Calling yourself a waterfall isn't about beauty or force; it's about the inevitability of the drop. The lyric treats identity as something that happens to you, a cascade of roles and memories you can't stop. There's a grim acceptance in how he wears the label, then asks "what's my name" like he's already forgotten.
The phrase "nae ileum-eun", my name is, gets hammered at the start, attached to everything from "wiseonja" (traitor) to "pyein" (sin). It's less about describing himself and more about the sheer exhaustion of carrying all those definitions. When he finally says "I got a lot of pain," it lands like a shrug after a long list, the only simple truth left in the pile.
Starting with your name as both monster and sinner leaves no room for a heroic arc. It grounds the whole song in a stained self-image before the music even builds.
The way "waterfall" switches from a noun to a self-proclamation, "I'm a waterfall", feels less like a metaphor and more like a fact he's resigned to.
