Lyrics
Out across cities I see buildings burn into piles
Observation of destruction in cities, symbolizing chaos or upheaval.
And watch the world in wonder as mountains turn into tiles
Reflecting on the transformation of natural features into something unfamiliar and possibly unsettling.
And trees losing their leaves and faces becoming tired
Noticing nature's decline and people's fatigue, possibly indicating weariness or disillusionment.
I wish I could discover something that doesn't expire
Expressing a desire to find something enduring and timeless.
Come and stumble me
An invitation to face challenges or difficulties.
Take me river carry me far
Yearning to be carried by a river to distant places.
Lead me river like a mother
Desiring the guidance of the river, reminiscent of a nurturing mother figure.
Take me over to some other unknown
Seeking to explore unknown realms.
Pull me in the undertow
Referencing the force that pulls one beneath the water's surface, perhaps signifying challenges or uncertainties.
Such are the things that make a kingdom rumble and shatter
Describing elements that can cause a kingdom to crumble and break apart.

Highlighting the transient nature of events that might seem inconsequential on another day.
It really just depends on who's giving and who's receiving
Emphasizing the importance of perspective in giving and receiving.
And things that don't make sense are always a little deceiving.
Acknowledging the deceptive nature of things that defy logic.
Come and humble me
