Rivers of Fear
Rivers of Fear: A Journey Through Uncertainty
Lyrics
So, the sun came up one morning
Describing the start of a new day
On a clear September day
Setting the time frame as a clear September day
And a gentle breeze was blowing
Highlighting a gentle breeze, suggesting a calm atmosphere
Th e cold darkness away
Referencing the dispelling of darkness by morning
Th en a fi re came out of nowhere
Introducing an unexpected fire
And it burned the morning skies
Describing the fire's impact on the morning skies
And the smoke that stays forever
Noting the lingering smoke and its emotional effect
Brings tears into our eyes
Connecting the smoke to tears in our eyes
When the angels lose their wings
Raising a hypothetical situation where angels lose their wings
Will the shadows still remain
Questioning whether shadows persist without angels' wings
If I could turn it around then we would be
Expressing a desire to reverse a situation
Maybe somewhere beyond a dead end
Mentioning a challenging situation beyond a dead end
Take the rivers of fear, let them fl ow away
Advocating for letting go of fears and doubts
Let the doubt blow away in the wind
Emphasizing the importance of letting doubt dissipate in the wind
If I could turn it around
Reiterating the desire to reverse a situation
All at once the earth was shaking
Depicting a sudden and impactful event, perhaps metaphorical
Everything we've known has changed
Highlighting a significant change in everything known
As the dogs of war awaken
Introducing the idea of the awakening of conflict or war
We know just who to blame
Attributing blame for the conflict
What you call a revolution
Criticizing the transformation of revolution into a game
Has become another game
Reflecting on the lack of awareness of solutions
When you're blind to all solutions
Describing the aftermath as smoke and flames
What's left is smoke and fl ames
Expressing the consequences when passion goes astray
When our passion goes astray
Suggesting a loss of direction when passion is misplaced
Th e angels lose their way
Connecting the loss of way to angels losing their way
See, we don't know
Expressing uncertainty about the future
What tomorrow brings
Emphasizing the unknown nature of tomorrow
So, we turn the page
Metaphorically turning the page, suggesting moving forward
Back to yesterday
Reflecting on the past by going back to yesterday
And wait for a brand new day to bring
Anticipating a new day bringing love and understanding
Love and understanding
Concluding with a hopeful vision of the future
