i think the young boy in the video is supposed to represent that the man she is in love with is immature and she can't handle it which is why she says "if i could be stronger and if you were just older"
If I could be stronger And if you were just older We might last this out longer But the task just gets harder And my face turned to red From drinking all that dead water And the again when you said That I was my mother's daughter Shaky when he comes to me Shaky but I believe Shaky and I'm on my knees There are better things for me Shaky when I came to be When they left, they left me in pieces Shaky, but I believe There are better things for me If my legs were longer They might carry us further But we waited too long And so the task just gets harder and the thoughts that come in They come on stronger and stronger And it takes all of me To just stay out of the water Shaky when he comes to me Shaky but I believe Shaky and I'm on my knees There are better things for me
+Zaida Hutchings But if other people don't start recognizing the artist, then the artist won't grow into a more successful name. I don't think it's fair to the artist for their fans to declare their music as only theirs.
I always thought they Kelly Zutrau looked like the English artist's model Fanny Cornfort, who was a key model for the brotherhood of Pre Raphaelite painters. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_Cornforth
"If I was stronger and you were older."It does take a lot of strength to be with someone who isn't your age. A lot of people judge you, including your own family, and want to keep you from them because they feel it's wrong.But it isn't about their feelings. Stay strong.
Dinosaur Oh really? Well they need more recognition then, lol. Still don't understand the name though, but I'm sure there's some kind of meaning behind it.
This song makes me feel so sad and lonely. Her voice is just so angelic and she has so much deep emotion in it!! She has such a beautiful voice!! I LOVE THIS SONG SO VERY MUCHHHHH!!
back again and still can't get away from the deep seated melancholy of this tune - the vocals make me feel like some precious soul was left behind possessed of all the happiness that could have been and you had no clue....
If I could be stronger And if you were just older We might last this out longer But the task just gets harder And my face turned to red From drinking all that dead water And the again when you said That I was my mother's daughter Shaky when he comes to me Shaky but I believe Shaky and I'm on my knees There are better things for me Shaky when I came to be When they left, they left me in pieces Shaky, but I believe There are better things for me If my legs were longer They might carry us further But we waited too long And so the task just gets harder And the thoughts that come in They come on stronger and stronger And it takes all of me To just stay out of the water Shaky when he comes to me Shaky but I believe Shaky and I'm on my knees There are better things for me Shaky when I came to be When they left, they left me in pieces Shaky, but I believe When you left, you left for a reason Ohhhh, take me to the things I see I see My eyes can reach passed all that's been laid out for me Shaky when he comes to me Shaky but I believe Shaky and I'm on my knees There are better things for me Shaky when I came to be When they left, they left me in pieces Shaky, but I believe There are better things for me
She will never know or understand what her music has done for me. It was my crutch through my lowest point as a teenager. I lost both my parents and was put into an abusive household with other family members. By the time I was 16 I died from alcohol poisoning and her song “I don’t wanna be your girl” was the last thing I listened to before I died, and then it was the first thing I heard when I woke up in a hospital. Every time I hear this one in specific, it takes me back to how suicidal I was after I lost my parents and how my plan was to drown myself in a nearby pond. I’m 24 now with a son and I haven’t been happier. It gets better. Thank you Wet ♥️
I'm currently trying to work on myself in a lot of ways, and a big part of that is liking (and playing in public) music that I love that I feel embarrassed about listening to because of social stigma. I fucking love this song. And I could give two shits right now who know it. Good on you guys.
[Verse 1] If I could be stronger And if you were just older We might last this out longer But the task just gets harder And my face turned to red From drinking all that dead water And then again when you said That I was my mother's daughter [Chorus] Shaky when he comes to me Shaky but I believe Shaky and I'm on my knees There are better things for me Shaky when I came to be When they left, they left me in pieces Shaky, but I believe There are better things for me [Verse 2] If my legs were longer They might carry us further But we waited too long And so the task just gets harder And the thoughts that come in They come on stronger and stronger And it takes all of me To just stay out of the water [Chorus] Shaky when he comes to me Shaky but I believe Shaky and I'm on my knees There are better things for me Shaky when I came to be When they left, they left me in pieces Shaky, but I believe When you left, you left for a reason [Bridge] Ohhhh, take me to the things I see I see My eyes can reach passed all that's been laid out for me [Chorus] Shaky when he comes to me Shaky but I believe Shaky and I'm on my knees There are better things for me Shaky when I came to be When they left, they left me in pieces Shaky, but I believe There are better things for me
This song came up as a recommendation on Spotify and I'm SO happy it did because it's one of my new favorite songs. The lyrics are so haunting and beautiful and it's just one of those songs that you just have to listen to on repeat for days.
This song (and video) are beautiful. Saw them on the Lollapalooza webcast today for the first time today, and I've watched this video about 15 times since. It's just wonderful.
I just discovered this band. Love all their stuff. This has been my song of the week for the past few weeks. I can't stop listening to it... It speaks to me in every way.
I always get this nice introspective and self-affirming vibes from this song, especially when you are by yourself and trying to relax. A very cool listen, especially if you are going through a rut (hence the "deadwater", go figure!). Very cool chorus too! I'm in love with this song and I hope you will appreciate it too as I do! 👌❤
Wow! This song is SO strong! I absolutely LOVE it! Wet is a TALENTED band! I've had their album Don't You on my Albums to Get List on Amazon and I've finally ordered it! Looking forward to hearing more great music from Wet!
