Young Coconut Water
Eternal Bonds and Frozen Trails: Young Coconut Water Tale
Lyrics
well it just so happened
Refers to a specific event or circumstance
when we were each others.
During a time when they were close or intimate
we pricked our fingers
They accidentally pricked their fingers
and became blood brothers.
Resulted in a symbolic bond like blood brothers
it was an accident really
Highlights the accidental nature of their connection
we were kids
They were children at the time
climbing on barbed wire.
Engaged in risky activities, such as climbing on barbed wire
to go feed the colts
They went to feed colts
little bombs on fire.
Reference to a dangerous situation involving fire
and then again,
Transition to a later period in life
when we were older.
Recalls another meeting, this time while ice climbing
by coincidence met
They met by coincidence
ice climbing frozen boulders.
Describes the activity of ice climbing frozen boulders
we both anchored the pick ax
Both used a pick ax in the climbing activity
and by surprise
The pick ax struck simultaneously
it struck simultaneously
Emphasizes the surprise of the event
in each of our sides.
Resulted in injury on each side
and so this time
Another bond formed, this time as blood sisters
we became blood sisters.
Highlighting the gender change in the relationship
I'm your type A
Identifies the speaker as a type A personality
when you're needing transfusion
Mention of providing a transfusion when needed
and you're not to blame
States that the listener is not to blame for the situation
it's both our confusion.
Acknowledges shared confusion
I, too, walk away
Describes the speaker as a daughter born again like a god
like god's born again daughter
Similarity to fresh pumped young coconut water
like fresh pumped in the vein
Emphasizes innocence and freshness
young coconut water.
Metaphorical description of the speaker
Innocent and Ignoble.
Describes the speaker as both innocent and ignoble
Through all adventure
Reflecting on various life experiences
I've learned a score.
Learned lessons from these adventures
It's not your lover
Realization that the search for a lover is not the key
You've been searching for.
Clarifies that the true search is not for a romantic partner
No matter the carriage
Regardless of the external circumstances
The wheels spoke aloud
Metaphor for life's journey
as you drive'd
The wheels of the carriage make a statement
this is not about your lover,
Reiteration that the focus is not on romantic love
it's not about your lover.
Emphasizes once again that it's not about a romantic partner
It's your genius you're longing to Keep Alive.
Stresses the importance of preserving one's genius
It's your genius you're longing to keep alive.
Reiteration of the longing to preserve one's genius
