Like A Waterfall
Solarstone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see the real reasons why
It's over my head
It seems
When clearness takes its hold
Our whole world is gonna break
It's crumbling so easily
Who really got under my skin
So if I dare to try
I'll prove to you it's not a waste
And this is not our last goodbye
Those other thrills
'Cause I've got better places to go
Than out of my head, you see
I wanna take a taste
In this old violent light's chambers
They're burning me like gasoline
But you are the only one, I need you to know
You know I'm always there
So if I dare to try, I dare to try
I'll prove to you it's not a waste
And this is not our last goodbye
When I see a rainbow bleeding out of the sun
I feel my adrenaline before it's already begun
I tried to tell you but you never listen
But it all, it all pours out of me
like a waterfall
like a waterfall
It all pours out of me
The lyrics of Solarstone's Like A Waterfall suggest the feeling of awakening, gaining clarity and perspective after being in a state of confusion or haze. The opening lines "I surface from the haze, I see the real reasons why" indicate a realization or understanding of a situation or relationship that may have been unclear or ambiguous before. The theme of tensions and fragility is woven throughout the song, as indicated by phrases like "It's over my head, it seems" and "Our whole world is gonna break, It's crumbling so easily". However, the song also conveys a sense of hopefulness and resilience, with the lyrics "If I dare to try, I'll prove to you it's not a waste, and this is not our last goodbye".
The chorus of the song centers around the idea of emotional overflow, like a waterfall pouring out of someone, representing an expression of strong feelings and emotions. In contrast to the chaotic nature of a waterfall, the lyrics offer reassurance and a sense of steadfastness, with phrases like "you are the only one, I need you to know" and "You know I'm always there".
Interpreting the song as a whole, it seems to be a story of a relationship that has gone through some turmoil or confusion, but ultimately the lyrics convey the message of hope that the relationship can be repaired and the love can be rekindled.

I surface from the haze
Emerging from a state of confusion, I gain clarity
I see the real reasons why
I understand the true causes behind my past actions
It's over my head
The situation is beyond my control
It seems
This is how it appears
When clearness takes its hold
With clarity, I realize
Our whole world is gonna break
The world we knew will come crashing down
It's crumbling so easily
Our world is fragile and can be destroyed with ease
You are the only one, I want you to know
I have strong feelings for you, and I need to express this
Who really got under my skin
You have affected me deeply
So if I dare to try
If I am brave enough to give it a shot
I'll prove to you it's not a waste
I'll demonstrate that it's worth the risk
And this is not our last goodbye
We will meet again and continue our relationship
Those other thrills
Experiences that are less meaningful
'Cause I've got better places to go
I have more important things to do
Than out of my head, you see
Rather than being lost in my thoughts
I wanna take a taste
I desire to experience
In this old violent light's chambers
In the midst of intense and overwhelming stimuli
They're burning me like gasoline
The intensity of the experience is overwhelming and all-consuming
But you are the only one, I need you to know
I am dependent on you and your affection
You know I'm always there
I am always available for you
So if I dare to try, I dare to try
If I have the courage to take action
When I see a rainbow bleeding out of the sun
An intensively emotional experience, witnessed visually
I feel my adrenaline before it's already begun
Emotional intensity that I anticipate with fear and excitement
I tried to tell you but you never listen
I attempted to share my feelings, but you never took notice
But it all, it all pours out of me
My emotions erupt uncontrollably and powerfully, like a waterfall
