River King
Memoirs of the River King: Unveiling Life's Journeys
Lyrics
Pull the wings off that
To forcibly remove the wings from the dragonfly
Dragonfly
Proceed to lay the dragonfly down and allow it to perish
Lay him down, then let him die
An act of causing the death of the dragonfly after disabling it
I can tell you anything
Expressing openness, implying a willingness to share personal truths
These are the memoirs of the river king
These lyrics narrate the life story or reflections of the River King
Oh Lord yeah
An exclamation, possibly expressing reverence or acknowledgment
When the sun sets in that western sky
Describing the sunset in the western sky
You can hear him breathe a long deep sigh
Suggesting the presence of the River King through an audible sigh at sunset
For another day has passed
Reflecting on the passing of time, another day concluded
And he did not even have to wear his mask
Implying the River King's ability to be authentic without a facade
Oh Lord now
An expression, possibly of realization or acknowledgment
Please bury me
Requesting burial by the riverbank
In the sands of the river bank
Specifically under a tree's shade near the river
Just beneath the shade tree
Expressing a desire to return to a comforting place of rest
I'm going home
Yearning to return to a familiar and cherished place
To claim the seat of a throne
To reclaim a position or status that belongs rightfully to the River King
That's rightfully my own
Asserting ownership over a throne or a significant place
Oh Lord yeah
An exclamation, possibly expressing reverence or acknowledgment
Pull the wings off of that dragonfly
Repetition of earlier lines, reiterating the act of removing the dragonfly's wings
Lay him down then let him die
Restating the subsequent action of laying down the disabled dragonfly to die
I can tell you anything
Reiteration of the willingness to share personal truths
These are the memoirs of the river king
Reiteration of the memoirs or reflections of the River King
Oh Lord now
An expression, possibly of realization or acknowledgment
Please bury me
Repetition of the request for burial by the riverbank
In the sands of the river bank
Reiterating the desire to be buried in the sands near the river
Just beneath the shade tree
Reaffirming the desire to rest under the shade of a tree by the river
I'm going home
Reiteration of the yearning to return to a familiar and cherished place
To claim the seat of a throne
Reassertion of reclaiming what rightfully belongs to the River King
That's rightfully my own
Reiterating the claim of ownership over a throne or a significant place
