Waterfall (feat. P!NK & StarGate)

In 'Waterfall,' Sia, alongside P!NK and StarGate, crafts a vivid metaphor for the overwhelming and consuming nature of love. The repeated imagery of a waterfall symbolizes the powerful, uncontrollable force of emotions that come with deep affection. The lyrics convey a sense of surrender, as both artists describe being caught in the current of their partner's love, unable to resist its pull. This metaphor extends to the idea of trust and reliance, as they find solace in knowing that their partner will keep them afloat despite the chaos.

P!NK's verse introduces a sense of vulnerability and fear, likening the experience to being in a jungle, where love is both a thrilling adventure and a source of deep anxiety. The line 'Use your love, it scares me so deep down' highlights the duality of love as both a source of comfort and a cause of fear. The physical sensations described, such as the burn on the skin and the loud heartbeat, emphasize the intense, almost physical impact of love on the individuals involved.

Sia's contributions further explore the theme of losing control and the necessity of trust in a relationship. The lines 'I've lost control, I paddle, but you're too strong' and 'I gotta trust your flow' underscore the idea that love requires a leap of faith. The notion of being kept afloat by a partner suggests a deep interdependence, where one's survival and well-being are intricately tied to the other's support. This dynamic is beautifully encapsulated in the recurring chorus, where the artists repeatedly affirm their immersion in the 'waterfall' of love, signifying a complete and willing surrender to its power.
