River Floor
Finding Redemption: Journey Through Hardship
Lyrics
Wouldn't it be nice
Expressing a desire for something positive or pleasant.
To take a trip far away next summer
Desire to embark on a journey in the upcoming summer.
Wouldn't it be nice to fly away
Expressing a longing to escape, possibly metaphorical.
Fly away
Reiteration of the desire to "fly away."
But I kind of lost myself in the darkest days
Admitting a personal struggle during difficult times.
Looking up to the sky for the world to change
Seeking change by looking towards the sky metaphorically.
Everything will be alright as long as we're okay
Believing that everything will be fine as long as one is okay.
But I never gave up on me for a minute
Affirmation of self-resilience and determination.
And I don't really trust too many people in here
Expressing a lack of trust in many people.
My heart's still broken, my eyes wide open
Acknowledging a broken heart and a sense of vulnerability.
I swear it's so hard to breathe
Describing the difficulty of breathing, possibly due to emotional distress.
But I
Introducing a personal revelation or experience.
I found myself on the river floor
Finding oneself in a challenging or low point, metaphorically represented as the "river floor."
Please God help find what I'm searching for
Seeking divine assistance or guidance in the search for something meaningful.
I need my time but you need it more
Expressing a need for personal time but recognizing others might need it more.
Can't save me
An acknowledgment that external help may not be sufficient to save the speaker.
Yeah I found myself on the river floor
Reiteration of finding oneself in a challenging situation.
Please God help find what I'm searching for
Repeating the plea for divine assistance in the search for meaning.
I need my time but you needed more
Reiterating the need for personal time with an emphasis on others needing it more.
Can't save me now
Emphasizing that external help may not be enough to save the speaker.
Don't give up
An encouragement not to give up in challenging situations.
When you're getting told that there's no place left to go
Addressing challenges and being told there's no place left to go.
Because I'm feeling down and I'm feeling low
Expressing feelings of sadness and being at a low point.
And there's no place left at home
Suggesting a lack of belonging or comfort at home.
And so I asked do I make you proud
Pondering on whether the speaker makes someone proud.
Got my own face right in my own town
Being in one's own town and contemplating self-identity.
I'm out this mask to hide this frown
Removing a metaphorical mask to reveal true emotions.
Left my old face right out my old town
Leaving the past behind, represented by the old face and old town.
But I never gave up on me for a minute
Reaffirming self-resilience and determination.
And I can never trust too many people in here
Repeating a lack of trust in many people.
My heart's still broken, my eyes wide open
Reiterating a broken heart and a heightened sense of awareness.
I swear it's so hard to breathe
Continuation of the difficulty of breathing, indicating emotional struggles.
But I
Introducing a recurring theme of personal discovery and resilience.
I found myself on the river floor
Repeating the metaphor of finding oneself on the river floor.
Please God help find what I'm searching for
Reiterating the plea for divine help in the search for meaning.
I need my time but you need it more
Expressing a need for personal time, recognizing others may need it more.
Can't save me
Emphasizing the inability of external assistance to save the speaker.
Yeah I found myself on the river floor
Reiteration of finding oneself in a challenging situation.
Please God help find what I'm searching for
Repeating the plea for divine assistance in the search for meaning.
I need my time but you needed more
Reiterating the need for personal time with an emphasis on others needing it more.
Can't save me now
Emphasizing that external help may not be enough to save the speaker.
Can't save me now
Underscoring the speaker's perception of being beyond rescue.
Can't save me
Final repetition of the belief that external help cannot save the speaker.
