where you marinate in your own water until problems feel optional and skin pruney

means a wash or soak of the whole body in water, or the tub or room where you do it

from From Old English 'bæth,' meaning a soaking or immersion in water. It descends from a Proto-Germanic root 'bathą,' which gives German 'Bad' and the Scandinavian 'bad' as cousins. The same family possibly traces back to a root meaning 'to warm,' which makes lovely sense — the original bath was likely about heat as much as water. The English city of Bath, with its Roman hot springs, takes its modern name from exactly this ordinary word.
