Waterfall
Jane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Says, boy, are you getting old?
There's so much junk in your life
What you've got, you don't even know
Don't take a phone company
To tell you life's pay as you go
I wonder how much of life is set up in útero?
Under the waterfall, under the waterfall
Under the waterfall, it's cool and cold, and clear
Watching too much TV
I'm an actor in a puppet show
There's so much stuff in my life
No room for me to grow
One day I'm going to break from my life
Due south down to Mexico
I'm going to burn down my house
It's the only way to let it go
Under the waterfall, under the waterfall
Under the waterfall, it's cool and cold, and clear
Run your hands 'cross the flanks of a horse
Feel the pulse of blood, feel the heat and the force
It's an antidote to a life spent on the beat
That's the beat of concrete, the beat of machines
Of mobile phones and plasma screens
How much junk in my life do I really need?
Under the waterfall, under the waterfall
Under the waterfall, it's cool and cold, and clear
I'm so cynical, where I need to play?
I'm so cynical, find another way
I'm so cynical, I can't change
One drop is lonely, two drops okay
Three drops can make a spray
Four drops get carried away, dive
Under the waterfall, under the waterfall
Under the waterfall, it's cool and cold, and clear
Under the waterfall, under the waterfall
Under the waterfall, it's cool and cold, and clear
The lyrics of "Waterfall" by Jane's Addiction are a commentary on modern life and the struggle to find meaning in a world filled with distractions and material possessions. The first verse reflects the singer's frustration with the accumulation of "junk" in his life and his doubts about the meaning of it all. He wonders how much of life is predetermined and how much is within our control. He then turns to the image of a waterfall, which represents a source of clarity and purity in contrast to the confusion of his daily life.
The second verse continues this theme, with the singer feeling trapped in a "puppet show" of modern society. He dreams of breaking away to Mexico and starting anew. He feels so overwhelmed by the "stuff" in his life that he believes burning down his house is the only way to let it go. The image of the waterfall, with its cool and clear water, serves as a counterpoint to the chaos and clutter of the singer's daily life.
The final verse offers a possible solution to the singer's predicament. He suggests that connecting with nature and the natural world, symbolized by the horse in the verse, can provide an antidote to the disconnection and alienation of modern life. The repetition of the lines "I'm so cynical" and "under the waterfall, it's cool and cold, and clear" emphasizes the contrast between the singer's cynical, jaded view of the world and the purity he associates with the waterfall. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the repeated image of the waterfall offering the possibility of transcendence and escape from the complexities of modern life.

Dedico questo album a Pasquino Menegotto a David Buglass , Steve Flag , Hardy Mäkler , Nigel Packham alla mia futura compagna Angelika Borsum-Sambaké a me e ai tantissimi abitanti della mitica Brotfabrick oltre ai Jane la più gettonata formazione Rock ai Krauti di Hannover di quegli anni . La Brotfabrick ( fabbrica del pane) occupata dopo la chiusura ospitava moltissimi extracomunitari oltre ad una generazione di fricchettoni da ogni parte del globo. Ricordo bene il bagno completamente rosso dedicato a Frank Zappa , sanitari inclusi , le liane di sicurezza nella ripida scala di accesso e gli indigesti gourmet della cucina anglosassone 🤮. Alla storia il tequila party durato tre giorni per il mio congedo prematuro al servizio obbligatorio di leva militare. Mi sono ritrovato casualmente ad Hannover alla metà degli anni 80 la sera antecedente la demolizione con ca 300 persone decise di onorarne una degna fine con le fiamme dell'inferno pur di non lasciarla integra nelle sgrinfie degli speculatori La Polizei ci caricò 🤟
