Fountain
Wither Lyrics

Water pouring, falling, raining
Water is mimicking the chaos of pouring, falling, and raining, which reflects the way life can be both beautiful and tumultuous.

Driving, diving deeper into darkness
The water is diving into the mysterious and unknown parts of life which can often be scary and full of darkness.

Scattered far like scattered thoughts
The water is representative of thoughts that scatter and dissipate quickly, evading easy capture.

In fleeting moments found and lost
Thoughts and moments can be caught for only fleeting seconds before disappearing from our grasp.

Found and lost and falling faster
Thoughts and moments come and go quickly, and the faster they go the more difficult they are to hold onto.

Fading further as they go
Like the quickly passing moments of life, the water fades away as it moves further from view.

Starry night my companion
The vast and expansive starry night is a comforting companion in the midst of the uncertainty of life.

Witness to my passing time
The starry night records the ephemeral moments of life as they quickly pass by.

Lonely now and lost to find The shores of waters In my mind
The artist is struggling with feelings of loneliness and searching for meaning in the deep and unknown reaches of their mind.

Still as sleep that's ages past Gone to eyes A present lasts
The artist's memories of the past and the present exist together in their mind, as if time itself has come to a stop.

Not to last except to pass To peaceful pastures sleeping cast To join the all of what has gone Remembered and forgot
The only constant in life is that it passes quickly, and ultimately we all join the countless others who have come before us and been forgotten.

I will fade, my fountain mind Driving up and diving down till' death What beyond? Known when I die
The artist knows that eventually they will pass on and their thoughts and memories will be no more, but what comes next is unknown and can only be discovered after death.

A million thoughts and countless breaths I have shared with countless souls And still the fountain flows We have lived as everything And everything is what we are
The singer has shared their thoughts and breaths with countless people and yet the flow of life continues, reminding them that we are all connected and the sum of our experiences makes us who we are.

I've found, discovered We resemble the signs we have made Given meaning While surrounded by that which has taken the truth away.
The singer has come to the realization that the signs and symbols we create in life are only given meaning in reference to the truth we have lost sight of.

This process In the tide Coming round Coming back now again and again Till' we experience what we trust
The cyclical process of life and tides will continue in perpetuity, but eventually we will experience and come to trust the truth that has been taken away from us.
