and death is presented as a certainty, with uncertainty and silence being the only constants.
