River of Gold
River of Gold: Unveiling Love's Gilded Deception
Lyrics
Say you're back
Suggesting a return or acknowledgment
Say you're good
Expressing a positive state or well-being
That words can fly
Highlighting the power of words, possibly causing confusion
Misunderstood
Feeling misunderstood or misrepresented
And we can take hold of the past
Reflecting on a time when things were pleasant
When things were nice
Nostalgia for a better past
And I knew
A time when the speaker felt loved and the skies were blue
I was loved, skies were blue
Recalling shared experiences and happiness
And we shared the things that we had
Emphasizing the connection through shared possessions
But I've made the same mistakes twice
Admitting to repeating the same errors
I'm done with trying to play nice
Expressing frustration and a decision to stop being overly nice
Since you said I'm all wrong
Reacting to criticism, possibly feeling misunderstood
I'll do in a right
Committing to doing things differently
And I'll leave you to your sorrows at night
Choosing to leave the other person to deal with their own troubles
You left me down
Feeling abandoned or let down
On my knees
Being in a vulnerable position
Now it's my turn
Asserting a turn of events, possibly seeking revenge
To watch you plead
Witnessing the other person in a pleading situation
So cry me a river of gold
Requesting an emotional expression, suggesting it's valuable like gold
I'll buy you jewels
Promising material possessions as a symbolic gesture
I'll buy you greed
Offering materialistic satisfaction
The kind that fools like you believe
Criticizing a naive belief in material wealth
Can get you a better man's soul
Questioning the idea that possessions can replace a person's soul
'Cause I've made the same mistake twice
Acknowledging a repeated mistake
I'm done with trying to play nice
Deciding to stop being overly nice, learning from past errors
Since you said I'm all wrong
Reacting to criticism and expressing a desire to do things right
I'll do in a right
Committing to a better course of action
And I'll leave you to your sorrows at night
Choosing to let the other person face their own difficulties
'Cause I've made the same mistake twice
Reiterating the acknowledgment of repeated mistakes
I'm done with trying to play nice
Continuing the decision to stop being overly nice
Since you said I'm all wrong
Responding to criticism and expressing a commitment to doing things right
I'll do in a right
Reiterating the commitment to a better course of action
And I'll leave you to your sorrows at night
Choosing to let the other person face their own difficulties at night
