Holy Water
Embracing Imperfections: Dive into Zippermouth's Holy Water
Lyrics
I don't want you to make me holy
The speaker doesn't want someone else to sanctify them.
I don't need you to make me clean
They don't require someone's help to be purified.
I'd rather swim in the dirty water
They prefer embracing the less pure aspects of life.
That makes me feel like me
Being amidst the 'dirty water' makes them feel authentic.
I wanna swim in your dirty water
The speaker desires to be part of the less pristine parts of the other person's life.
I wanna swim in your valley's sea
They want to immerse themselves in the depth of the other person's experiences.
That I've seen behind your eyes
The depth and complexity the other person conceals.
Every time I catch you looking at me
Each time they catch the person observing them.
I found myself in your bloody veins
The speaker feels deeply connected to the other person, almost sharing their essence.
And the smoke that lives inside of me
Similarities between their inner turmoil and the inner struggles of the other person.
In your holy water
The essence or depth of the other person symbolized as 'holy water.'
That tastes like sin to me
To the speaker, this depth feels sinful but enticing.
I don't want you to save me from
They don't want to be rescued from troubles only visible to the other person.
The demons only you seem to see
Challenges the validity of the other person's perceptions.
But don't you dare take my pride away
They refuse to lose their self-respect.
And strip me of my sanity
They won't let anyone take away their rationality.
I'm calling all of you out
Confronting everyone, pulling them into their world of unconventional behavior.
I'm pulling all of you in
Inviting others to partake in unconventional or taboo experiences.
To the party of unnatural sin
Embracing flaws and quirks that unsettle others.
And my imperfections scare you
They sense others' discomfort with their imperfections.
I can see it in your eyes
The discomfort reflected in others' gazes.
Water
A reference to 'water' again, possibly a symbol of depth or subconscious.
That burns my bastard mind
Experiencing discomfort or pain in the deep recesses of their mind.
I can love
The speaker can love deeply.
As good as one can love someone
Expressing their capability to love intensely despite imperfections.
In a perfect world as one
Their commitment to self-love before extending it to others.
I will love myself
Reiterating the importance of self-love as a foundation for loving others.
Before I will love you
Similar to line 26, prioritizing self-love before loving another.
In your holy water
Repetition of the concept of the other person's depth being likened to 'holy water.'
That tastes like sin to me
Continuing to view this depth as alluring but potentially sinful.
I can love
Reiterating the speaker's capability to love deeply.
As good as one can love someone
Expressing the depth of their love in an ideal world.
In a perfect world as one
Prioritizing self-love in an ideal world scenario.
I will love myself
Emphasizing the importance of self-love over loving others.
Before I will love you
Stating the priority of self-love before extending it to others.
