Waterfall
Chasing Happiness: Unraveling the Meaning of Beach Fossils' Waterfall
Lyrics
I see you coming now
I perceive your approach
It's all a rodeo
Life is unpredictable and challenging
I'm getting tangled up in the rope
I'm getting entangled in difficulties
Don't wanna see you go
I don't want to witness your departure
You're such a waterfall
You are a significant and overwhelming presence
I'm standing in the afterglow
I'm present in the lingering warmth or emotion
Now get back up
Rise again and leave the past behind
And put it all behind
Encouragement to move forward
And you could be happy
Potential for happiness exists
Now don't look back
Do not dwell on the past
Just put it all behind
Leave it all behind without looking back
And you could be happy
Possibility of finding happiness
You're feeling out of time
Feeling that time is running out
When you can't sleep at night
Struggling to sleep at night
It's never really easy I know
Acknowledgment that life is not always easy
You tell me it's alright
Assurance that everything is okay
You say you're doing fine
Claiming to be fine
But when you're not
If not fine, where do you turn?
Then where do you go?
(Empty line)
Now get back up
Repeat of the call to overcome challenges
And put it all behind
Reiteration of leaving the past behind
And you could be happy
Potential for happiness reiterated
Now don't look back
Repeat of advice to avoid looking back
Just put it all behind
Emphasis on moving forward
And you could be happy
Restating the possibility of finding happiness
And you could be happy now
Direct statement about the potential for happiness
And you could be happy now
Repetition of the statement about happiness
And you could be happy now
Continued repetition of the happiness theme
And you could be happy now
Final repetition emphasizing the possibility of happiness
