The song "Water" by Jason Mraz is a poetic and introspective exploration of the human mind and its relationship with the world around us. The lyrics describe the eye of the storm meeting the eye of the mind, sending it spinning in confusion and uncertainty. The mind longs for answers to life's questions, but has been haunted by fear and tears for years. The bitter water, described as satiated and covered in salt, represents the difficulties and challenges that life presents. But it also serves as a symbol of resilience and the ability to stay afloat and keep moving forward. The lyrics suggest that we are all living in a fantasy world, running our minds on low and holding nobody's hand but our own. But the protagonist of the song claims to have the ability to see through buildings, shattered lives, and the hypnotizing effect of the TV. He sees through people's illusions and recognizes that we are all connected, just like drops of rain in a larger body of water. The song concludes with the protagonist reflecting on his place in the world, on top of the water and on top of the world, looking out to see what life is all about. The ultimate message of the song seems to be about the importance of staying afloat and staying connected, even in the face of adversity and uncertainty.
