The water motif is plentiful here, and its interesting to see that Brock continues that with many of his songs as well as with his latest album. So what does water signify? Probably, in accordance with his existentialist beliefs, the source of all life and the source of our lives. And it connects back with the very start where he mentions that we were all animals swimming the ocean before we came to land. The very last line hits hard because while we come from water, that's all we are made of. As significant as we are to be alive, it's equally insignificant. And that fits right into the idea of the entire album. The Moon and Antarctica is so full of existentialist meaning and interpretations of life, but it is equally insignificant bullshit in the end. This song completely reverses the cathartic ending of Life Like Weeds just like an ending to a book that punches you in the face at the very end and laughs at you for believing all the bullshit you just read. That's really what makes M&A so perfect. It creates a ethereal world view and feeling within you and throws you back into the dirty reality at the very end, leaving you stranded and reviewing what you just listened to.
