Golden River
Golden River: A Melodic Journey of Love and Inner Peace
Lyrics
So now I know
Realization of the speaker's understanding
That she is mine
Claiming possession of someone special
She is the whistle from my mouth
Metaphor for a source of joy and inspiration
when I'm all right
Expression of well-being
But i can't know
Uncertainty about the future
The effects of time
Contemplation on the unpredictable nature of time
Other then when i write,
Clarifying that understanding comes through writing
It means I'll find the rhyme
Linking writing to finding harmony or resolution
And when I do, it always lifts me
Positive impact of finding rhyme in writing
Pushes me on
Encouragement and motivation from the act of writing
And she's a golden river running through my song
Metaphor for the muse as a positive force in the speaker's creative process
She's a golden river, running through the chorus of this song
Reiteration of the muse's influence on the chorus
And When my thoughts,
Introduction of inner struggles and distractions
cloud my head.
Visual imagery of clouded thoughts
Like mud that's swirling up from a crowded river bed
Simile describing the disturbance caused by negative thoughts
Cause nightmares bade,
Reference to disturbing dreams and their impact
they play around
Comparing negative thoughts to unwelcome guests
Like Bilbo Baggins guest they know not when it's time
Reference to Bilbo Baggins, suggesting unwelcome lingering
to leave my head
Desire for intrusive thoughts to leave the mind
Then I know that she will calm me down,
Belief in the calming influence of the muse
with her smile
Highlighting the impact of the muse's smile
Cause she's a golden river, running through my mind
Reiteration of the muse's presence in the speaker's thoughts
She's a golden river running through the valleys of my mind.
Extending the metaphor to the valleys of the mind
And when I saw her at the same school as me, i hoped we would be more than friends eventually
Nostalgic reflection on a shared past with the muse
But I didn't know how hard it would be, to give up all the space I thought I needed to be free, but now I
Acknowledgment of the challenges faced in the relationship
know she makes me happy.
Realization of happiness derived from the relationship
And it feels good to have her near me,
Positive emotions associated with physical closeness
within my arms,
Expressing the comfort of holding the muse
Cause she's a golden river running through my heart
Emphasizing the muse's significance in the speaker's emotions
She's a golden river running through the chambers of my heart
Extending the metaphor to the chambers of the heart
