It embodies one or more of the given definitions in the task. I can understand you not finding the song smooth enough, sonically that is, for a water-themed task, and that's the risk I took, but lyrically I nailed this round. At least that's my opinion.
Either way I'm OK with my score and happy to see my Tribe @ #1. I'm glad we have 4 judges.
EDIT: The last sentence sounds too shady. I don't mean it like that. I understand there are 4 completely different judges with each their own opinion. I'm just bummed because I thought I did well with this entry and I was surely not expecting a 5. So by all means, I'm not trying to attack Ethan or any other judge.. Just hope y'all can understand my side of the story.

I appreciate the feedback. I won't apologize for giving it a 5, but I can see where your frustration is coming from. I have two problems with it lyrically: 1) I don't understand it. None of it makes sense to me. 2) From what you're saying, it sounds like the song is about literal water, which is not what this round asked for. This round asked for songs that represented the element of water, meaning songs that had themes that aligned with the water element: rebirth, redemption, etc. It didn't need to (and in fact shouldn't have necessarily) been literally about water.
I respectfully disagree with you, but that's why there are four judges! You'll come back.
