The Flood Lyrics

Cover art for The Flood lyrics by Katie Melua

“Broken people get recycled”…

When we get hurt, the pieces of our old Self form a new identity; from the old Self we are borne anew; this is true when there’s a sudden turning point in our life as a result of a personal loss which - just like a violent flood destroying anything in its pathway - is unexpected and shatters our inner world. The song emphasizes that just like the rain that falls, the flood is certain to come back; raining is a natural phenomena and so are the “floods” that break us to pieces in a never-ending cycle; hence, no one is to blame. It just is.
