Blackwater
Finding Solace: Reflecting on Memories by Blackwater
Lyrics
I know that you are gone
I acknowledge your absence
And you will never be forgotten
You will be remembered eternally
I hope that you have found your place
I wish you have found a peaceful place
For you to rest your head
A place for you to find tranquility
You rest your head
Emphasis on finding peace and solace
In that place that we swam
Recollection of a shared swimming location
In the backwater
In the stagnant water
I couldn't touch my toes
Personal limitation – unable to touch toes
To the bottom
Referencing the depth of the water
Five years ago today
Reflection on a significant event five years ago
We went our separate ways
The divergence of paths with someone
I hope that you have found your place
Wishing peace for the departed
For you to rest your head
A repeated desire for the departed to find rest
You rest your head
Reiteration of the wish for peace
In that place that we swam
Nostalgia for the shared swimming place
In the backwater
In the stagnant water, echoing past memories
I couldn't touch my toes
Recalling a physical limitation – unable to touch toes
To the bottom
Reiterating the depth of the water
I know that you are gone
Reaffirmation of acknowledgment of absence
And you will never be forgotten
Assurance of perpetual remembrance
I hope that you have found your place
Reiteration of the wish for a serene afterlife
For you to rest your head
Repeating the desire for the departed to find peace
You rest your head
Repetition of the idea of finding rest
And that place that we swam
Transition to the present state of the swimming place
Is now clear blue water
The once stagnant water is now clear and pure
And I dive deep down in it
Symbolic dive into a transformed and clearer situation
I can see the bottom
Ability to perceive the depth and clarity of the present
