Dripping

Eliza's song 'Dripping' delves into the intoxicating allure of a mysterious and deeply emotional connection. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a woman who embodies the love the singer has been yearning for. The phrase 'She moves with the love I'm missing' suggests that this woman possesses a kind of love that the singer has been deprived of, and her presence is almost magnetic, pulling the singer closer. The word 'dripping' metaphorically conveys the idea of this love being so abundant and palpable that it almost overflows, affecting everything around it.

The song explores themes of vulnerability and awakening. The singer questions their own willingness to let this powerful love in, as indicated by the line 'So am I willing to let her loving in?' This introspection is further deepened by the realization that the woman's eyes 'speak more than words,' suggesting a profound, non-verbal communication that reveals deep truths and emotions. The singer admits to being previously unaware of their own emotional slumber, stating 'I didn’t know I was sleeping,' which signifies a newfound awareness and emotional awakening brought about by this connection.

The imagery of rain and fire in the lyrics adds layers of sensuality and intensity to the song. 'Rain on my body, yes you can, while you’re feeding me with both hands' evokes a sense of physical and emotional nourishment, while 'You don’t even know all the fire you light' speaks to the passionate and potentially destructive power of this love. The song ultimately suggests that this connection has the potential to transform and redefine the singer's understanding of love and intimacy, as they are 'pulled close by what she’s dripping.'
