MEANING OF WATERBOURNE

VERSE:
You're suffering, I feel your pain
Allow me to be your sponge
Cause I can absorb your sorrows, I'm the one

Fire may rain down on you, but I'll be your water
Waves may crash on you, but I'll be your ground
Cause I want to heal you, just a temporary bliss

CHORUS:
Just a little bit, just a little bit
A little more information
To add to my confusion,
To add to the frustration,
I don't need it!

VERSE:
So shed your pain, while I sit in silence
As you bleed your deepest feelings, yeah
Quakes may rattle you, but I'll be your sky
Whips may twist around you, but I'll be your grass(? cries?)

CHORUS:
Just a little bit, just a little bit
A little more information
To add to my confusion
To add to the frustration,
I don't need it!
No I don't need it!

VERSE:
He woke up next to her, his head against her head
His hand upon her breast, he knew today meant death
Kissed her on the cheek, then on her lips
Thought to himself "it's the last time I'll do this"

Put on a suit, pressed and clean
Brushed his hair, grabbed his keys
Then he headed out to the morning air
With an anticipation no man could bear

The air was heavy
He could feel it in his lungs
With every step he took, a prayer rolled off his tongue
They were prayers of forgiveness, and prayers of praise
And his actions forgived for a god without a name

CHORUS:
Just a little bit, just a little bit
A little more information
To add to my confusion
To add to the frustration
I don't need it!
No I don't need it!


what do you think is the intention/meaning of it all?

Re: MEANING OF WATERBOURNE

it's part of a story about a character who seems to have some kind of destiny like a chosen one of some sort.

I always heard it as "And his actions a gift for a god without a name."

I am almost certain it is.

One Second Clubber added 11 Minutes and 59 Seconds later...

For me this album so far sounds like it's going to be some sort of story about a persons search for answers about the afterlife.

"I Don't Know" sounds like a mans confusion about the after life and what he thinks about it.

"Savior" sounds like the characters desire to learn about the after life and wanting to believe.

"Waterbourne" (unknown name) sounds like he's struggling with his acceptance or some form of recently acquired afterlife knowledge.

...but then again all of the songs really don't display any want of learning or positive attitudes towards anything. This dude seems REALLY confused and reluctant to learn anything but for some reason he has the foresight to look for the answers...

...I still can't find anything with all the new information that we've learned with our previous clues. Like "Singk"...

I like those perspectives on the songs.

Oh, and Junkstory, sorry for only making a correction to those lyrics in response to your post, and not even acknowledging anything else. The rest of it sounded really good to me, nice work. You pulled out a couple of lines I was unsure of, thanks man.

Re: MEANING OF WATERBOURNE

hey spitshine, i didn't do the lyrics, it was someone on youtube..i wouldnt be to good at figuring it out, i m german.. :-) even though i am good at english..

i agree with your change in the lyrics..sounds really more like that...

[Spitshine]

Re: MEANING OF WATERBOURNE

Ah, cool. I see it now. But thanks for the post, I am not sure I would have ever found that.

Re: MEANING OF WATERBOURNE

My theory: it's about a someone coming to terms with their imminent death.

[Junkstory]

Re: MEANING OF WATERBOURNE

yeah i like that theory, but anyone a clue about the differing lyrics of verse and lyrics??

in the verses it's like caring and loving, supportive, and the chorus is like i dont give a ****
and I DON'T NEED IT, FRUSTRATION, CONFUSION ETC....

[One Second Clubber]

Re: MEANING OF WATERBOURNE

Yeah, it's the character is definitely in a battle with coming to grips with himself or some new recently acquired knowledge...

i would say this is definite.

I like that thought... like coming to grips with learning that there is, in fact, a God... or isn't...

Re: MEANING OF WATERBOURNE

i would say this is definite.

possibly an album inspired by the movie "Stranger than Fiction" lolol. jk.


i agree with all this. This is something every human goes through at one point in their lives. Coming to grips with the fact that they will die, and whether they should become religious, or change what kind of person they are, or what they have accomplished in their lifes. I dont think its necessarily about one character in general but a general feeling that everyone has to face in their lifes. Mainly just questions about ones self, and doubts.

Re: MEANING OF WATERBOURNE

I think that we would be rewarded by including "It's Not Worth It" in this discussion. The lyrics of that song clearly reference someone being "shot down in the public square." "He tried society," etc. Either there is a much more linear storyline to this record or it will be more like a collection of songs around the theme of sacrifice or challenging conventions. But the bottom line is that at least four of these songs deal directly with death and whether or not there is meaning behind life.
