Agua De Beber
Xavier Osmir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And left us here to stay
And I understand
I do
We write and think of her
About whatever may occur
We ask the clouds in the sky
We do
When you passed over it hit us
You are the one who knew
The only hidden truth
We write and think of her
About whatever may occur
We ask the clouds in the sky
We do
When you were here you didn't feed us
When you passed over it hit us
You are the one who knew
The only hidden truth
Thirty-five and I am only beginning to understand
What this is all about
Do you think you will be able to forgive me?
Do you?
Thirty-five and I am only beginning to understand
What this is all about
Do you think you will be able to forgive me?
Do you?
In "Agua De Beber," Xavier Osmir sings about the pain of losing a close friend and the lingering questions left in the aftermath of their departure. The lyrics describe a sense of longing and confusion as the singer and their community try to come to terms with the reality of their loss. The first verse acknowledges the friend's absence and the difficulty of moving forward without them. The second verse shifts to a reflection on the friend's impact and the unanswered questions that remain after their departure. The repetition of the line "We write and think of her / About whatever may occur / We ask the clouds in the sky / We do" emphasizes the sense of searching for answers and understanding in the void left by the friend's absence.
The chorus adds another layer to the song's exploration of loss and longing with the lines "When you were here you didn't feed us / When you passed over it hit us / You are the one who knew / The only hidden truth." Here, the singer reflects on the friend's past actions and the emotional impact of their absence. The repetition of the phrase "the only hidden truth" suggests a sense of frustration with the friend's departure and the unresolved questions it has left behind.
The final lines of the song shift again towards introspection as the singer considers what they have learned from their friend's departure. The repetition of the line "Thirty-five and I am only beginning to understand / What this is all about / Do you think you will be able to forgive me?" underscores the uncertain nature of grief and the often-difficult process of coming to terms with loss.
