Bath Time
Bathing in Reflections: Mia Stegner's Soothing Waters of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I stayed in the bath until the water wasn’t hot anymore
I remained in the bath until the water cooled down.
I could’ve moved but I was too busy staring at the floor
I could have moved, but I was too occupied staring at the floor.
Something about the water
There is something about the water.
Makes me feel like more than a sister or a daughter
The water makes me feel a connection beyond being a sister or daughter.
Water
Water.
Makes me feel like more
Water makes me feel like more.
Everything will be okay
Assurance that everything will be okay.
Maybe it’s only true during bath time
Perhaps this assurance is only true during bath time.
Everything will be okay
Reiteration that everything will be okay.
Maybe it has been true for the last time
Suggesting that this assurance may not hold true in the future.
Off my phone and all alone
Acknowledging being away from the phone and feeling lonely.
Maybe it’s only true during bath time
This reassurance might be valid only during bath time.
Sense of peace and stress release
Feeling a sense of peace and experiencing stress release.
Maybe it has been true for the last time
This sense of peace may not last beyond the present moment.
I stayed in the bath until the water wasn’t hot anymore
Repeated staying in the bath until the water cooled.
I could’ve moved but I was too busy staring at the drawer
Could have moved but was preoccupied staring at the drawer.
Something about the water
Emphasizing the transformative effect of water.
Makes me feel like a duck or fish or an otter
The water makes the person feel like a duck, fish, or otter.
Water
Water.
Makes me feel like more
Water makes the person feel like more.
Everything will be okay
Reassurance that everything will be okay.
Maybe it’s only true during bath time

Everything will be okay

This reassurance might only hold during bath time.
Sense of peace and stress release
