water remembering it owned this place long before you built here

means An overflow of water that covers land normally kept dry, often suddenly and destructively.

from From Old English 'flod,' meaning a flowing of water, a flood, or even the sea itself — a relative of the Dutch 'vloed' and German 'Flut.' All of these trace back to the same ancient Germanic root that also gives us 'flow,' so a flood is, at heart, just flowing taken to its overwhelming extreme.
