Little River
Journey Through Shadows: Little River's Poetic Odyssey
Lyrics
Well there is something 'bout the quiet, uplifting laughter
There's something special about the peaceful, uplifting laughter.
You've just spent so many years chased by a cloud, oh
You've spent many years feeling pursued by a dark cloud.
It's taken you so far, far past the cliff's edge
That feeling has taken you far beyond safety.
And now your feet just poke around to feel the ground, oh
Now you cautiously explore to find stability.
You say "is this a joke," I float "come on now"
Questioning the situation, while someone tries to reassure.
You see there's something down below
There's something beneath the surface.
Just let me fall to be of use, make me the rainstorm
Desire to be useful or impactful, even if it means facing difficulties.
Just a piece of hail, you know
Willingness to be a small part of something bigger.
You said, "all the time it needs to take
Recognizing the necessity of time.
And all the time there is a shiver from some fallen tear
Feeling a shiver from a tear shed.
But is it on this lack of fallen luck
Questioning if it's due to unfortunate circumstances.
To dream of things like a little river to the golden ground?"
Aspiring for beautiful dreams despite hardships.
And there is something 'bout the quiet surprise in darkness
Finding surprise or beauty in unexpected places.
You just sing about your own death in your closet
Expressing personal thoughts on mortality privately.
You stumble out into the pitch-black hallway
Moving through life's uncertainties.
You think you've lost so many times though it's not war yet
Feeling like you've faced defeat numerous times.
You say "are these my eyes?"
Questioning one's own perspective or identity.
You said "come on now, already lost my sense to feel"
Admitting a loss of sensitivity or emotional connection.
But there is always someone out there who will listen
Belief that someone is willing to listen.
And then there's nothing but a dream
Transitioning into a dreamlike state.
You said, "all the time it needs to take
Recognizing the requirement of time again.
And all the time there is a shiver from some fallen tear
Feeling emotional tremors from past sorrow.
But is it on this lack of fallen luck
Questioning if luck plays a role in one's misfortunes.
To dream of things like a little river to the golden ground?"
Aspiring for beautiful dreams despite hardships (repeated).
And there is something 'bout the leaving of a lover
Reflecting on the departure of a lover.
You think you knew through all the year's you've been a woman
Realizing personal growth over time.
And he's stepping out and walks out of the garden
Seeing someone depart, leaving both beauty and pain behind.
Where all the lilies and all the weeds came from his cold hand
Recognizing the influence someone had, despite their coldness.
You say "is this my life," you said "come on now"
Questioning the state of one's own life.
You see the diamonds when you yell,
Discovering beauty amidst turmoil.
That let you stay in all the corners I have been here
Remembering moments of support or comfort in difficult times.
But now you travel, go to hell
Expressing a departure or change in perspective.
You said, "all the time it needs to take
Recognizing the requirement of time again (repeated).
And all the time there is a shiver from some fallen tear
Feeling emotional tremors from past sorrow (repeated).
But is it on this lack of fallen luck
Questioning if luck plays a role in one's misfortunes (repeated).
To dream of things like a little river to the golden ground?"
Aspiring for beautiful dreams despite hardships (repeated).
