Black River
Black River: A Haunting Tale of Love's Demise
Lyrics
There's a girl we once knew
Refers to a girl from the past
Her eyes are aqua blue
Describes the girl's eyes as aqua blue
Now there's something wrong these days
Indicates a current issue or problem
Her eyes are tombstone grey
Notes a change in the girl's eye color to tombstone grey
Friends all say to leave you alone
Friends advise to avoid the girl
Logic stays at home
Suggests that logic is not being considered
Cause the heart that's beating blue
Refers to a heart that's sad or melancholic
Was left when you go through
Implies the sadness was caused by the girl leaving
Oh, Black river runs so deep
Describes a profound emotional pain represented by a black river
Black river run through my veins
States that the black river runs through the narrator's veins
Never gonna ride you again
Expresses a decision to never engage with the emotional pain again
We walked hand in hand
Recalls a time of intimacy and connection
Thought you were my man
Believed the person was a romantic partner
Now there's something wrong these days
Highlights a current issue or problem
His eyes are tombstone grey
Notes a change in the person's eye color to tombstone grey
Oh, Black river runs so deep
Reiterates the theme of emotional pain represented by the black river
Black River runs through my veins
Reaffirms that the black river runs through the narrator's veins
Never gonna ride you again
Reiterates the decision to avoid the emotional pain
And your Father's ghost, see what he's done
Introduces the idea of the girl's father and his actions
He's left his body and possessed his son
Suggests a negative impact of the father's actions on his son
I'd tell it to your face; I'd tell it to your face
Expresses a willingness to confront the truth with force
I'd tell it with a gun, tell it with a gun
Reiterates the intention to express the truth forcefully
After what you've done, love won't come
Conveys that love won't come after the revealed actions
Uh-oh, Black River that runs so deep
Reiterates the depth of emotional pain represented by the black river
Black River run through my veins
Reaffirms that the black river runs through the narrator's veins
Never gone ride you again
Reiterates the decision to avoid the emotional pain
There's a girl who we once knew
Repeats the introduction of the girl from the past
Her eyes are icy blue
Describes the girl's eyes as icy blue
Now there's something wrong these days
Indicates a current issue or problem
Her eyes are tombstone grey
Notes a change in the girl's eye color to tombstone grey
Uh-huh, Black River run so deep
Reiterates the depth of emotional pain represented by the black river
Black river run through my veins
Reaffirms that the black river runs through the narrator's veins
Never gonna ride you again
Reiterates the decision to avoid the emotional pain
