| Eric Whitacre – Water Night Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
The first line in the poem i believe reflects the intensity of the night because it is make a very brave and noble creature like a horse tremble. The second line shows that the darkness is sleeping and hidden and not yet revealed. The third line shows that the darkness is in YOU and it can be seen in YOUR eyes and just like the horse you fear it because there is a horse trembling in your eyes The fourth line once again shows that the darkness is secret as in "secret water." The fifth sixth and seventh lines show how the water is hidden in the shadow and is stored up in the well of your eyes and haunts your dreams or thoughts you cant control. The eighth ninth and tenth line show that the when you are alone and nobody is there to watch (silence and solitude) your true self gets strength and draws power from those dark waters and the two little animals that drink in your eyes are the silence and solitude because the little and can sneak around without being noticed by your heart which is fundamentally good. The tenth eleventh and twelfth lines show that when you release the darkness the darkness flows outward invading others and pushing others away. The thirteenth fourteenth and fifteenth lines show that if you cut off the darkness (close your eyes) a different beautiful water will "fill you from within" and wash out the other dark water. the final line my favorite because it shows that the night and the darkness "bring wetness to your soul", when something gets wet it becomes heavier and so the darkness is a heavy burden on your soul. but that is only my interpretation |
