River Song
Reflections on Love and Regret Along the River
Lyrics
Back to the water the capital's river
Returning to the city's river, symbolizing a journey or cycle.
Hoping on hope that he'd see you again
Expressing hope for a reunion, anticipating seeing the person again.
Place he first met you the twist of your figure
Referring to the place of the initial meeting and recalling the person's physical features.
The turn of your head just the same
Highlighting the familiarity of the person's gestures, suggesting a desire for things to remain unchanged.
Nothing's forgotten it's cold for the autumn
Emphasizing the persistence of memories, even in the coldness of autumn.
Decided to hide from the rain
Choosing to avoid unpleasant experiences, seeking shelter from the metaphorical rain.
You say you won't forgive him
Acknowledging a wrongdoing but expressing an unwillingness to forgive.
You throw your drink at him
Reacting emotionally by throwing a drink, indicating frustration or anger.
But go back to his just the same
Returning to the person despite the conflict, suggesting a complex relationship.
Your friends have all warned you, he's no good for you
Friends warning about the person's negative influence on the relationship.
The truth is we've all done the same
Admitting that everyone has made similar mistakes, creating a sense of shared experience.
You're not getting any younger
Reflecting on the passing of time and the inevitability of aging.
Soldier on for another year
Encouraging perseverance despite challenges, soldiering on for another year.
Tell yourself you're getting wiser
Attempting to convince oneself of personal growth and increased wisdom.
The truth is we've all done the same
Reiterating that mistakes are common to humanity, emphasizing shared experiences.
You're not getting any younger
Repeating the theme of aging and the passage of time.
Soldier on for another year
Encouraging resilience and persistence for another year.
Tell yourself you're getting wiser
Stressing the idea of growing wiser over time, though it may be a self-assuring narrative.
The truth is we've all done the same
Affirming the universality of making mistakes, suggesting empathy and understanding.
