about

I Know This Is Water is a collaboration between Brian and his brother Eamonn. Written in a small apartment in Bundoran, it sings of the challenge of having self-awareness but not necessarily understanding. The challenge of knowing that contentment is happiness, yet still being restless.

lyrics

I used to have this idea that I could go and live in a lighthouse on an island and be perfectly content.
This past year has made me realise that I could actually do that, I just couldn’t do it on my own.

I feel like I’m living underwater
My life has such depth, but it’s so hard to breath
Like the driftwood in the ocean, things are breaking apart
Wish a break would take me

To the shore,
I’ve been there before
I know this is water
But I wish it were pure

I wish it were pure

I know what I know
But I wish I were sure

I’m watching the ships
As they sail close to the rocks
I’m safe in my lighthouse
Never moored, wrecked nor docked
I never take any risks for myself
I’ve got to look out for everyone else
I’ve been trying to be a beacon
But the problem with this lighthouse
Is that I’m still all at sea

Away from the shore
Can we ever be sure
I know this is water
But I wish it were pure

Pure and open
All I’m hoping
Is for something to change
Underwater
Anti-matter
It all sounds the same

I really don’t know
