My Love Took Me Down to the River to Silence Me
Silenced Love: A Heartbroken Journey Down the River
Lyrics
There, there is a heart in here
Expression of the presence of a heart within.
Where, where is the heart in here
Questioning the location of the heart.
Down to the river to silence me
Heading down to the river for silence.
Love took me down to the river to silence me
Repetition of love leading the speaker to the river to bring about silence.
Love took me down to the river to silence me
-Love took me down to the river to silence me
-Love took me down to the river to silence me
-Love took me down to the river to silence me
-My love took me down to the river to silence me
Personalization of the experience, emphasizing "my love" leading to silence.
And when he left, I could not speak
Inability to speak after the departure of the loved one.
I lay on the ground, I tried to scream
Describing a state of helplessness, lying on the ground and attempting to scream.
But no sound did come out, I could only bleed blue
Expression of voicelessness and bleeding emotionally.
I waited for him til the frost did come
Waiting for the loved one until the arrival of frost, suggesting enduring pain.
My skin, it turned blue and my body was numb
Physical and emotional numbness described.
But my heart, it burned out til there was no more
Metaphorical burning out of the heart, leaving nothing.
Still I wait on the ground, I don't know what for
Continued waiting without a clear purpose.
There, there is a heart in me
Reiteration of the presence of a heart within.
Where, where is the heart in me
Questioning the location of the heart within the speaker.
This love's killing me but I want it to
Acknowledgment of the destructive nature of love but expressing a desire for it.
So long you're gone just like I always knew
Acknowledging the departure of the loved one as expected.
But I'm still here waiting for you
Continued waiting for the loved one's return.
Here, waiting for you
-My love took me down to the river to silence me
Repetition of the theme, emphasizing the impact of love on the speaker.
And when he left, I could not speak
Inability to speak after the loved one's departure reiterated.
What he said to me, I can never say
Unable to disclose what was said due to its heartbreaking nature.
Because it's breaking my heart til this very day
Long-lasting emotional impact of the spoken words.
There, there is a heart in me
Reiteration of the presence of a heart within.
Where, where is the heart in me
Questioning the location of the heart within the speaker.
This love's killing me but I want it to
Acknowledgment of the destructive nature of love but expressing a desire for it.
So long you're gone just like I always knew
Acknowledging the departure of the loved one as expected.
But I'm still here waiting for you
Continued waiting for the loved one's return.
Here, waiting for you
-Down to the river to silence me
Repetition emphasizing the impact of love leading to silence.
Love took me down to the river to silence me
-Love took me down to the river to silence me
-Love took me down to the river to silence me
-Love took me down to the river to silence me
-Love took me down to the river to silence me
-Love took me down to the river to silence me
-Love took me down to the river to silence me
-Love took me down to the river to silence me
-Love took me down to the river to silence me
-Love took me down to the river to silence me
-Love took me down to the river to silence me
-There, there is a heart in me
Reiteration of the presence of a heart within.
Where, where is the heart in me
Questioning the location of the heart within the speaker.
This love's killing me but I want it to
Acknowledgment of the destructive nature of love but expressing a desire for it.
So long you're gone just like I always knew
Acknowledging the departure of the loved one as expected.
But I'm still here waiting for you
Continued waiting for the loved one's return.
Here, waiting for you
-Here, waiting for you
-Here, waiting for you
Final repetition of the enduring wait for the loved one.
