Black Water
Navigating Life's Changes: Reflections in 'Black Water'
Lyrics
There’s no change in my life.
Expressing a lack of significant changes in the speaker's life.
Feel like I’ve been here before and spent time.
Feeling a sense of familiarity, as if the speaker has experienced similar situations before.
What’s the pay, what’s the price?
Questioning the rewards and costs associated with the speaker's current lifestyle.
In a real nice place when I write.
Writing in a pleasant environment or mental state.
Pass all your things to the side.
Putting aside distractions or material possessions to focus on something important.
It’s worth it, must be.
Suggesting that the effort invested is worthwhile.
If I had to tell you something would you trust me? I don’t even think I do it, but I must be.
Expressing uncertainty about personal trust and self-awareness.
Imagine if we moved out the country.
Imagining a scenario of moving to a different, possibly more tranquil, location.
Somewhere nice and lovely, but I’m obsessed with music, and I check my listeners monthly.
Balancing a desire for a peaceful life with a strong commitment to music and audience engagement.
I hope that one day we can do things, I owe you bare time ‘cause you loved me.
Acknowledging indebtedness to someone for their love and hoping for a future together.
I can’t forget not one thing, when I had nothing you would front me.
Remembering the support received when the speaker had nothing.
Chorus:
Chorus section begins.
I don’t know the answers, I can’t even tell what you mean without asking, gutted that I live in a flat with no garden, and can’t let the cat out the window regardless.
Expressing uncertainty and frustration about not knowing the answers, living in a confined space, and feeling restricted.
The drops too big, get deep on one or two things. I think about stuff for too long but it’s what you think, I don’t know what you want from this.
Reflecting on deep thoughts, overthinking, and expressing confusion about others' expectations.
I know now, so I slow down.
Acknowledging self-awareness and choosing to slow down in life.
Got my shows down, always sold out.
Boasting about successful shows that are consistently sold out.
Ask anyone I know round, I’m mostly in don’t go town.
Indicating a preference for a quieter lifestyle, avoiding busy town areas.
Taking trips to new places, need to meet new people to see new faces.
Expressing the need for new experiences and connections by traveling to new places and meeting new people.
I don’t know if it’s me, but it’s been ages.
Noting the passage of time and a feeling of uncertainty.
I feel confident now I can see changes.
Gaining confidence and recognizing positive personal changes.
It’s the same feeling, yeah it’s a great feeling. I’ve grown up, any exes I’ll make peace with, any friends that I blocked out the same reason.
Reflecting on personal growth, making amends with past relationships, and reconciling with blocked-out friends.
Some things don’t change that’s the same reason, how the lake out my window stays freezing, all the leaves on the tree don’t stay green and
Highlighting the persistence of certain things, like the freezing lake and changing leaves, despite personal growth.
I tell my close friends stay schemin, it’s a hard thing to make p’s off, but it’s a great feeling
Advising close friends to stay strategic in navigating challenges and expressing satisfaction despite difficulties.
