Diamonds On The Water
Diamonds on the Water: A Poetic Journey through Turmoil and Hope
Lyrics
Stuck in the shallows, burnt and blistered
Feeling stuck in a challenging situation, experiencing pain and damage.
Turimetta on my mind
Thinking about Turimetta, possibly a place with personal significance.
Things have shattered into safety glass
Events have broken into pieces like safety glass, suggesting a fragmented or shattered state.
Catch the light and turn me blind
Observing the beauty that can be blinding, catching the light metaphorically.
If I could find some depth, well
Expressing a desire to find depth or meaning in the situation.
That’s alright, dear
Acceptance of the current state, finding comfort in it.
Breathe it in it will be clear
Encouragement to breathe in, suggesting clarity will follow.
Follow echo’s of the setting sun
Following echoes of the setting sun, a metaphor for seeking guidance.
And wait for morning birds to cheer
Waiting for the positive and hopeful morning.
There’s diamonds on the water
Reference to diamonds on the water, symbolizing beauty in difficulty.
But you’re drowning, you’re drowning
Despite the beauty, there's a feeling of drowning, possibly in challenges or emotions.
These waves might take them from you
Recognition that challenges might take away the beauty, emphasizing vigilance.
So keep watching, keep watching
Advising to keep watching and staying aware of the situation.
‘Cause you never know, this ever-glow
Emphasizing the unpredictable nature of life, represented by the ever-glow.
Might bring you home
Suggesting that unpredictable events might lead one back home.
So let it show, don’t let it go, don’t let it go
Encouraging not to let the positive aspects go.
‘Cause there’s diamonds on the water
Reiterating the presence of diamonds on the water, despite challenges.
So keep watching, keep watching
Reinforcing the idea of staying vigilant and observant.
Like a shadow in the clear sky
Using imagery of a shadow in clear sky and a shooting star in the rain to convey paradoxes.
A shooting star in the rain
Highlighting the rarity and beauty of positive events even in difficult circumstances.
Don’t need to see it to believe it
Belief that seeing is not necessary to believe in the positive aspects of life.
Let the glisten save your pain
Suggesting that the glisten, or beauty, can alleviate pain.
If I could find some depth, well
Reiteration of the desire to find depth and meaning.
That’s alright, dear
Reaffirmation of acceptance and finding clarity.
Breathe it in it will be clear
Encouragement to breathe in for clarity.
Follow echo’s of the setting sun
Continuing to follow echoes for guidance.
And wait for morning birds to cheer
Waiting for the positivity represented by morning birds.
There’s diamonds on the water
Repeating the symbolism of diamonds on the water.
But you’re drowning, you’re drowning
Reiterating the feeling of drowning despite the beauty.
These waves might take them from you
Warning that challenges might take away the positive aspects.
So keep watching, keep watching
Emphasizing the need to keep watching and staying aware.
‘Cause you never know, this ever-glow
Highlighting the unpredictable nature of positive events.
Might bring you home
Suggesting that the ever-glow might lead one back home.
So let it show, don’t let it go, don’t let it go
Advising not to let go of the positive aspects.
