  • Regina Spektor's "Aquarius." Enjoy!!!
    Lyrics:
    Dear someone listening in the shadows
    I only talk to you sometimes
    and though I ask for help in riddles
    it is clearer in my mind
    clearer in my mind
    born of a sign that carries vessels
    but in a month that's cold as ice
    I know I question things too quickly
    but I have never questioned if I've loved
    dear someone watching from the shadows
    I'm clenching water in my fists
    the drops, they slip right through my fingers
    but there's water on my lips
    water on my lips
    born of a sign that carries vessels
    but in a month that brings just ice
    I know I question things too quickly
    but I've never wondered if I've loved
    dear someone watching from the shadows
    you've seen me lose all the water from my hands
    I'm not a skillful water carrier
    but the raindrops keep falling on my head
    falling on my head
    born of a sign that carries water
    but in a month that brings just ice
    I'm not a skillful water carrier
    but I've learned to carry love
    learned to carry love...

      When the Aquarius tries to do their job, this one realizes their not skilled at carrying water(metaphorically speaking - keeping balance in the ones we hold true or the balance of other sorts). But the one thing that this person learned to do is to carry love. So no, don't be sad - it's a way of living. To acknowledge, to learn from, and move on the way you left off before the water - before the spill.

    The fact that this was never formally released and can't be found on any of her albums or streamed on any app just kills me inside.

  • @TheRealDavlion
    @TheRealDavlion 14 років тому +3

    coming from an aquarius, the meaning of this song to me is about how we can be distant, difficult to figure out, but have trouble figuring out everyone. Maybe thats the way it's suppose to be. The song moves to 3 lines of how we feel and the line "but I have never questioned if I've loved" describing why our sign is special, cause we instinctively cherish love over all.

      We're just intrigue HAHA. We like different systems. bring'in it to our world, upgrading it to be more real and beautiful. I love Regina tho but don't know her personally. Is she open like a 1% population of all Aquarians? Is she strong, poised, polite or hateful?
      The only person I don't go along with, My BEF ( Best Enemy Forever ) is an Aquarian before me knowing he is. But I have a close friend (Aquarian) who likes listening to me, talking to me, open up to me and even we knew we're different, we respect each other's take. We always laugh (real one, like the noisy one without caring for other people hearing us, we're like dying laughing for 5 hours) and if she want's a person to go along having tea with her, I'm on the top 5 of her list for sure. It's amazing cause we're not always together or best friends, we're like just a friend, we see each other like 1 time per 2 months.

    Aww. I love this song, maybe because i can... well, everyone can... relate so well to this song.

She's saying she's not good at figuring out her emotions, but she's learnt to be in love, and has fallen as far in it as anybody ever could... Maybe its just me.

      i don't think that's the idea behind this song, Regina even said she "doesn't believe in this shit" her words not trying to be vulgar, its more about her and her experience and she went on about how the power of suggestion makes you think something fits you and she has been labelled Aquarius, so she satirically put that as the title.

    As a Pisces, I understand this all too well. I wasn't listening for the sign of Aquarius, until I felt the cusp come over me.

      William Nobilis Regina Spektor has Aquarius sun and moon in Pisces. Well Aquarius and Pisces are the most liked zodiac signs.

      My best friend is an Aquarius, and I've got Aquarius in Mars, Uranus and Neptune, a whole bunch, but I think everyone does feel like this in a moment of their lifes. I, as a Sagittarius, have heard lots of songs which woulds represent other signs and I really felt the meaning so I don't know

      Horse Radish​ it's when your birthday and sign are very near another astrology sign. Within a matter of 1-7 days. Sometimes, it can be 7-14 days. Just depends on how deep you get into Astrology really.
      I am Pisces with Aquarius tendencies.
      Hope that helped!
