Re: Why Water??

["Tom Fency" <tomfency@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The water, ya know, represents the unconscious in the Psychoanalysis, 
specially Jungian Psychoanalysis. It is a rich and deep metaphor. It should 
be taken as meaning all the unknown and mysterious things hidden in 
individual and collective unconscious. Even the forbidden ones. It should be 
taken as the place of the emotional, the intuitive. The place where the 
muses live, the artist seeks for so hard as he's afraid to be lost from, 
too. The place of inspiration. In a poetic way, it is beautiful to presume 
that the sea sefuses no river, 'cause everyone contributes to the 
unconscious, at every moment, being the unconscious the sum of all its 
parts. The manner how do we feel the unconscious, by the way, that is 
particular to each one, it's what defines the individuality. On Drowned 
live, PT sings at the end "I wanna drown in sweet sweet love, I wanna drown 
in sweet sweet love", symbolizing that for him water represents, or should 
represent, love. Like the wish to lose from yourself (to drown) to find, in 
the hidden and mysterious deep water, love, the reason lo live and die for.

Sorry for the speculation,

Tom
