Limit to Your Love Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Felafella

I believe this song critiques the character of one who is superficial in their approach to loving others. The best example of this is in the lyric:

"Like a map with no ocean" - The map being the physical object which serves as an indicator for traversing the ocean. Without an ocean, the map remains only an item.

"Like a waterfall in slow motion" - The beauty of the waterfall is captured only in fragments. A waterfall is a reflection of the flow of nature. To slow it down is to deceive the viewer into seeing only the beauty of the water and not where it comes from.

My Interpretation
