The Ebb and Flow
Navigating Life's Ebb and Flow: Hot Water Music Reflections
Lyrics
I get deflated thinking about this now
The speaker feels disheartened when thinking about their current situation.
But I've got got so far away
Despite feeling distant from their expectations, they've still managed to move a considerable distance.
From where I thought I would be
They've strayed far from their anticipated life path.
And this town with it's burning air
The environment, characterized by intense heat and frequent heavy rain, impacts the speaker negatively.
And downpour everyday is weighing hard on me.
The consistent, burdensome rainfall in the town is emotionally taxing.
But I can't fight the ebb and flow,
Despite the difficulties, the speaker can't resist or oppose the natural rhythm of life.
It's still pulling me.
Their connection to the natural order persists, continuing to influence them.
And shifting all the time,
Life is constantly changing, and the speaker feels the pull of these fluctuations.
The ebb and flow pulling me with it,
The ebb and flow of life have a compelling force that affects the speaker.
Asking me all the time to give into it.
They feel pressured by life's ups and downs, being prompted to surrender to its sway.
I'm equating this town
The speaker associates the town with a defining aspect of their identity.
As this thing that defines me
They believe the town shapes who they are, despite the potential to be themselves elsewhere.
But where I go I still will be.
Regardless of their location, their essence remains unchanged.
And I'm wrong so long as I remain
The speaker acknowledges their mistake in tying their identity too closely to the town.
Letting the past hold on to me,
They're allowing past experiences to have a firm grip on them.
Letting myself get lost in it.
They're becoming lost in their past, losing sight of the present and future.
But I can't fight the ebb and flow,
Despite the struggle, they can't resist the natural flow of life's changes.
It's still pulling me.
Their connection to the ebb and flow persists, exerting its influence.
And shifting all the time,
The constant changes in life continue to impact the speaker.
The ebb and flow pulling me with it,
The rhythmic pull of life's changes remains strong, influencing the speaker.
Asking me all the time to give into it.
Their inner conflict involves the consistent pressure to yield to life's natural fluctuations.
