I would probably love dancing to the rhythm at a party. Unfortunately I have some kind of difficulty with most (not all) op music: I can't hear more than 10% of the lyrics at best. I heard snatches: " between two times... fill my pockets full of stones.... lay me down... let the overflow... be my sun/son..." Without the written lyrics, the meaning is lost to me
How could I have known? I'm glad you told me. It is more about the idea of water and depth. And thank you also for trying to listen.
What the Water Gave Me
Florence and the Machine
Time it took us To where the water was That's what the water gave me And time goes quicker Between the two of us Oh, my love, don't forsake me Take what the water gave me
Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow Pockets full of stones
Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow
And oh, poor Atlas The world's a beast of a burden You've been holding on a long time And all this longing And the ships are left to rust That's what the water gave us
So lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow Pockets full of stones Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow
'Cause they took your loved ones But returned them in exchange for you But would you have it any other way? Would you have it any other way? You could have it any other way
'Cause she's a cruel mistress And the bargain must be made But oh, my love, don't forget me When I let the water take me
So, lay me down Let the only sound Be the over flow Pockets full of stones
Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow
Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow Pockets full of stones
Lay me down Let the only sound

Very sad - from the Greek myth of Atlas - somehow echoing some feeling in the singer-songwriter's story. Thanks for sharing those lyrics, Sharonna. :-)
Indeed. If two people are completely open about their feelings, thoughts, motives, and experiences, then there is no limit to the depth of connection and intimacy we can share. Thank you! :-)

That's a really interesting answer. Do well do we know another's ego? What their strong and weak points are? I think there are ways of speaking which are less likely to hurt egos; probably avoiding negative judgements, criticisms, and blame; using language that takes responsibility for one's own perceptions, interpretations, feelings, needs and requests. I usually think of deep as going as thoroughly as is possible into any topic - immersion. Sailors used to drop a weighted rope with knots at specified intervals to "fathom" how deep the water was. I enjoy fathoming. And then getting out the scuba gear.

Yep. I tried scuba once. There might have been something wrong with the gas or my breathing technique because I felt high as a kite afterwards. But chasing things deeply does often make me feel high.
