Watertower
Yearning for Roots: Embracing Humanity Amidst the Concrete Jungle
Lyrics
I might get crazy
I might become emotionally overwhelmed or unstable
cause I miss myself
Because I feel a sense of loss or disconnection from my true self
The child in me
Referring to the innocence and spontaneity of childhood
Longing to be free
Desire to break free from constraints and rediscover a liberated self
God I feel like
Expressing a strong emotion or sensation
Falling from a watertower
Feeling like I am descending or losing control, similar to falling from a watertower
Tall like the trees I
Comparing oneself to tall trees while walking among them
Walk among slipping through
Moving through life effortlessly, like water slipping through hands
My hands like water
Using a metaphor for the transient nature of life and experiences
When I realize I can’t be like
Acknowledging limitations and the impossibility of being like non-human entities
Those trees cause I’m a human
Recognizing human identity and the constraints it imposes
Breathing in the air they feed me
Acknowledging dependence on nature for sustenance
I might get crazy
Reiteration of the potential for emotional instability due to self-miss
cause I miss myself
Expressing a yearning for one's own essence or identity
The child in me
Referring again to the childlike, unrestrained aspect of oneself
Longing to be free
Desire for freedom and a return to a more spontaneous state
And I get crazy
Reiteration of potential emotional instability due to missing one's brain
Cause I miss my brain
Expressing a sense of loss or disconnection from intellectual faculties
The child in me
Referring to the childlike curiosity or intellectual innocence
Longing to be free
Desire for freedom and a return to a more intellectually unrestrained state
Sometimes it feels like
Describing a feeling of alienation among unfamiliar faces
I walk among strange faces I don’t know
Mentioning the sensation of walking amidst unknown individuals
In the supermarket
Specifically in the context of a supermarket, a place of routine and mundane encounters
Reaching out for hands to touch
Desiring human connection and touch in a seemingly impersonal environment
I’m not that odd
Asserting normalcy, emphasizing the common need for companionship
I just miss someone
Expressing a yearning for someone to share emotions with and establish a connection
To share this feeling with so we could bond
Expressing a desire for shared experiences and emotional bonding
And share
Highlighting the importance of sharing
And talk
Emphasizing the significance of communication
And love
Stressing the importance of love in human connection
I might get crazy
Reiteration of potential emotional instability due to self-miss
cause I miss myself
Expressing a yearning for one's own essence or identity
The child in me
Referring again to the childlike, unrestrained aspect of oneself
Longing to be free
Desire for freedom and a return to a more spontaneous state
And I get crazy
Reiteration of potential emotional instability due to missing one's brain
Cause I miss my brain
Expressing a sense of loss or disconnection from intellectual faculties
The child in me
Referring to the childlike curiosity or intellectual innocence
Longing to be free
Desire for freedom and a return to a more intellectually unrestrained state
