Waterfall
DeLange Ilse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a crying cloud of rain
Beneath the touch of softer skin
Feel my ocean origin
And the white and blue the empty sky
Painted in my eyes
Black, the night will always be
The gift of love it almost shines
Words from hearts that almost rhyme
Like holding heaven in your hand
Another world, the grain of sand
The earth under my feet
Floating weightless, lifting me
And you are what I'll be
And you are where I'll be
My fortune's in between the lines
It guides me through all time
So all I do is float with you
Cause you are where I'll be
The gift of love it almost shines
Words from hearts that almost rhyme
Like holding heaven in your hand
Another world, the grain of sand
The earth under my feet
Floating weightless, lifting me
And you are what I'll be
And you are where I'll be
Beyond gravity, weightless me
Endlessly
The gift of love it almost shines
Words from hearts that almost rhyme
Like holding heaven in your hand
Another world, the grain of sand
The earth under my feet
Floating weightless, lifting me
And you are what I'll be
And you are what I'll be
And you are where I'll be
The lyrics to DeLange Ilse's song Waterfall seem to speak about the transformative and transcendental power of love. The singer narrates their sensation of being caught up in a waterfall, as a "crying cloud of rain". This simile builds a metaphorical allusion between the singer's tears and raindrops, which cascade down through the waterfall. Within this metaphorical space, the singer feels an intimate connection with their lover, whom they describe as having "softer skin". Through this physical contact, the singer feels in touch with their own "ocean origin", which could denote a sense of returning to their elemental self, their fundamental being.
