Ancient like the water
Dissolves my selfish leanings and all the others
Guide me
You beside me
With conviction—my lost invention
My child is starving

[Favorite Song Lyrics: song “Ancient Water” with perfect lyrics for karaoke]

Ancient like the water
Dissolves my selfish leanings and all the others
Guide me
You beside me
With conviction—my lost invention
My child is starving

But you keep me, you keep me
I’ve been locked and you’re the key
You keep me, you keep me
You keep me ’til I’m ready to be free

Too many wasted days and nights
Obsessed with the flickering bits of my life
Forgetting what giving and living can be—what it can mean
First forgiving myself and stepping outside of my own apathy
To see, I just want to be

Patient like the forest
Stood through thousands fallen
Watched the changing evening a million times or more
Lead me to the water
Take me to the other side
And know how much it means, to me

Cuz you keep me, you keep me
I’ve been locked and you’re the key
Too many wasted days and nights
Obsessed with the flickering bits of my life
I’ve forgotten what giving and living can be—what it can mean
First steps to being better is doing the smallest things

Cuz you keep me, you keep me
You keep me I’ve been locked and you’re the key

You keep me, you keep me
You keep me ’til I’m strong enough to see
To be free

FAQ & Knowledge Song “Ancient Water”

  • ℚ. What have the artists said about the song?

    In a 2017 Belgian interview, lyricist Sam Herring explains (translation from Dutch):

    That song [Ancient Water] is autobiographical. At one point I found myself sitting in a bedroom, alone, scrolling through the feed on my social media. Suddenly I was overcome by a strong feeling of loneliness. And then I really thought to myself, why the hell don’t I go out, in the real world? Not necessary for a deep conversation, but just to take a walk in nature. As a child we let surprise us so often by the world around us, but as we get older we seem to lose that gift. Our smart phones are designed to make it easier to come into contact with each other, but in fact they do the reverse. We are increasingly estranged.
