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.

Chasing something unrealistic ?

That’s what I always thought it was.

From Google AI:

The Message: The song warns against pursuing dangerous, unrealistic, or self-destructive goals (symbolized by chasing a waterfall, which looks beautiful from afar but leads to a dangerous drop) rather than sticking to safe, familiar paths.
