Tunes By LJ - Morning Water

from SpinTunes 21 Round 3 by Spintunes

/

about

This is a meditation on water entering and exiting the body, set in the context of someone processing grief. Drinking heavily at night and crying oneself to sleep; waking up and pissing away last night's booze, the reality of life trickling back into the conscious mind, and chugging water from the sink. Morning Water and Mourning Water. I kept the lyrics pretty vague and impressionistic for this round - aiming to mostly convey vibes here, rather than a literal story.

lyrics

Morning water flow
Shaky hands that cup the falling nectar - drink it in
Feeling nourishment
Filling up the goblet to the brim

Mourning water flow
Heavy hands and heavy spirit pouring once again
Slowly let the numbness in
Filling up the goblet to the brim

That morning water flow
That mourning water flow
That morning water flow
That mourning water flow

Morning water flow
Day begins with all the little details rushing in
Stream of consciousness
And yesterday's indulgence running out

Mourning water flow
Day it ends with the all the broken pieces pushing in
Slowly losing consciousness
With pieces of the ocean running out

That morning water flow
That mourning water flow
That morning water flow
That mourning water flow
