Waterbaby Lyrics
Your heart is served cold,
Your sights are set in perfect stone,
And when you go you go alone,
And when you stand you're on your own,
I wash the streets from your skin when you come home (x2)
We're nothing like friends,
You have no time to lend,
And if you're guilt then I'm the shame,
And if I'm hurt then you're the blame
You wash my trace from your skin and you leave again (x2)
Random laid plans, forty days of one night stands,
And when you go you go alone
You walk the cross you made your own
I wash the streets from your skin when you come home (x2)
Your sights are set in perfect stone,
And when you go you go alone,
And when you stand you're on your own,
You have no time to lend,
And if you're guilt then I'm the shame,
And if I'm hurt then you're the blame
And when you go you go alone
You walk the cross you made your own

what osubuckeye420 said is so true, which in turn describes my relationship with my exhusband to the "T" You're heart is served cold You're sights are set in perfect stone, And when you go you go alone, And when you stand you're on your own, this aaahole never loved me and i never loved him we just couldnt leave each other it was sick, but that is over now and i finally married by soul mate all by the age of 26!!! i love jayson for ever! We're nothing like friends, You have no time to lend, And if you're guilt then I'm the shame, And if I'm hurt then you're the blame
boy was that true about Avi, we were nothing like friends, and this guy really put me through alot of verbal and mental abuse. i did the physical abuse... ask his balls they'll tell u .......
honestly...this song has special meanings to me....the first person that introduced this song to me was my exboyfriends best friend...me and his best friend ended up being close...and the only thing that stopped us from getting together was my ex....but thats a long story..ANYWAYS...this song just always makes me think of that guy...and how much i care about him and everything like that!
well... i discovered this song all by myself! woohoo! it gives me goosebumps... whohoe,.... rly bad. but its great cuz its mystical, open and out there at the same time tho. u can drown in the music and get lost somewhere in it... as is the case with any sneaker pimps song
i like the skin thing. the idea of washing it. yeah.. i like it.
It's about a failing abusive relationship between two people, yet they just can't seem to muster the strenght to finally leave eachother...
They are both on opposite sides of the spectrum, the one side wants to be independant, yet they always end up returning home unsucessful, the other side is very dependant, yet they don't have the courage to find another person who is like them, so they settle for the asshole.
I don't know, that's what I get from the song... the lines,
We're nothing like friends, You have no time to lend, And if you're guilt then I'm the shame, And if I'm hurt then you're the blame
Really speak a lot to me, kinda shows how the one side is abusing the other, both physically and mentally, yet the other side can't seem to break off yet.
i think that an abusive relationship is possible but i think that maybe this is a song from a womans perspective about being the other woman in a affair. "you wash my trace from your skin and you leave again"
We're nothing like friends, You have no time to lend, And if you're guilt then I'm the shame, And if i'm hurt then you're the blame
just a thought.
Liam: "A slab of self loathing. Not just living the worst kind of life, but actually nurturing it, caring dor it. Complete dependance and desperate need. What is done is done - a little water clears us of this deed."
For some reason, I always felt like he was cheating on her. That's why she always washed away the streets, aka another chick. And she washed away her trace because he would just go back and forth between the two. I feel like the entire song fits...
what i get from this song is that defines a relationship I ended a few months ago...this relationship could be summed up in that phrase "40 days of one night stands", which means me and this girl had this kind of "agreement" of sticking only to sex without commitment, has long as we both felt like it...
"You're heart is served cold You're sights are set in perfect stone, And when you go you go alone, And when you stand you're on your own" the first part reflects that during the time were apart from each other, we see each other in this spectrum
"We're nothing like friends, You have no time to lend, And if you're guilt then I'm the shame, And if I'm hurt then you're the blame" now this part is tricky, since we both dont have a normal relationship, so we dont know how to feel exactly
"Random laid plans, 40 days of one night stands, And when you go you go alone You walk the cross you made your own" summing up what the relationship is like
"I wash the streets from your skin when you come home" - she feels like shes taking all my sorrows from the world, the routines of the day, etc....
"You wash my trace from your skin and you leave again" - because after sex I would leave, making my way again through the streets
This song made me see her perspective (I think) of all....this we had....kinda left me wonderin if she ever wanted a little more commitment...who knows...
He has a woman to go home to, and she is the woman on the side....she is his shame.
