When This River Rolls Over You
Rivers of Change: Unveiling Life's Currents in The Stands' Melody
Lyrics
‘Ain't it a shame babe how your words fall in an empty place
A expression of regret about how someone's words go unnoticed or unappreciated.
No one to follow or to trace
Feeling alone with no guidance or influence to follow.
No wonder you are like you do
Suggesting that the person's current state is a result of their own actions or choices.
Holding your change out you're wrapped up within all your cares
Describing a person holding out their change, possibly symbolic of seeking help, while being consumed by their worries.
The waitress is stacking the chairs
Depicting a scene where a waitress is closing a place, indicating a late or lonely hour.
And holding the notes to the tune,
Referencing a person holding musical notes, implying a connection between music and emotion.
And all your precious stones
Referring to valuable possessions or qualities that may not provide solace in difficult times.
They won't help keep you afloat
Suggesting that material possessions won't save or protect someone in challenging circumstances.
Don't say you ain't been told
Warning against ignorance or neglect of advice or information.
When this river rolls over you
Foretelling a challenging or transformative event symbolized by a river rolling over the person.
Haven't you heard babe how the speechless are storming the stage
Highlighting the impact of those who are usually silent or overlooked making a powerful statement.
Carrying the cards that you've made
Carrying tangible evidence of achievements or actions that affect the atmosphere.
And lifting the tone of the room
Emphasizing how the silent ones can change the mood or dynamics of a situation.
Ain't it the way how when the cavalier is blocking the road
Describing resistance from someone confident and disdainful, obstructing progress.
Resisting all things he's been told
Resisting advice or instructions, enticing others into a challenging situation.
And luring us out to the moon
Using the moon as a metaphor for an enticing but possibly deceptive destination or goal.
And all the seeds you've sewn
Referring to actions or decisions that will have consequences in the future.
Under this wait creek and groan
Expressing the burden and discomfort of waiting and enduring difficulties.
Don't say you ain't been told
Reiterating the importance of heeding warnings or advice.
When this river rolls over you.
Reinforcing the idea of a significant and unavoidable event symbolized by a river overwhelming the person.
