The Fountain
Echoes of Love: The Enchanting Tale in Kate Dressed Up's 'The Fountain'
Lyrics
Remember the fountain, it's spilling like words from my mouth
Recalling a fountain, symbolizing expression, pouring out like spoken words
And you hear me, but can't figure out
Communication difficulty despite being heard
What I mean by my metaphors, or when, why, or how
Challenge in understanding metaphors and the context of expressions
We arrived at this place so far outside of town
Being in a distant place outside the familiar surroundings of town
I know you see it, just like you did
Noticing a shared experience, possibly from childhood
Out under the stars back when we were just kids
Recalling a magical moment under the stars during youth
The magic that moved us when we took a dip
The enchantment experienced during a shared dip in a fountain
In the fountain, the water put stars on your lips
Describing the transformative quality of the fountain's water
And I felt you growing with every step that I'd take
Sensing personal growth with each step, likening limbs to leaves
Your limbs were like leaves in the water that shiver and shake
Metaphor of limbs in water symbolizing vulnerability and movement
And I kissed you not knowing just how much was truly at stake
Kissing without realizing the stakes, suggesting a moment of awakening
It was as if I'd been sleeping and only then was I awake
Feeling a profound realization after a period of unawareness
It is still calling us each day and night
The fountain continues to beckon day and night
Through all the lovemaking and every fight
Symbolizing the enduring nature of connection through love and conflict
There is more than we mortals can see with our eyes
Hinting at hidden aspects beyond human perception
But the fountain will clean us and bring us new life
The fountain as a cleansing force bringing renewal
And I felt you growing with every step that I'd take
Reiteration of personal growth through shared experiences
Your limbs were like leaves in the water that shiver and shake
Repeating the imagery of limbs in water, emphasizing vulnerability
And I kissed you not knowing just how much was truly at stake
Revisiting a kiss, acknowledging the uncertainty of its consequences
It was as if I'd been sleeping and only then was I awake
Highlighting a moment of awakening after a metaphorical slumber
Remember the fountain? It's spilling like words from my mouth
Recalling the fountain again, emphasizing the overflow of expression
And you hear me, but can't figure out
Reiteration of communication difficulty despite being heard
What I mean by my metaphors, or when, why, or how
Revisiting the challenge in understanding metaphors and expressions
We arrived at this place so far outside of town
Reaffirming the journey to a distant place outside of town
