Planet Funk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gold bleeding from the stars
It's pouring like jewels
Pouring from the moon
From her eyes
Cascading around your feet
It wraps inside your fingers
The blinding shining sun
You feel it from the shining sun
It takes you an a journey across the stone
It's the oldest stone
You feel it damp beneath your feet
The dew on the grass it soothes your tired feet
From her eyes
Cascading around your feet
It wraps inside your fingers
You feel it from the shining sun
The blinding shining sun
You feel it from the shining sun
It takes you an a journey across the stone
You feel it damp beneath your feet
Like dew on the grass it soothes your tired feet
The lyrics of Planet Funk's The Waltz tell the story of a powerful connection between two people. The first stanza talks about someone calling their lover with "rings of gold" that are pouring out from the stars and cascading around their feet. This person feels the effects of their lover's presence in everything around them, from the shining sun to the oldest stone, to the soothing dew on the grass. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing how strong and overwhelming this connection is.
The second verse continues to emphasize the power of this connection, describing how it takes the person on a journey across the stone and how the dampness of the earth soothes their tired feet. The chorus repeats once again, emphasizing how the shining sun continues to fuel this connection and take the person on this journey. Overall, the song tells the story of a deep and meaningful connection between two people that is felt in every aspect of the natural world.
