Lyrics

I must have asked you to build me a river,

I requested you to create an emotional depth for me, symbolized by a river.

Deep enough to cry in

The river should be deep enough for me to express and experience intense emotions, particularly sadness.

You said it must fill with your salt water spills,

You suggested that the river should be filled with your emotional pain and tears.

now my eye are blinded,

Now, my eyes are metaphorically blinded, possibly due to overwhelming emotions.

You took me aside and you said not to lie

You took me aside and advised me not to lie to those beneath us.

To the ones below ya,

I promised not to lie, but I did, and this is where I find myself now.

I said that I won't but I did anyway,

Despite my promise, I lied to the ones below us, likely causing consequences.

This is where i've gotten

The current situation is the result of my actions; this is my current state.


Drive by

A quick passage through time or memory.

Flash back

A sudden recall of past events.

Long ride

A lengthy journey back to my origins or home.

To where i'm from

Reflecting on where I come from.


There is no flag large enough to cover shame,

No symbol or action is sufficient to hide the shame of killing innocent people.

Of killing innocent people

Despite my actions, my enemies remain unafraid or unimpressed.

It seems like my enemies still not scared of me,

After demonstrating my capabilities to an enemy.

After i showed him ,

Seeking an explanation or justification for actions.


Ask why

Deep crack

To my question

Names on the wall,

Give us some time,

Before we fall

My head's under water sinking below,

Feeling overwhelmed or submerged in difficulties, possibly related to exposure.

surface of exposure,

Unable to distinguish or find a better place amidst challenges.

can't seem to separate or find no better place,

Struggling to separate from a difficult situation or emotional state.

Which now im still remaining

Despite challenges, I remain in my current state.


Leave us behind,

Reiteration of the plea to be left behind, with names memorialized on a wall.
