| Dave Matthews Band – Don't Drink the Water Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Although it can apply to many things and symbolize many things I have to say that I always think of it as a Native American song in particular. Especially during live versions when he throws in: "This land is your land, this land is my land From California, to the New York Island From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters" near the end. I have heard this a couple times and particularly that I can recall during the live Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds show. And this song is partial to America. On another note, blood in the water is just a phrase for people being killed over something like blood diamonds. Blood on your hands. I think it the phrase "blood in the water" is the simplest way to say something much more meaningful. |

I think I am a little late to answer this one but I used to think this song was beautiful when I first had the CD several years ago. But now I can see it's real meaning to me since I am in a particular place in my mind and life. I am a beautiful girl. I have always had a great set of morals, priorities, and heart. 'Beautiful inside and out' they all say. But I have been on a quest to find satisfaction. So intensely that I started t sacrifice myself and compromise my morals for it. Once I had a taste of money and the things that came a long with it, I was hooked. It only made me hungry for more. I am not not a prostitute. I do not sell sexual favors in return for money. But I do sell the sight of myself for money. Now I find myself with more money than I imagined and lusted after by hundreds of men a day. But it's lonely at the top. The thrill of shopping is gone. All pleasures are the same. There are few things that I want that I can't have. I am starting to feel like Dorian Gray. The one line ' I wish I chose darkness from cold' is hitting home for me. I live in the light. But it's cold and empty. But I would rather feel warmth even if it is in the dark. I am now battling myself. I don't know who I am anymore and I almost hope for heartbreak and pain to break this sick cycle. I am young enough where I do not think I have wasted my life and I am trying to turn it around. But at this moment...this is how I feel. |

Note: The first part I talk about Twilight a little bit. But this is not my main intention so if you can get through the first paragraph you will see what I think it is about. I think for some of these songs they help shape the idea of how a situation might feel. Like this song is describing the whole Bella/Edward thing. And when I understand it. I read the books. When I was at this point in New Moon it was so tragic reading about Bella's loss and feeling it as well. And like I said, I believe this is a great song to enhance the emotions of what was going on. But I read this silly romance series before I ever had my heart actually break. And I think my heart broke tonight finally after much weight on it for a long time. This song means so much more now listening to it. Now I am going to use this as from a girl perspective but this song and emotions could easily apply for a guy as well. I feel like he left. You can easily see that here: All that I had was all I gon’ get All I gon get is gone with your step Now in my situation I made a mistake. I felt like there might be more out there and I left him. But now that I am out here, my mind always goes back to him, and I realize that although he is not perfect...he is perfect for me. I have this new appreciation for him. Who else will know me and love me as much as he did. So all that I had was all I was going to get. And now it's gone and I don't know if I can get that back. And for me it feels awful because I think I didn't see this until he was gone. But for anyone they can easily say that they feel everything they needed is gone because that other person is gone. And it is such a heartbreaking feeling. So tell me when you hear my heart stop, You’re the only who knows Tell me when you hear my silence There’s a possibility I wouldn’t know Hearing this makes me want to cry because it is drenched in truth. When you are so close with someone and you know them so well you can tell by the slightest hint in their expression that something is wrong it's an amazing feeling. I had this with him and I feel so completely lost without it. Who else pays attention to me like that? Who else loves me so much that they know what's best for me more than I do. I feel like right now I am so torn up but no one will notice. The only person who would be able to make me feel better is gone. The only person who I matter to is gone. It's so hard to describe the real raw emotion in this song. And I hate to use a Bella/Edward thing in this description because this is far more real than any authors characters could represent or portray but Edward had superb hearing. He could hear the literal beating of her heart. And when Bella's heart stops he would be the only one to know. But her actual heart didn't stop. It was the heart she feels emotion with. And it's just like that. When someone knows you so well that they would notice that...is gone...it's tragic. I thought describing this song would be easier than it has been. I hope that some of my ramblings make sense and are true somewhat to the actual meaning. But this is what it means for me. |
