Lyrics
Black water seventeen
Reference to a dark, mysterious body of water labeled as "seventeen."
It's shakin' everything
The water's movement is causing disturbance or turmoil.
Had lady loving dreams
Recollection of romantic dreams, possibly involving a woman.
But water disagrees
The water opposes or contradicts the dreams mentioned earlier.
Her voice is echoing
The woman's voice is resonating, possibly indicating a lasting impact.
My love is shattering
The speaker's love is breaking apart or facing challenges.
I gave her all my steam
The speaker invested a significant amount of energy and passion.
But waters taking me
The water is overwhelming and taking control of the speaker.
No matter how I plead
Despite pleading, the speaker is unable to change the situation.
I kick and shout and scream
Expressing frustration through physical actions like kicking, shouting, and screaming.
It's a love I need
Desire for a particular kind of love.
Black water disagrees
Reiteration of the conflict between the speaker and the dark water.
If down this road I roam
If the speaker travels down a certain path, there's uncertainty or a request for guidance.
Then show me where to go
Asking for direction or purpose in the journey.
My towel I throw
Surrendering or giving up, possibly in the face of adversity.
Black water's got the know
The dark water possesses knowledge or awareness.
Rise
Repetition of the word "Rise" and "Flow black water" with variations, possibly emphasizing a rising action or overcoming challenges.

-Woah black water
-This waters gaining steam
The water is gaining strength, leading to the abandonment of dreams.
Goodbye to all my dreams
Bidding farewell to aspirations due to the water's influence.
New land to help me see
The speaker anticipates discovering a new perspective or opportunity.
Bet that waters showing me
The water serves as a guide or teacher in revealing new lands.
Crashed into stone I land
An abrupt and harsh encounter with an obstacle or reality.
I spit and choke and stand
The speaker struggles and stands resilient after the impact.
A crowd of thunderous fans
A positive response from an audience, possibly metaphorical.
Yeah that waters gotten clean
The water has become purified or clear, bringing clarity.
I catch my breath and sing
Regaining composure and expressing oneself through singing.
I kick and shout and scream
Similar frustration and need for a specific element, this time, "rock."
It's rock I need
Affirmation that the dark water aligns with the speaker's need for rock.
And Black water sure agrees
Reiteration of the speaker's journey and alignment with the dark water.
On down this road I roam
Continuation of the uncertain journey and a request for guidance.
It's shown me where to go
Confirmation that the journey has provided direction or purpose.
Play rock 'n' roll
The command to play rock 'n' roll, possibly a resolution or purpose.
And Black water's got the know
Reiteration of the dark water's knowledge and guidance in the context of rock 'n' roll.
Rise
