Past the Falls
Dispatch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The wind blew and her hair stood still
He sits beneath her window sill
She awaits the magic in his hands
He walks her out into the night
And takes her in a different light
Her eyes divert to the water beneath his feet

Oh, the water beneath his feet
Oh, the water beneath his feet

Boy wakes up and runs outside
To find that all his fears have died
And all the shells are laying on the sand
She kicks a rock along that road
And stood still while the story was told

Do you believe in me he said, can you believe in me
Oh, you believe in me
Oh, you believe in me

The wind blew and her hair stood still
He sits beneath her window sill
She awaits the magic in his hands
He walks her out into the night
And takes her in a different light
Her eyes divert to the water beneath his feet

Oh, the water beneath his feet
Oh, the water beneath his feet




Oh, you believe in me
Oh, you believe in me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dispatch's song Past The Falls tell a story of two individuals in a moment of contemplation, admiring the natural beauty around them and reflecting on their relationship. The opening lyrics describe the wind blowing, and a man sitting beneath his lover's window. She is waiting for him, expecting magic in his hands, as he takes her out into the night. The couple stands by the water and the images of the scene are vividly captured in the lyrics. The woman's eyes divert to the water beneath his feet, perhaps symbolizing the depth of her love and the bond between them.


The next verse of the song switches perspective to a boy who wakes up and runs outside, only to find that his fears are gone. The shells are lying on the sand as he walks alongside a woman, who kicks a rock along the road. The story of the song builds to a climax at this point as the man asks the woman if she believes in him. The repetition of the question 'Do you believe in me?' suggests the importance of faith and trust in any relationship. The song ends as the scenes from the beginning of the song are repeated, and the woman still believes in the man despite any hardships or challenges that they may face together.


This song conveys the power of love and the importance of trust and belief in each other. The lyrics also wonderfully capture the beauty and serenity of nature.
