Drag the Waters Lyrics
A smack on the wrists is the words from the mouth
of the outsiders, lawyers, police
A small price to pay for the dope and the guns
And the rape, it should all be O.K.
Your father is rich, he's the judge, he's the man,
he's the God that got your sentence reduced
But in the back of his mind, he well knows what
he'd find if he looked a little deeper in you - in you
Drag the waters some more
Like never before
Drag the waters some more
Like never before
Sweet is the slice and the lips - you're gonna have
that woman - she is your favorite lay
Promised you (swore) that no one had been there,
and she was going to keep it that way
Let it move in, you got thin, and got high, and
your money went and so did your friends
But she's by your side, and her smile cannot hide
the premonition of the !
beckoning end - the end
Drag the waters some more
Like never before
Drag the waters some more
Like never before
In with it, out with
it
Well tommy112, I think Drag the Waters refers to searching deeper, not in the literal sense of deeper in water, but looking deeper into a person. There really is no reference in the song of murdering anybody. Also there's that part "He well knows what he'd find IF he looked a little deeper in you".
Funny thing is, I used to wander why they were talking about dragging water in this song when I was younger.. :)
Also its saying "tell your sack drop and stop thriving off everyone else."
its about a celeb or similar person who is above the law cause of money or power and his luck runs out... Drag the waters refers to searching for something, in this case looking for who a person ios underneath the suface. They might not be so great. " he well knows what he'd find if he looked a little deeper in you"0
No... it's not about weed. Heh, you guys are all wrong. This is the meaning, according to Dime:
"That song is about a lifetime of dealing with people that you can't tell what they're really comin' at you for, or what their motives really are. You've got to drag the waters to get to the bottom and find out the truth."
not sure but i think its talkin about how people get stuck with labels. for example someone who does drugs is abeled as junkie and noone looks deeper to realize that they are an actual person
It's about finally flushing the floaters out of society. Phil then gives some examples of said floaters and finishes up by reinforcing the original idea of culling the herd. Oh and that solo..
I think this song is about how he hates how people take the easy way out of situations
agreed
hmm yer all probably right. but readin the lyrics it almost sound like a guy who gets away with everything adn get what he wants alot..also seems kind of selfish? im not sure. i love pantera but there ssongs are hard to understand
Great song, You guys are probably right on the meaning. Someone who has power to get theirself out of trouble, probably a rock star. And he gets into drugs, and gets in trouble and loses everything.
