Lyrics:
Life is a waterfall
We're one in the river
And one again after the fall
We're one in the river
And one again after the fall
Swimming through the void
We hear the word
We lose ourselves
But we find it all?
We hear the word
We lose ourselves
But we find it all?
'Cause we are the ones that want to play
Always want to go
But you never want to stay
Always want to go
But you never want to stay
And we are the ones that want to choose
Always want to play
But you never want to lose
Always want to play
But you never want to lose
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind
You free your life
When you lose small mind
You free your life
Life is a waterfall
We drink from the river
Then we turn around and put up our walls
We drink from the river
Then we turn around and put up our walls
Swimming through the void
We hear the word
We lose ourselves
But we find it all?
We hear the word
We lose ourselves
But we find it all?
'Cause we are the ones that want to play
Always want to go
But you never want to stay
Always want to go
But you never want to stay
And we are the ones that want to choose
Always want to play
But you never want to lose
Always want to play
But you never want to lose
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind
You free your life
Aerials so up high
When you free your eyes
Eternal prize
When you lose small mind
You free your life
Aerials so up high
When you free your eyes
Eternal prize
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind
You free your life
Aerials so up high
When you free your eyes
Eternal prize
When you lose small mind
You free your life
Aerials so up high
When you free your eyes
Eternal prize
Interpretation:
Life is a waterfall
We're one in the river
And one again after the fall
Swimming through the void
We hear the word
We lose ourselves
But we find it all?
Life is like a waterfall and it consists of all the people whom you know and don't know.
Your life is intertwined with the life's of others in ways you know and don't know.
Small or big, rich or poor - we all have to go through life and the things it dishes out.
Looking and searching for the meaning of life through the never ending abyss, we learn
what is required of us by society while forgetting who we truly are. In hope to achieve
the greatness but once acquired we are not satisfied.
'Cause we are the ones that want to play
Always want to go
But you never want to stay
And we are the ones that want to choose
Always want to play
But you never want to lose
We seek knowledge, wealth, power but in the process we cross many lines and blur them.
Being selfish , with our ever waning humanity - we manage to find a higher goal after
achieving what is needed. We as a species always want more. Pouncing from one tornado
of lies and destruction to another just to further our agenda. We seek variety without
knowing the price of it. Seeking more than what is required has its consequences which
we do not care about the trail we leave behind which is supposed to inspire the
generations to come. Embedding in everyone the spirit of wining and thriving no matter
the terrain or situation showcases our ego-centric society.

Taking what we want always and giving nothing in return by putting up walls (literally sometimes)
will just harm each other in this journey called life in which we all are together.
