Call the Water
Journey Through Flowing Dreams
Lyrics
That creekbed calls you when you're on your own
The creekbed has a compelling allure when you are alone.
If I slept on the river would you float me home
Asking if sleeping on the river would lead to being guided back home by the water.
Masking tape and poems lying used up in our rooms
Objects like masking tape and poems scattered, representing remnants of past experiences in shared spaces.
I was blinded by the lack of light and you let me know
Feeling blinded metaphorically, possibly by a lack of understanding, and someone helped illuminate the situation.
So call the water whatever you want to
Encouraging to interpret the water in any way one desires.
Cuz every creek's a river when it bisects me and you
Highlighting the significance of every creek turning into a river when it intersects the speaker and someone else.
Call the water the name that comes to you
Suggesting to name the water according to personal perception.
Make a drainage ditch an ocean or the sea a drop of dew
Encouraging imaginative interpretations, like turning a drainage ditch into an ocean or the sea into a drop of dew.
In an instant, a moment's ancient, etched away
Describing a fleeting but ancient moment that has been etched into memory.
An a jersey bed sheet or a paper towel, yesterday
Comparing a jersey bed sheet or a paper towel to the past, possibly reflecting on the transience of experiences.
Cold feet on colder tile, an icy bed
Depicting a scene of discomfort with cold feet on a cold tile and an icy bed.
I pull open the window, I lay my head
Opening a window, perhaps seeking solace or a new perspective.
Call the water whatever you want to
Reiterating the freedom to interpret the water in any desired way.
Cuz every creek's a river that bisects me and you
Emphasizing that every creek transforms into a river, symbolizing the impact of connections between individuals.
Call the water the name that comes to you
Encouraging the listener to name the water as per personal perception and experience.
Make a drainage ditch an ocean or the sea a drop of dew
Continuing the theme of imaginative interpretation, suggesting turning a drainage ditch into an ocean or the sea into a drop of dew.
That flood of silence when you're on your own
Describing the overwhelming silence experienced when one is alone.
We'll ford the river and see the daydream through
Expressing determination to overcome challenges by fording the river and realizing daydreams.
