“Like Water” by Alicia Keys
Ultimately Alicia’s “Like Water” is a love song, with the title meaning to serve as an analogy of the relationship at hand. And apparently what the vocalist is speaking to is something like the malleability, if you will, of water.
Or as Alicia puts it, water is “made to survive”, even in drought-like conditions. Said drought, in this context, would be issues in her relationship with the addressee, i.e. a special person in the life of the vocalist.
Also, water is such that if you get water from two different sources and put it into one container, it all becomes one. And likewise Keys is further saying that she and the addressee, similarly, are “part of each other”.
Takeaway
Finally we have reached the conclusion of the standard (aka “Originals”) playlist of Alicia’s album “Keys”. It seems that as the playlist progressed, the songs became increasingly difficult to make comprehensive sense out of. But that said, by and large this album is composed of love songs. And it is clear that Alicia is the same type of romantic at heart as she was when her first album came out some 20 years ago.
