water
golda may Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lapping at my feet, talking to me
All red shoulders in the heat
So I step into the sea, floating softly
It′s tryin' to say somethin′
A warnin' or maybe nothin'
Oh, I′m a daughter drownin' in a cup
It′s filling my lungs up
Dripping from my tongue now
Oh, this water keeps on showin' up
In deep, sister by my side
These waves are twice our height in the high tide
In life I usually despise her
But here she saves my life, I don′t die
It's tryin′ to say somethin'
A warnin' or maybe nothin′
Oh, this water keeps on showin′ up
Oh, I'm a daughter drownin′ in a cup
And It's filling my lungs up
Dripping from my tongue now
Oh, this watеr keeps on showing up
(Oh, this water keeps on showing up)
It′s filling my lungs up
Dripping from my tongue now
Oh, this water keeps on showing up
Ah ah ah ah
I thought I could hеar you
I thought I could hear you
When you came to me every night
I thought I could hear you
The lyrics to this song bring forth a vivid image of an individual in their dream, experiencing the sound of water. The water is lapping at their feet and talking to them. It seems almost as if the water is trying to convey a message of some sort, a warning perhaps, but it may also be nothing at all. The singer then describes the sensation of drowning in a cup, as if the water is so close and yet so far away. The water keeps appearing, filling their lungs and dripping from their tongue. The imagery used in this song is powerful, as it is not just about experiencing water in a dream, but about the overwhelming feeling of being engulfed by something, even if it is just a cup of water.
The song progresses to describe the singer's sister being present in this dream, experiencing the same waves that are twice their height. The sister, who the singer typically despises, ends up saving the singer's life in the dream. The water is still trying to say something, but the message is unclear, leaving the listener wondering what it could be. The repetition of the phrase "Oh, this water keeps on showing up" emphasizes the significance of water and how it is a recurring and persistent theme in the singer's dream, even if its purpose is unclear.
