Thirst
Eternal Thirst: A Melancholic Dive into Unrequited Longing
Lyrics
From tide to tide you wash me up
Feeling tossed and brought back by the waves, a metaphor for the emotional ups and downs.
Keep finding myself on the shore
Consistently finding oneself in a vulnerable or exposed position.
You sweep in just as quick you're gone
Describing a fleeting presence, indicating a transient and unpredictable relationship.
Still I'm trying to swim in you
Despite challenges, attempting to immerse oneself in the relationship.
And I fill up my cup with you
Seeking fulfillment or sustenance from the relationship, possibly through emotional connection.
All it gets me is a never ending thirst
Expressing a sense of dissatisfaction and an unquenchable yearning despite efforts.
Oh lord love me
Pleading for divine intervention and love, suggesting a spiritual or transcendent dimension to the relationship.
Oh lord love me
-Oh lord make him love me
-Oh lord make him love me
-Seems like yesterday I jumped in your sweet summer water
Reflecting on a past experience of immersion in a positive, blissful state.
Now it's freezing November
Contrasting the initial positive experience with a current state of coldness and uncertainty, using seasons as metaphors.
And I don't know if I'll get out until
-The ice sets
-I was only one of many who were
Indicating a shared experience with others in being baptized or initiated into the same emotional waters.
Baptised in you
-Oh lord love me
Repetition of the plea for love, reinforcing the theme of longing and the desire for reciprocated affection.
Oh lord love me
-Oh lord make him love me
-Oh lord make him love me
-Oh lord love me
Continued emphasis on the plea for divine assistance in gaining love, suggesting a sense of powerlessness or desperation.
Oh lord love me
-Oh lord make him love me
-Oh lord make him love me
