Toadies - I Come From the Water Meaning

I Come From the Water Lyrics

I come from the water
I crawled upon the shore
I left my brothers there
I got what I came for

I sucked that hot air in
And rolled upon the sand
Emerged beneath the sun
To be a man.

I come from the water
I come from the water
That weren't no...

   Check out 15:15 on the video below. From the mouth of the songwriter, "About being brought up by a man who is extremely religious but still believes in evolution."

   Oh it's about evolution alright. But to those who believe evolution and its "theories" you might think it's about that, but evolutionists are too naive and obtuse to see the truth. Toadies in fact are mocking the ridiculous notion that man comes from evolution and if you know anything about the band listen to their other songs and what they talk about. They clearly are Christian/Catholic and know better than to believe the lies Satan has put forth in the world to try and alter and ruin Gods plan, the truth.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   This is a song about evolution, all life being on earth at one point coming from water, or a sludge of amino acids -rna-dna building blocks of life- that formed compounds over millions of years to create multi cells organisms. Earth being surrounded by water, these once single celled organisms branched off into many different paths and became an endless array of animals over the next few billion years, as the atmosphere made a temperate zone of life possible; it flourished. Some evolved spines and slowly began walking upon the land, millions of years pass. These animals travel into parts of the world unknown -the desert, so far from the water- and various other land masses. Humans evolving and growing smarter and stronger in the central parts of Africa -where everyone originates from- and the plains of the desert.
