Water is all about sensuality, emotional outbursts, confusion and sexuality. Writing is my ultimate meditation and this song meant the world to me. Being a confused teenager at best, I wanted to write a song capturing the innocent confusion that is usually overlooked by the stereotypical teenage angst as well as discovering the sexual aspects to life itself. I think every teenager especially teenage women can understand this unknown we enter and I wanted to recreate this confusion using atmosphere. "wasn't ready for the pain, wasn't ready for the rain' is not only a reference to my debut single 'rain.' but I also refer to the hormonal rollercoaster none of us are prepared for. 'but it came and washed everything away' meaning the hormonal imbalance within us completely change who we become in the future. The psychedelic connotations begin with the lyrics 'but my mind it kinda swirls and spirals around till it's gone'. We all go a bit crazy sometimes. In the chorus I repeat the words 'rain ebony'. To me these two words have many meanings from crying black, deep emotions to being rained on for the purpose of deep cleanse. In verse 2 'even though I've seen the light, I still think about leaving the same beneath the water' I wrote from the perspective of our subconscious. We do see the light at the end of the tunnel however we all fall right back into the cycle of emotions. 'beneath the water' is a metaphor for the barrier between childhood and adulthood, we all have to break that barrier at some point but the question is will we be the same person? Water consists of many questions we ask ourselves during our time being a teenager and as we become adults those questions become very overwhelming. We experience emotional, sexual confusion and rough patches however this song creates a safe space to think about these questions unjudged and unharmed.
