Lyrics
What
Questioning or pondering
Do we do in the sun
Contemplating activities or actions under the sun
Cause I
Expressing a personal feeling or state
I'm not really feeling up to it
Feeling unenthusiastic or unwilling to engage in something
Patchouli on your wrists
Using patchouli on wrists, possibly for sensory experience or relaxation
I start to feel the ground again
Reconnecting with the ground, possibly a metaphor for grounding oneself
So what's the point of this
Questioning the purpose or significance of a situation
Preservation pound for pound my friend
Reflecting on the value or worthiness of preservation
I saw him
Observing someone or something
Underneath my window last night
Describing a nighttime encounter with a person
With heavy
Describing the burdens or challenges someone is carrying
Weights around his ankles so tight
Highlighting the tightness of the burdens
Patchouli on my wrists
Applying patchouli on the narrator's own wrists
I start to feel the ground again
Experiencing a similar grounding effect as mentioned in Line 6
What's the point of this
Reiterating the questioning of purpose or significance
Preservation pound for pound my friend
Revisiting the theme of preservation and its value
The water's feeling fine
Describing the water as pleasant and inviting
Warm and Safe and Kind
Emphasizing the positive qualities of the water
I sink my feet in deeper
Physically engaging with the water by sinking feet deeper
But you say stay outside
Encountering resistance or opposition to staying outside
Fragment into light
Breaking into fragments or experiencing a transformation into light
Oh find a peace and keep it
Encouraging the discovery and retention of inner peace
