The song says “Don’t go chasing waterfalls”.

What does this mean? What is being conveyed by this metaphor? Waterfalls are stationary even though the water passing over them is moving. You can’t chase a waterfall any more than you can chase a hillock or a pond.

Life is a waterfall
We’re one in the river
And one again after the fall
Swimming through the void, we hear the word
We lose ourselves, but we find it all
’Cause we are the ones that wanna play
Always wanna go, but you never wanna stay
And we are the ones that wanna choose
Always wanna play but you never wanna lose
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind, you free your life
Life is a waterfall
We drink from the river
Then we turn around and put up our walls
