WASH Lyrics – Jon Bellion

Meaning of ‘WASH’ Lyrics Explained

Intro Meaning:
The line is about surrendering to emotions and experiences, letting them flow freely without resistance.

Chorus Meaning:
The chorus uses water imagery to express a deep emotional and physical connection. The “river” and “wave” symbolize love, passion, and energy that completely surround and engulf the singer. The idea of “washing over” suggests being fully immersed in the presence of someone special. The “stars on the lake” looking like “a million diamonds” add a sense of beauty, magic, and wonder. The phrase “touch me twelve ways” could represent intimacy in many forms—physical, emotional, or spiritual. Overall, the chorus conveys a feeling of being overwhelmed in a good way, as if love is a force of nature that takes over completely.

Verse Meaning:
This verse brings a more spiritual and cosmic perspective to love. “Left-eye waterfall” could symbolize deep emotions, possibly referencing Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, known for her spiritual outlook. Seeing from a “third-eye point of view” suggests a deeper, almost mystical understanding of the connection. Calling the person an “oasis” and “wonderwall” means they bring comfort, safety, and inspiration. The lines about not needing a star because the person’s face is like a “full-blown universe” highlight how important and vast their presence feels. The repetition of “you fit me, fit me right” emphasizes how perfectly they connect.

Pre-Chorus Meaning:
The singer expresses gratitude and amazement for this person’s presence in their life. “Lay your grace on me” suggests feeling blessed by their love. “Hallelu’” (short for hallelujah) reflects admiration. “When she walks away, that’s my baby” hints at a deep sense of pride and affection.

Chorus Meaning:
Reiterating the theme of complete surrender to love and passion, the chorus again uses water imagery to describe how this connection feels all-consuming. It’s about being overwhelmed in the best way, allowing emotions to flow freely. The imagery of “stars on the lake” continues to paint a picture of beauty and awe, emphasizing the magical nature of this love.

Post-Chorus Meaning:
This part reinforces the idea of fully embracing love, letting go, and allowing emotions to flow without hesitation. It acts as a meditative, almost hypnotic repetition of the theme.

Bridge Meaning:
The bridge blends emotional and spiritual elements, bringing back the idea of deep understanding (“third-eye point of view”). The person is described as an “oasis,” reinforcing their role as a source of comfort and peace. The phrase “let it wash all over me” repeats, reminding the listener of the all-consuming nature of love.

Chorus Meaning (Final Repetition) Meaning:
Again, this section brings back the core message—love is like a wave or a river, something natural and powerful that the singer completely surrenders to. The beauty of the connection is emphasized with celestial imagery.

Post-Chorus Meaning (Final Repetition) Meaning:
The chant-like repetition creates a feeling of trance, as if the singer is fully lost in the moment and doesn’t want to escape this feeling of love washing over them.

Outro Meaning:
The outro brings back the mystical elements, emphasizing a deeper, almost spiritual understanding of love. The phrase “wonderwall” suggests admiration and emotional reliance on the person. The repeated “fit me, fit me” reinforces the idea of perfect connection, as if this love is meant to be.
