Let us suffocate, let us awaken, let us relieved. Since there is always regret in everything, why not let go of your arms and try your best to breathe? Jer's voice finally turned into the Big Dipper, filled with hope and hope, deeply in our minds.

The light led me to look back once again

Analysis of the Lyrics of "The Shape of Water"  By Yao Qingwan【Function Words】  link

Excerpted from: [Function Words]

Instead of struggling and suffering in the Samsara(*1) , it is better to leave the Samsara(*1) and swim into the universe.

Change everything with a single thought, let go of everything in the past, and put all the past into the sea.


The world is invisible and intangible, but the world in our eyes is no different if it is the sea or the star. If you understand the troubles and dirt of reality, you can think of it as anything.

 

(*1)  Samsara (The endless cycle of birth and suffering and death and rebirth)

"The Shape of Water" is a process of self-transcendence, from being hurt and giving up oneself, to the action of realizing the source, to escape this terrifying reality, you don't need to face the world, that is, find the accompaniment in the lyrics.

The suffocation of reality is still there, and I can save this time, which time? no one knows. It is because of the oppression of reality that I am willing to drown in the sea. We are all mortals. Even if we can break this delusion, in this terrifying society, how can all the laws really be empty?

Only by awakening can you truly escape from this oppressive world and enter another realm.


In the analysis, it was mentioned that the chorus is strong, which is due to Carl Wong's effort in arranging. The background music of the first verse seems to exist or not, there is a kind of magical feeling, which is suitable for the sea, and the second verse strengthens the drum sound, creating a kind of struggle on the bottom of the sea. The chorus with a taste of hope can be heard, in addition of electric guitar, which strengthens the tension. In the last chorus, we can hear the harmony, which can match the accompaniment of the lyrics, and also brings out the initial weakness and the relaxation of later consciousness.
