Down by the Riverside
Exploring Inner Turmoil: Reflections Along the Riverside
Lyrics
Monday morning, it's 2AM
Reflecting on a Monday morning at 2AM
I let him in, he'll always win
Allowing someone in, acknowledging their consistent victory
Why do I look at you, you look at me
Questioning mutual gazes and interactions
Why can't I be free?
Expressing a desire for freedom
Why don't we go somewhere alone
Desire to spend intimate time together
Down by the riverside
Symbolic location for solace or intimacy
Tuesday evening, he's back again
Repetition of allowing someone in despite the anticipated outcome
I let him in, he'll always win
Continued recognition of someone's consistent victory
Why do I look at you, you look away
Noting the dynamics of mutual gaze and avoidance
Well, you'll be gone one day
Acknowledgment of eventual departure
We went on a trip
Recollection of a journey or experience
You fell, you took a slip
Reference to a fall or mistake during the journey
Your falling, your calling
Emphasizing the impact of the fall or mistake
Haunting, yet lovely
Describing the haunting yet beautiful nature of the impact
Your falling, your calling
Reiteration of the impact and its significance
And now I go there alone
Choosing to visit the symbolic riverside location alone
Down by the riverside
Revisiting the symbolic riverside location
