Lyrics
One half of me is still shaking
One part of my identity is still in turmoil or unsettled.
The other half is still waiting for a lover
The other part is anticipating or expecting a romantic partner.
Walk down the water slide
Metaphorically, moving through a situation effortlessly or recklessly, like going down a water slide.
Look in my eyes show me a sign
Request to be understood or recognized through eye contact.
Some people swim in the gravy
Contrasting with those who have an easy time (swim) in a favorable situation, the singer is patiently waiting for a lover.
I'm sitting here and waiting for a lover
Continuation of the anticipation for a romantic partner.
Come down to the other side
Move to the metaphorical "other side," perhaps seeking a change or resolution.
Look in my eyes tell me you're mine
Desire for confirmation of affection through eye contact.
After the cut then comes the blood
After a difficult experience, the pain or consequences follow.
Falls to the dirt turns into mud
The aftermath becomes messy or complicated, like mud.
From the soil we'll grow together
A positive outlook, growth, or unity emerging from challenging circumstances.
That's no way to get to heaven
Expressing skepticism or disagreement with the idea that facing hardship is the way to reach heaven.
And everyone thinks it's crazy
Observation that many consider the situation absurd or irrational.
Sitting here and we are waiting for a lover
Continued waiting for a lover amidst the perceived craziness.
Step down the water slide
Continuation of the metaphorical journey, stepping down a water slide.
Look in my eyes tell me your mine
Request for confirmation of love through eye contact.
After the cut then comes the blood
Reiteration of the idea that after a difficult experience, consequences follow.
Falls to the dirt turns into mud
These consequences transform and become messy, like mud.
From the soil we grow together
Positive growth emerging from challenges, emphasizing unity.
That's no way to get to heaven
Reaffirmation that facing hardship is not the way to attain heaven.
