For me, this song speaks to the fragility of human relationships, the disposability of devotion and the frail notion of forever. Having just experienced love and the pain of its loss shortly before the conception of this piece, the work comes from a place of melancholic acceptance. In my interpretation, a lake in the distance drains slowly into a empty pool where a woman alone stands, as the water level rises her fate becomes increasingly hinged on how quickly she learns how swim.
