Lazy River
Flow of Life: Reflections in the Lazy River
Lyrics
Lazy river roll on by, make me happy, make me cry.
Lazy river represents the flow of life; the singer experiences both joy and sorrow as life progresses.
Lazy rolling on so slow, take me with you as you go.
The river moves slowly, symbolizing the gradual journey of life, and the singer wishes to be part of that journey.
Slowly rolling on our way, we live to see another day.
The river's slow roll signifies the steady passage of time, and the singer expresses gratitude for another day of life.
Going back to where you came, you and I are much the same.
Returning to where the river originated, a metaphor for reflecting on one's roots and shared humanity.
And I wonder, will the sunshine last forever,
The singer wonders about the longevity of positive experiences, specifically referring to sunshine as a metaphor for happiness.
Will it always shine on you?
Questioning whether the positive aspects of life will persist indefinitely and if they will always benefit the singer.
And I wonder, is there really time for everything,
Reflecting on the availability of time and contemplating if there's enough time for everything the singer desires.
Or will it end too soon?
Raising the concern that time might run out before the singer can experience all they hope for.
Will it end too soon?
Reiterating the fear that time might be insufficient for fulfilling all desires.
Lazy river, muddy water
Describing the river as lazy and muddy, perhaps symbolizing the challenges and impurities encountered in life.
Mother Nature's silent daughter.
Referring to nature as a silent force that impacts life profoundly, akin to a mother's influence.
Leaving lifeblood as you go.
The river leaves a mark on its path, representing the lasting impact of life on individuals.
Leaving everything you know.
Highlighting the inevitability of leaving behind familiar things as life progresses.
And I wonder, should we try to go much further,
Questioning whether one should push the boundaries of life or if there is a limit to how far one should go.
Or have we gone too far?
Pondering if the journey of life has reached a point of no return, suggesting potential regrets or irreversible decisions.
And I wonder, are there really any answers,
Raising the existential question of whether definitive answers exist or if life is defined by its uncertainties.
Or are questions all there are?
Suggesting that life might be characterized more by unanswered questions than by concrete solutions.
Are questions all there are?
Reiterating the idea that life's essence lies in its unanswered questions, emphasizing the mystery and complexity of existence.
