The River Rise
Contemplating Life's Currents: The River's Reflection
Lyrics
Oh the river rise
There is a significant increase in the river's level.
And it's a mile high
Metaphorically, the situation seems overwhelmingly daunting or challenging.
Is this worth tryin'
Questioning whether pursuing something is worthwhile.
Is this worth tryin'
Reiterating doubt about the endeavor's value.
Cause I could fall
Expressing vulnerability, the risk of experiencing a downfall.
Like a tear
Comparing the fall to a tear, symbolizing fragility and emotional descent.
Well there's nothing else I can do
Feeling powerless or limited in options.
When I'm not alone
Being in the company of others but still feeling isolated.
Nothings beside me
Sense of emptiness, despite the presence of others.
What one eye sees
Perception being hindered or biased, one-sided view.
The other's blind in
Implies a lack of complete understanding due to limitations.
Well I could fall
Reiterating the vulnerability and potential for a downfall.
As if I was young
Recalling a sense of youthful recklessness.
With a lifetime to think of you
Having ample time to contemplate thoughts of someone.
Fire one for losing
Associating fire with loss, perhaps failure.
And two for hiding
Linking hiding with additional consequences or penalties.
Keep river moving
Encouraging the river's flow, letting things pass by.
Movin' right by me
Accepting the movement of life's events.
I could fall
Reiterating the potential for a downfall with limited options.
And there's nothin' else I can do
Reemphasizing a sense of helplessness.
Ah the river rise
Repeating the rise of the river, indicating persistence of challenges.
And it's a mile high
Reiterating the immense scale of the challenge or situation.
Has this world turned
Questioning if the world has changed or evolved.
Has this world tried
Questioning if efforts have been made to understand or adapt to changes.
'Cause I could fall
Reiterating the vulnerability and potential for a downfall.
Like a tear
Comparing the fall to a tear once more, symbolizing fragility.
well there's nothin' else I can do
Expressing a sense of resignation or acceptance of limited options.
Up on the river rise
Repeating the persistence of the rising river.
She's a mile high
Reiterating the overwhelming scale or magnitude of the challenge.
