I once dated a woman. The romance took off. It was amazing. I said or did something to offend her, and everything just fell apart. To this day I do not completely understand the situation, I attempted to discuss it with her but the dialogue was filled with circular reasoning and it made zero sense. The gap between us was impossible to bridge. When I listen to this song, it is a summation of the relationship. And frankly, a real summary of what it is like to date a narcissist. Now, this is pure speculation, but the relationships with narcissists are impossible. You can see where you need to get to, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to get them there. They rely, largely, on charm and emotional manipulation. And, this is often called "love bombing." Relationships are marked by moving ENTIRELY too fast. To me, that's what this song is about. He is falling to his knees at the curtain of the waterfall - surrendering, he wants the relationship he can so clearly see back, but he can't get to it. And, I don't think there is any irony in the intertwining of feeling love coupled with the chorus of "bombs away." |
