Waterfall
Smoke Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I'm not holding a compass babe
I don't know how to run these games we play
Speak of something of substance they
Talk in circles they walk in purple broken promises
They promised us
White sand beaches on silver platters
Feathers and jewels and golden gate ladders
We climb to the top
Afraid of falling down
Hand in hand with no direction
You and I got no protection
Connecting the dots connecting with you
But hey! I'm not the one
That made you a waterfall
I believe in you
So hey! Put down the gun
Yeah we can do this together
We'll never lose
Speak of something of substance babe
Hate the taste when you tell me it's hard to say
I don't need you to give it all to me
Just be real let me touch it I wanna feel you
I don't need you to hand it off to me
I wanna peel and keep it all for me yeah
Hey it's me! I'm not the one I'm not the one
That made you a waterfall
I believe in you
So hey there you come on put down the gun




Yeah we can do this together
We'll never lose

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Smoke's song "Waterfall" seem to reflect on a relationship where the singer feels lost and uncertain. They express a lack of direction and understanding in the games and conversations they engage in with their partner. The use of the phrase "they talk in circles, they walk in purple broken promises" suggests that the communication is confusing and full of empty commitments from both sides.


The verses mention the promises made to them of idyllic scenarios like "white sand beaches on silver platters" and dreams of success symbolized by "feathers and jewels and golden gate ladders." However, the singer acknowledges their fear of failure and emphasizes their vulnerability in this journey as they hold hands with their partner but lack any guidance or protection.


The chorus addresses the singer's belief in the potential of their partner, expressing a desire to support and empower them. The line "I'm not the one that made you a waterfall" implies that the partner's emotional turmoil or struggles are not solely the singer's fault. They believe in their partner's ability to overcome challenges and urges them to put down the metaphorical gun, possibly representing self-destructive behaviors or negative thoughts.


In the next verse, the singer asks their partner to communicate with substance, to be genuine and allow them to truly connect and understand them. The reference to not needing their partner to give everything away, but rather to be real and let them feel and experience their emotions, suggests a longing for openness and vulnerability in the relationship.


The final repetition of the chorus reiterates the singer's belief in their partner and emphasizes the idea of unity and shared strength. It suggests that together they can face any obstacles and never lose. This could be seen as a message of hope and encouragement, emphasizing the power of their bond amidst the uncertainties they face.

The key to it working with ANY backflow cone is lining up the holes.

I’m going to go look at the thing and see about these holes being lined up. I’m hoping it’s self explanatory. If its not, can you explain more as it seems people are still wrestling with it flowing properly. I’m gonna try mine.
