The Water's Gonna Save Me
Embracing Resilience: Finding Salvation in Nature's Tears
Lyrics
Staring through the looking glass from a distance
Contemplating from a distance, observing life through a metaphorical looking glass.
And I’m wondering “what’s the use?”
Expressing doubt about the usefulness of certain actions or situations.
Living lives made of contradiction
Living lives filled with contradictory elements.
It’s so hard to obtain the truth
Expressing the difficulty of discovering or grasping the truth.
And ain’t it always like that?
Reflecting on the common occurrence of expressing love or desire and then retracting it.
Say we love it then we take it right back
Highlighting the tendency to take back expressions of love or commitment.
Know we need it but we give it right back.
Recognizing the need for something but relinquishing it shortly after.
Doubtful of these trying times and winding lies, we are.
Expressing skepticism about challenging times and the prevalence of deceit.
I am, for sure
Affirming personal doubt and uncertainty in the face of difficulties.
(Ooh) Now I don’t believe in nothing ‘til I discover all the clues.
Declaring a reluctance to believe in anything until all the evidence is uncovered.
Believing in you was one thing when I had everything to lose.
Reflecting on a past time when belief was easier with less at stake.
And I’ll believe when I’m ready but I’ll never be ready to choose
Expressing a willingness to believe in the future but hesitancy to make choices.
When they break the news. Yeah, the news
Referencing a moment of receiving impactful news.
And it just won’t quit raining
Describing a persistent and overwhelming emotional state, likened to continuous rain.
Mother nature’s falling tears.
Symbolizing the tears of Mother Nature as a metaphor for emotional pain.
But this water’s gonna save me.
Expressing hope that water, metaphorically, will bring salvation and relief.
It’ll wash away my fears
Believing that water will wash away fears and provide solace.
Yeah, cause ain’t it always like that?
Reiterating the pattern of expressing love and then retracting it.
Say we love it then we take it right back
Acknowledging the cyclical nature of needing and then giving things back.
Know we need it but we give it right back.
Recognizing doubt in challenging times and pervasive deception.
Doubtful of these trying times and winding lies, we are.
Reaffirming personal uncertainty in difficult situations.
I am, for sure
Reiterating personal doubt and skepticism.
(Ooh) Now I don’t believe in nothing ‘til I discover all the clues.
Reiterating reluctance to believe without complete understanding.
Believing in you was one thing when I had everything to lose.
Reflecting on a time when belief was easier due to having less to lose.
And I’ll believe when I’m ready but I’ll never be ready to choose
Expressing a willingness to believe in the future but hesitancy to make choices.
When they break the news. Yeah, the news
Referencing the impact of receiving significant or impactful news.
