Fluid
ames Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who has the time, to have the time
To teach a stranger what you like?
Every beginner's the same
I don't even remember their names
I had a line memorized
But it, doesn't work that way
I'm missing what we had
Wishing we could get that backSee me, want me, conquer

We will, see who's, stronger
I don't need to talk you through it
We're locked into it
Our love,
speaks like,
water
It's fluidRemember when you laid your eyes
On this vast and wild land?
All you ever wanted was me
As far as the eye could see
The way you moved so fluently
You learned my body with your hands
Spoke my native tongue
And your war was won…
You, see me, want me, conquer
We will, see who's, stronger
I don't need to talk you through it
We're locked into it
Our love,
speaks like,
water
It's fluidRemember when you laid your eyes
On this vast and wild land?
All you ever wanted was me
As far as the eye could see
The way you moved so fluently
You learned my body with your hands
Spoke my native tongue
And your war was won…
You, see me, want me, conquer
We will, see who's, stronger
I don't need to talk you through it
We're locked into it
Our love,
speaks like,
water
It's fluid
Remember when you laid your eyes
On this vast and wild land?
All you ever wanted was me
As far as the eye could see
The way you moved so fluently
You learned my body with your hands
Spoke my native tongue
And your war was won…
You, see me, want me, conquer
We will, see who's, stronger
I don't need to talk you through it
We're locked into it
Our love,
speaks like,

water
It's fluid

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ames's song "Fluid" are open to interpretation but seem to be describing a past relationship that the singer wishes they could recapture. The first verse is about the difficulties of teaching someone to love you the way you want to be loved, and how it's hard to remember all the people who have tried and failed. The singer had a line memorized that they thought would work, but it didn't because love doesn't always follow a script. The chorus uses the metaphor of fluid to describe the way their love used to be - it flowed naturally and effortlessly.

The second verse describes the initial attraction between the singer and their partner. The partner saw the singer as the one thing they wanted in a vast and wild world. The way they moved together was like a dance, and the partner learned the singer's body and language. The war that was won could be interpreted as the struggle of finding love and finally achieving it with the right person. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the idea that their love was fluid and natural.

Overall, the song seems to be both a wistful remembrance of a past relationship and a celebration of the way love can be effortless when it's with the right person. The metaphor of water adds to the dreamy, flowing quality of the lyrics.

You can't imagine how many times I have listened to this song before this moment for the first time I watch this video. I used to listen with my imagination, nothing about sex or seduction, just a poor soul wondering outside a cave near the sea, singing a song like this.
