La Madrugada
Navigating the Flood: A Song of Love and Resilience by Ezra Furman
Lyrics
Don't you go outside if it's raining too hard
Cautioning against going outside in heavy rain
Don't you go outside if it's raining too hard
Reiteration of the warning about heavy rain
You got to take care of yourself babe
Encouraging self-care in challenging situations
When the world begins to flood
Addressing a metaphorical flood in the world
There's one way out and we're gonna find it
Expressing determination to find a way out
There's one way out and we're gonna find it
Reaffirming the resolve to discover an escape
Gonna build a beautiful boat
Planning to build a boat to leave the troubled world
And leave this world behind us
Expressing the intention to leave worldly troubles behind
Don't worry babe, I've got ya
Assuring someone of protection and support
I ain't gonna let you go
Commitment to not letting the person go
I'm counting on you babe
Expressing reliance on the other person
If you're counting on me babe
Questioning if the other person is also relying on them
To save you from the water below
Commitment to saving the person from a crisis
And I won't go outside if it's raining too hard
Reiteration of avoiding going outside in heavy rain
I won't go outside if it's raining too hard
Reaffirming the decision to stay indoors during heavy rain
I can see through the world of routine
Claiming insight beyond the mundane world
And into the mind of my God
Seeing into the mind of a higher power or deity
There's a hidden world and we're gonna find it
Expressing determination to discover a hidden world
There's a hidden world and we're gonna find it
Reaffirming the resolve to find a concealed reality
Gonna lead you through the open door
Intending to guide someone through an open door to revelation
And shower your head with kindness
Symbolic gesture of showering kindness on someone
Oh, don't worry babe, I've got ya
Reassuring someone of protection and commitment
I ain't gonna let you go
Renewing the promise not to let the person go
I'm counting on you babe
Expressing reliance on the other person in return
Are you counting on me babe?
Questioning if the person is also relying on them
To save you from the water below
Commitment to saving the person from a crisis, repeated
And I, always thought that I'd do something crazy
Reflecting on the expectation of doing something extraordinary
I always thought that I knew something crazy
Reiteration of expecting to know or experience something extraordinary
See the moon through the power lines
Observing the moon through the interference of power lines
I'll never stop loving my baby
Expressing enduring love for a significant other
