Waterfall
RICEWINE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pushed over until I can′t stand no more
Talking shit smoking to quit we stayed up late
'Till four fuck it I could be someone like I was before
To you
And for the first time
I′ll say that I might
Without exerting doubt
And I don't know what's considered to be right or what′s regretful
It′s hard
To say you'd risk it all
Coming down fast we don′t have to fall
Take two, reused leaves you longing more
Pushed apart turned into two she could increase your
Score I can't ever give it up though I want her more
It′s cool
And for the first time
I'll say that I might
I cannot breathe out
Without exerting doubt
And I don′t know what's considered to be right or what's regretful
It′s hard
To say you′d risk it all
I don't know what to feel am I not OK?
Maybe that′s why, that's why you′re this way
I found a girl and I don't know what to say
Maybe she won′t have to go away
I don't know what to feel am I not OK?
Maybe that's why, that′s why you′re this way
I found a girl and I don't know what to say
Maybe she don′t ever have to go away
The lyrics to RICEWINE's song "Waterfall" is a reflection of the confusion and self-doubt that one experiences when they are faced with difficult choices. The first line "Coming down fast like a waterfall" metaphorically describes the fast-paced nature of life, and how it feels overwhelming as if it's consuming the individual. The line "Pushed over until I can't stand no more" signifies the exhaustion and fatigue that the individual feels as they grapple with the difficult decision they have to make.
The lyrics "Talking shit smoking to quit we stayed up late 'till four fuck it I could be someone like I was before" shows the individual's desperation to find their way back to who they once were before the situation they're currently in. The chorus "And for the first time I'll say that I might, I cannot breathe out, Without exerting doubt" highlights the doubts and uncertainties that plague the individual's mind. "And I don't know what's considered to be right or what's regretful, It's hard to say you'd risk it all" further reinforces the conflict between what is morally right and what the individual desires.
The lines "Pushed apart turned into two she could increase your score I can't ever give it up though I want her more It's cool" reveals the person's battle between what they want and what they need to do. They're aware of what the right choice should be, but the desire for the person or thing that's not right for them is stronger. The lyrics "I don't know what to feel am I not okay? Maybe that's why, that's why you're this way, I found a girl and I don't know what to say" signifies the uncertainty and confusion the person feels regarding their emotions. The final line "Maybe she don't ever have to go away" is a plea for the person or thing they want to stay with them, even though they know it's not the right thing to do.
