The Stone Roses released their second album, Second Coming, in 1994, which received mixed reviews. The group soon disbanded after several line-up changes throughout the supporting tour, which began with Reni departing in early 1995, followed by Squire in April 1996. Brown and Mani dissolved the remains of the group in October 1996 following their appearance at Reading Festival.
Following much intensified media speculation, the Stone Roses called a press conference on 18 October 2011 to announce that the band had reunited and would perform a reunion world tour in 2012, including three homecoming shows in Heaton Park, Manchester. Plans to record a third album in the future were also floated but only two singles were released. In June 2012, Chris Coghill, the writer of a new film which is set during the Stone Roses 1990 Spike Island show, revealed that the band "have at least three or four new tracks recorded". In June 2013, a documentary about the band's reformation directed by Shane Meadows and titled The Stone Roses: Made of Stone was released.
In 2016, the Stone Roses released their first new material in two decades. The band members continued to tour until June 2017, at which point cryptic remarks by Brown indicated the band had split again, which was later confirmed in a 2019 interview with Squire.

The Stone Roses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Today's the day she's sworn
To steal what she never could own
And race from this hole she calls home
Now you're at the wheel
Tell me how, how does it feel?
So good to have equalized
As the miles, they disappear
See land begin to clear
Free from the filth and the scum
This American satellites won
She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall
She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall
See the steeple pine
The hills as old as time
Soon to be put to the test
To be whipped by the winds of the west
Stands on shifting sands
The scales held in her hands
The wind it just whips her and wails
And fills up her brigantine sails
She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall
She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall
The Stone Roses' "Waterfall" can be interpreted in various ways โ it could be about the longing for freedom, the desire to escape the monotonous reality, or even a metaphor for a woman's strength and resilience. The song begins with the sound of chimes ringing on Sunday morning, setting the tone for a new beginning. The singer seems determined to take control of her life, defying the norms of society by stealing what she never could own and leaving the hole she calls home.
In the second verse, the scene changes as the singer is no longer in control, but instead, someone else is driving. The lyrics, "Tell me how, how does it feel? So good to have equalized" could mean that the singer feels liberated and equalized by letting someone else take the wheel. Perhaps, she is ready to explore new avenues, with the miles disappearing and land becoming clearer. The mention of an American satellite suggests the idea of being free from the filth and scum that she left behind.
The song takes a poetic turn in the final verse, with the mention of the steeple pine and the hills as old as time. The scales held in her hands symbolize the balance between her past and her future, while the wind fills up her sails, propelling her forward. The line "She's a waterfall" appears to be a metaphor for this unstoppable force, with the waterfall's unrelenting flow, strength, and beauty mirroring the singer's own resilience.
Line by Line Meaning
Chimes sing Sunday morn
The sound of bells is heard early on a Sunday morning
Today's the day she's sworn
The woman in the song has promised herself today's the day she will take control of her life
To steal what she never could own
She plans to take something she's never been able to obtain before
And race from this hole she calls home
She wants to leave the place she refers to as a miserable hole
Now you're at the wheel
Someone else is now in charge of the situation
Tell me how, how does it feel?
The singer wants to know how the other person is feeling
So good to have equalized
It feels great to be on equal footing
To lift up the lids of your eyes
To reveal an exciting world
As the miles they disappear
As they drive further away
See land begin to clear
They're leaving the city and entering the countryside
Free from the filth and the scum
They're happy to be away from the dirt and grime of the city
This American satellites won
They feel they've defeated their surroundings and moved on to something better
She'll carry on through it all
The woman will persist through adversity
She's a waterfall
She's an unstoppable force that will always move forward
See the steeple pine
They notice a tall church steeple made of pine trees
The hills as old as time
The hills have been around for countless years
Soon to be put to the test
The hills will be challenged by something
To be whipped by the winds of the west
The wind from the west will blow the hills and test them
Stands on shifting sands
Something is unstable and could crumble at any moment
The scales held in her hands
The woman is in charge of the situation
The wind it just whips her and waits
The wind blows and waits for her to make a move
And fills up her brigantine sails
She's being carried by good winds

Lyric waterfall
Chimes sing Sunday morn,
Today's the day she's sworn,
To steal what she never could own,
And race from this hole she calls home
Now you're at the wheel,
Tell me how, how does it feel?
So good to have equalised,
To lift up the lids of your eyes
As the miles they disappear,
See land begin to clear,
Free from the filth and the scum,
This American satellite's won
She'll carry on through it all,
She's a waterfall
She'll carry on through it all,
She's a waterfall
See the steeple pine,
The hills as old as time,
Soon to be put to the test,
To be whipped by the winds of the west
Stands on shifting sands,
The scales held in her hands,
The wind it just whips her and wails,
And fills up her brigantine sails
She'll carry on through it all,
She's a waterfall
She'll carry on through it all,
She's a waterfall
