Whitewater Lyrics

Does nobody see the flagrant sexual references?

I believe this song is about a relationship with some girl (Sunshine). The relationship is purely physical, there is little love or connection other than a physical one (her love and beauty is passing him by). He feels he is wasting his time in this relationship, spending most of it in her valley (vagina) and beneath her skies (could be a number of things).

In the second part, the self-reflection is over. The first part was maybe him thinking while he was waiting for Sunshine, she now enters the room and he turns to a description of the act. She is on top, possibly riding him in the reverse cowgirl position. He looks at her butt (mountains; this fits with the "valley" being somewhere in between them), as she moves them in ways I do not feel the need to explain. All this is causing his penis to get harder (like a growing tree). Finally he reaches a climax (it's over).

He describes this as "coming home". As he comes, he releases his whitewater spring in her valley. This is how it's supposed to be, rivers flow in valleys. It is home. He has come to terms with the facts as they stand, and now actually appreciates the beauty of such a natural thing.

It's funny how such a short song can have so much more depth than 99.9% of popular music these days. Real art is meant to be interpreted on many different levels and I love how they meld the sexuality with the sheer awesomeness of nature and life.

Skies = (sky)blue eyes

Your explanation is low on the ladder of love. It is barely even on it.

This song is what it is like to talk to God. Sex? sigh

The line “you move your own mountain” is directly referring to Christ when he said “Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.‘“

The man is passing from this fallen realm. He is going home. Home? To heaven....
