Waterfall Lyrics
So now it's getting late, for those who hesitate, got no one,
But they don't understand and no one hears the sound,
It's like a waterfall, it's an illusion
Chorus:
Love is all, waterfall, love is what you are
Pulls you in, takes you down, it's a sad affair
But you know as you hold back the power there
Without the friends and lovers you could never go on living
Across the waterfall that's falling evermore down on you
Cascading through the days, and flowing on its way
That's how it has to be, just an illusion
Chorus: repeat
But they don't understand and no one hears the sound,
It's like a waterfall, it's an illusion
Love is all, waterfall, love is what you are
Pulls you in, takes you down, it's a sad affair
But you know as you hold back the power there
Without the friends and lovers you could never go on living
Cascading through the days, and flowing on its way
That's how it has to be, just an illusion

Beautiful song.
Why is a waterfall an illusion?
Could be the perceived passage of time: "falling evermore down on you" being meaningless. Or if compared to love just a subjective perception of bliss.
