Lost Rivers
Navigating Life's Gambles: 'Lost Rivers' Reflection
Lyrics
It's your life, you roll the dice
Empowerment and personal responsibility, taking risks and making choices in life.
It's your life, you roll the dice
Reiteration of the theme of personal agency and decision-making in life.
It's your life, you roll the dice
Continued emphasis on the individual's control over their own destiny.
It's your life, you roll the dice
Repeated assertion of the idea that one's life is shaped by their choices.
I may have gone overboard
Acknowledgment of excessive behavior or going too far in some aspect of life.
Trying to drag on the night
Reflecting on extending or prolonging a challenging or difficult period (night metaphor).
I should have listened
Regret over not heeding advice or warnings from someone.
Yeah, you were right
Acknowledging the correctness of someone else's perspective or insight.
I didn't want to leave you alone
Reluctance to leave someone alone, possibly expressing concern or care.
But for what it's worth
Expressing that the actions were motivated by a desire to be of value or help.
I was just looking for
The pursuit of an alternative or unconventional path, possibly for escapism.
Another way to get stoned
Suggesting a search for altered states of consciousness, possibly through substance use.
It's your life, you roll the dice
Reiteration of the central theme of personal responsibility and decision-making.
It's your life, you roll the dice
Continued emphasis on the idea that one's life is shaped by their choices.
On my way down to the river
Narrative shift to a physical journey towards a river, possibly symbolizing life's flow.
I had a passing thought:
Reflection on a passing thought during the journey, introducing a contemplative moment.
What if I never made it across
Imagining the possibility of not overcoming a challenge and losing potential experiences.
And all the beauty that awaited me was lost?
Highlighting the potential beauty or opportunities that might be missed in life.
(Go)
A prompt or encouragement to take action, possibly suggesting moving forward.
It's your life, you roll the dice
Reiteration of the theme of personal agency and decision-making in life.
It's your life, you roll the dice
Final emphasis on the idea that one's life is shaped by their choices.
