Cannonball
K's Choice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's still a little bit of you laced with my doubt,
It's still a little hard to say,
What's going on.
There's still a little bit of your ghost, your witness,
There's still a little bit of your face, I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day,
Stones, taught me to fly,
Love, it taught me to lie,
Life, it taught me to die,
So it's not hard to fall,
When you float like a cannonball.
There's still a little bit of your song,in my ear,
There's still a little bit of your words,
I long to hear,
You step a little closer to me,
So close that I can't see, what's going on.
Stones, taught me to fly,
Love, it taught me to lie,
Life, it taught me to die,
So its not hard to fall,
When you float like a cannon
Stones taught me fly,
Love, it taught me to cry,
So come on courage,
Teach me to be shy,
Cause, its not hard to fall,
And I don't want to scare her,
It's not hard to fall,
And I don't want to loose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know
The lyrics of "Cannonball" by K's Choice are about the lingering affection and doubts after a relationship has ended. The singer admits that they can still taste their former lover, but they are unsure of what is happening between them, and their doubts remain. The person's presence still haunts the singer, and they long to be closer but cannot say what is holding them back. The refrain in the song, "stones taught me to fly, love taught me to die," suggests that the singer has experiences and lessons from their past relationships that have enabled them to move forward, even if they fear falling again, much like a cannonball. The song ends with the singer pleading for courage and knowledge to navigate their current situation.
The lyrics of the song are evocative and melancholic, and many people find them relatable. The slow, somber melody and the singer's emotive voice make it an emotional piece of music. The original version of the song is sung by Sarah Bettens, the lead singer and songwriter of K's Choice, and her brother Gert Bettens. It was released in 1995 and became a hit in many countries, including Belgium, France, and the Netherlands.
