Lyrics
Comin' down to the river
Heading towards a significant point, possibly for a transformative experience.
I'm gonna eat my weight in gold
Intending to amass wealth or valuable experiences.
What a sight to see: homemade apathy
An observation of a lack of genuine emotions or feelings, possibly self-made indifference.
It's gonna leave them stones unturned
Leaving certain matters or issues unexplored or unresolved.
Flashback to the craters
Remembering past destructive events or conflicts.
Where the good men piled high
Where honorable individuals suffered or were sacrificed.
They wanted empathy
The honorable wanted understanding; instead, they received shallow generosity.
You gave 'em charity that amounted to a dime or two
Providing insignificant help or support, not meeting the true needs.
Let's start a conversation
Suggesting the initiation of a meaningful dialogue.
Step out of your bubble and eat with the dogs in the yard
Encouraging breaking away from comfort and privilege to empathize with the less fortunate.
Share every morsel or they're gonna tear you apart
Advocating for sharing resources or understanding to avoid discord.
Step out of your bubble and die with us dogs in the yard
An urging to embrace solidarity even in the face of hardship.
The subject was "change" and you came here all preaching the same
Critiquing the redundancy of advocating change without actual substance or novelty.
Comin' back to the river
Returning to a significant point, perhaps indicating a cyclical nature or revisiting past experiences.
I'm gonna eat my weight in gold
Similar to line 2, aiming to gain significant value or experiences.
I've got a soul to seek, or so I'm led to believe
Feeling a need to discover one's true self or purpose.
You gotta lay them demons down
Confronting personal or internal struggles or negative aspects.
Oh it's a sad sight to uncover
Unearthing a distressing or sorrowful scene or realization.
When the riptide drags you in
Metaphorically pulled into distressing or turbulent circumstances.
Somehow your sympathy smells like hypocrisy
Observing insincere compassion, suggesting a disparity between words and actions.
You gotta put that mirror down
Advising self-reflection and acknowledgment of one's faults.
Go find a revolution
Encouraging seeking fundamental change or a paradigm shift.
Step out of your bubble and eat with the dogs in the yard
Reiterating the call to empathize and connect with those facing hardship.
Share every morsel or they're gonna tear you apart
Warning about the consequences of withholding support or resources from those in need.
Step out of your bubble and die with us dogs in the yard
Emphasizing the unity in facing adversity, even if it leads to a difficult outcome.
The subject was "change" and you came here all preaching the same
Rebuking the repetition of empty rhetoric about change without substantial action.
Step out of your bubble and eat with the dogs in the yard
Repeated insistence on leaving one's comfort zone to empathize with the marginalized.
Share every morsel or they're gonna tear you apart
Reiterating the importance of sharing resources or understanding to avoid conflict.
Step out of your bubble and die with us dogs in the yard
Encouraging unity even if it leads to challenging circumstances or consequences.
The subject was "change" and you came here all preaching the same
Condemning the repetition of advocating change without meaningful action or progress.
