Water Me Lyrics

Cover art for Water Me lyrics by FKA Twigs

After listening to this a couple times, I think this song is in the voice a child prostitute talking to her "client". The whole bit about her being "so small" and "growing tall when making love is free" seems to me, to mean that if she was older, it would be legal to have sex with her. It's just one of the meanings running in my head.

Interesting lyrics and sick tune!

My Interpretation

I disagree, but you made me get the lyrics in a different light. perhaps a woman who chooses to be a prostitute and now he doesn't want her because of that choice.

@mmmilda: this is what i thougt after 2times listening! The Guy who dont want to pay so much in pounds because she is so small. She tells him, she will grow when love is free - means for me - if there is a man she loves too, without getting money. She makes a joke to the men if she says - if i am to small for you, so water me, "you f..... .......!"

@mmmilda I was living in Cambodia when this song came out and the interpretation you explained seemed so obvious to me, seeing all those young babyfaced women there offering their favours to mostly old British men ???? for a better life for them and their family. Also considering the video. Most fans don't like this theory though I think. It's a sad topic and they would rather like to endulge in something they can indentify with etc
