| | The Water Lyrics Artist(Band):Feist
The telegraph cables hung Few can decipher who the message is from And deliver it quietly 'Cause some don't get much company The harbor becomes the sea And lighting the house keeps it collision free Understand the lay of the land Don't let it hurt you Or it will be the first to The water The water didn't realize Its dangerous size The mountain The mountain came to recognize Its steep and rocky sides More than realized Pale as a pile of bones You hope for your babies and this is how they grow Wind-battered, knocked over The teeth by the shoulder Watching the gray sky that's acting like a good guy The water The water came to realize Its dangerous size The mountain The mountain came to recognize Its steep and rocky sides Came to Recognize Its steep and rocky sides More than realized If you find some error in The Water Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about The Water *grins* | Reviewer: br!anna | 11/26/09 On a long car ride once, I listened to this song, maybe eight times in a row. It's so easy to connect to, sypathizing with that water and that mountain. All of the vivid imagery in the song, and the music video is amazing, too. One of the many reasons I love Feist, that's for sure. Different Interpretation | Reviewer: Winter Rain | 12/4/08 I believe that the song is about how mankind is at the mercy of nature. The telegraph cables may be a reference to the Trans Atlantic telegraph cable attempts in the 1800s. The attempts worked, but not for very long. Her image of the sea could reinforce the idea that the sea as part of a powerful, isolating force of nature, was too strong to allow the human connection. The motive of the sea may have been jealousy over the human ability to connect, because it "doesn't get much company." The water and the mountain did not realize how dangerous they are, isolated and ostracizing. Man hopes his children will survive in this world, but nature will crush them until they are a pile of bones. Wind battered, under a grey sky, folded over like a wave. All images of nature. Water baby | Reviewer: Kieran McMillan | 11/15/07 I heard this song for the first time the night before my son Blaise was born, and it really struck me. I put together a selection of songs for my wife and I to listen to in the birthing pool during the labour. "The Water" played at the exact time our baby was born underwater and while he gave his first cry. This song will always remind me of that amazing experience, the lyrics carry so much meaning. Beautiful | Reviewer: Danielle | 9/26/07 The Water is a wonderful piece, although depressing, it keeps your attention unlike most ballads. i love it | Reviewer: maddie | 9/24/07 i love it, listening to it relaxes my whole self instantly, but i dont understand what she is trying to sing out to us in these lyrics. dosent matter though, it is now my fav song :] Review the song The Water The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
