Like Water
Embrace Me Like Rain: Terez Sliman's Poetic Deluge of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Like water cover me
Expressing a desire for immersion and envelopment, akin to water.
your saliva is surging , thrusting my body like a ship
Describing an intense and passionate physical connection, with saliva as a metaphor for desire.
Like rain that comes and goes
Comparing emotions to the transient nature of rain.
But its scent remains
Highlighting the lasting impact or memory of an experience.
Let me be like the rain
Expressing a wish to embody the persistent and nurturing qualities of rain.
And ill drench you like the rain
Promising to deeply affect and saturate the other person metaphorically.
wash the salt of those that have gone
Symbolically cleansing oneself from the influence of past experiences.
Grind the cliffs of madness
Metaphorically confronting and overcoming mental challenges.
Scatter the sands of my heart
Expressing a desire to overcome emotional barriers.
Crack open the shells of my eyes
Symbolizing a wish to gain deeper insight or understanding.
Like the rain
Reiterating the desire to be like rain, impacting and transforming.
Like rain that comes and goes
Repeating the transient nature of emotions like rain.
And its scent remains
Emphasizing the enduring impact or memory of emotions.
Like the shadow obscure me
Desiring to be obscured or hidden like a shadow.
My silence surging waves -your bosom my ship
Depicting silence as powerful waves, with a connection to the other person's bosom.
wash the salt of those that have gone
Continuing the theme of cleansing from past influences.
Grind the cliffs of madness
Metaphorically facing and overcoming challenges related to mental well-being.
Scatter the sands of my heart
Expressing a desire to overcome emotional challenges and vulnerabilities.
Crack open the shells of my eyes
Symbolizing a wish to gain clarity and understanding.
Like the rain
Reiterating the desire to impact and transform like rain.
Like rain that comes and goes
Repeating the transient nature of emotions using rain as a metaphor.
And its scent remains
Emphasizing the enduring impact or memory of emotions.
Let me be like the rain
Reiterating the desire to embody the persistent and nurturing qualities of rain.
And ill drench you like the rain
Promising to deeply affect and saturate the other person metaphorically.
