Lyrics
She comes running down like water
She approaches energetically, resembling the flow of water
To splash around with the ones that taught her
She joins those who influenced and guided her, playing and enjoying
She's just like that farmer's daughter
Comparing her to a farmer's daughter, suggesting simplicity or rural roots
Everybody laughs at the joke
People mock or ridicule, possibly at a shared joke
And we're laughing
Laughter continues
She don't know what it means
She lacks understanding of the situation
She just knows that it's not what it seems
She senses deception or misunderstanding
Everybody knows that she's going nowhere
Recognition that she's not progressing or achieving much
Everybody always tells her how much they care
People express concern, but it might be superficial
But all they really care about is growin' their hair
Others focus on trivial matters like appearance rather than genuine care
And gettin' it cut
Reference to changing hairstyles, possibly reflecting superficial concerns
And we're laughing
Laughter persists
She don't know what it means
She remains oblivious to the deeper meaning
She just knows that it's not what it seems
Awareness of deception without understanding the specifics
She's running down much faster
Acceleration of her actions
Home base is around the corner
Heading towards a destination, possibly metaphorical
All she can hear is laughter
Surrounded by laughter, indicating a negative atmosphere
And that's all that's in store for her
Expecting more laughter in her future
Sliding downwards, you're the batter
Reference to baseball, possibly suggesting a competitive or challenging situation
That's what they say, 500 up on the ladder
An achievement of 500, perhaps denoting success or progress
She comes running down like water
Repetition of her energetic approach
She comes running down
-Everybody knows that she's going nowhere
Recognition of her lack of direction
Everybody always tells her how much they care
Superficial expressions of care from others
But all they really care about is cuttin' their hair
Focus on personal grooming rather than genuine concern
And lettin' it grow
Reference to growing hair, perhaps symbolizing personal growth
And we're laughing
Continuation of laughter
She don't know what it means
She remains unaware of the underlying meaning
She just knows that it's not what it seems
Perception of deception without clear comprehension
She's running down much faster
Acceleration of her actions
Home base is around the corner
Heading towards a destination, possibly metaphorical
All she can hear is laughter
Surrounded by laughter, indicating a negative atmosphere
And that's all that's in store for her
Expecting more laughter in her future
