Cascade

Verse 1:
Passion like magnetic force
The sweetest love Ive ever had
Love just like when eagles soar
Then sweet turned to a sour patch
Pre:
I was lightning you were thunder
Not over you wanna be under
Cause baby you drive me roller coaster...
Crazy rotation, Can't take it
Dancing around it playing games oh
Simon says no Macarena
My intention is to take us back to love again

Chorus:
It's not just easy come easy go
It's a waterfall of pure emotion baby
Ooh oh
Hypnotic patterns like kaleidoscopes
Don't let your love wash away
Let our love cascade

Verse 2
Solar flares ignite our tongue
We said shit that we never meant
A trigger pulls a smoking gun
Can we reverse the damage dealt?

Pre
I was lightning you were thunder
Not over you wanna be under
Cause baby you drive me roller coaster...
Crazy rotation, Can't take it
Dancing round it playing games oh
Simon says no Macarena
My intention is to take us back to love again

Chorus:
It's not just easy come easy go
It's a waterfall of pure emotion baby
Ooh oh
Hypnotic patterns like kaleidoscopes
Don't let our love wash away
Let your love cascade


Bridge:
We're Dancin' around these emotions a waltz to a tango
Let's switch from a lemon
To sweetness of a mango
This Sweet love will always bring you back
Without you there's nothing left...for me, ooh

Break:
(Come on baby come on baby yeh





Chorus:

Overall Meaning

The song Cascade by Stokley is a story of a relationship that started with intense passion and love but eventually turned sour, leading to hurtful words being exchanged and damage being done to the relationship. The opening lines of the first verse describe the passion the singer feels towards his partner, describing it as a magnetic force that is the sweetest he has ever had. However, this love eventually turns sour, leading to hurtful words being said that were not meant. The anger between the two is further emphasized by the line "A trigger pulls a smoking gun," suggesting a sense of danger and hostility that the relationship has reached.


The pre-chorus speaks of the opposing forces that they seem to be to one another, with one being lightning and the other being thunder. Despite the tension, the singer still wants to be with their partner, admitting that they drive him crazy like a roller coaster. However, the intention is to take the relationship back to love again, as the chorus says, "Let our love cascade." The chorus speaks of the idea of love being like a waterfall of pure emotion that shouldn't be washed away. The imagery of kaleidoscopes and hypnotic patterns suggests how love can be dizzying but also beautiful.


The bridge suggests that navigating through the ups and downs of a relationship is like dancing between different emotions, but the sweetness of love will always bring them back together. The song then ends with a break where the singer encourages his partner to come back to him. Overall, Cascade is a story of how even though love can be intense and difficult at times, it's worth holding onto, and that forgiveness and a willingness to start again can heal even the most damaged of relationships.
