Florence + The Machine - What The Water Gave Me (Lyrics)
Time it took us
To where the water was
Thatās what the water gave me
And time goes quicker
Between the two of us
But 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
Youāve been holding on a long time
And all this longing
And the ships are left to rust
That's what the water gave us
[Chorus]
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 couldn't have it any other way
'Cause she's a cruel mistress
And a 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 overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
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

8 years. 8 whole freaking years, and this song still evokes more emotions than I've ever cared to feel or express in my entire life. 8 years and listening to this song still sounds and feels like the first time. Florence's music transcends and breaks all laws of time and relativity lol idc idc!
EDIT: This absolute banger still has its grip on me in 2022. STILL banging this in 2023 - Florence is FOREVER

this helped me when i was hospitalized for suicidal ideation. It wasn't exactly healthy to listen to a song about suicide when i was having those thoughts, but it still helped me transform that sadness into something more positive. It was also nice to know that I wasn't alone in this taboo romanticizing. Even now, years later, when I think of how terrified I am of death, this song helps me think through it and cope. The only way to be at peace with death is to live your life without fear. and make full use of it. Earn your eternal rest, because death halts for no one. I've loved Florence and The Machine since I was a child, and I'm still obsessed with them. They've really impacted me and my life. I wish anyone reading this a long, happy life. Know you are loved.

For anyone who may not know, this song is inspired by the English writer Virginia Woolf. She suffered from Bipolar Disorder throughout most of her life and eventually succumbed to it. She committed suicide by drowning with "pockets full of stones." This song beautifully depicts her struggle. One of Florence's best songs!

Not many songs can get inside of you and make you feel spiritual. This is one of the few.

Here she's at her most unrestrained, Dionysian element. It would be such a gem to hear her perform this live.

This song helped me get through a tough time in college in 2011. Even now as I experience increased stress, grief, and burdens the song continues to mellow me out.

She once said that as a child, she dove to the bottom of a swimming pool and, for a moment, felt like she could breathe, and she's been trying to recreate the feeling ever since.
