This River
Navigating Life's River: Unveiling Hidden Paths and Buried Dreams
Lyrics
There's this river I've been riding
The speaker reflects on a journey represented by a river.
And it's only taken me this long
The realization of the journey's duration is belatedly acknowledged.
To see your grass is no more greener
Comparing experiences, the speaker understands that others' situations are not necessarily better.
If it's in the world, it's in the sky
Universal experiences and elements exist both on Earth and in the sky.
It's in the clouds, it's in the water
Elements like clouds and water are shared and interconnected.
That we've been drinking in, drinking in
Reflection on shared experiences, possibly hardships, consumed together.
All the days that it rained
Recollection of rainy days, potentially symbolizing difficult times.
We never saw where we were going
During challenges, there was a lack of awareness about the future.
Well the current it took us where it wanted
The flow of life led the speaker without clear control.
With each new rain, it sounded
The sound of rain served as a reminder of ongoing change.
All the signs we've been ignoring
Past indications and warnings were overlooked.
Never saw the waterfall we were heading for
Failure to notice impending danger, like a waterfall.
There's a path that you've been hiding
Discovery of a concealed path taken by someone close.
And it's only taken me this long
Realization of the concealed path's existence after a considerable time.
To see your sand is no more finer
Understanding that someone's achievements or situation are not necessarily superior.
If it's your dreams, it's buried deep
If it's related to personal aspirations, it might be deeply hidden.
It's in the secrets you've been keeping
Recognition of the hidden aspects, possibly secrets and unshared experiences.
Guess it just wasn't what I expected to find
Realization that what was found wasn't what was expected.
Was it naive to leave that all to chance
Questioning the wisdom of leaving things to chance.
We could wish for some peace
A desire for tranquility, suggesting a longing for peace.
I wanted this to last
A wish for the positive experiences to endure.
There's an anger, you've been holding
Acknowledgment of suppressed anger within someone close.
It's what's always kept you floating
Suggesting that this anger has been a source of emotional buoyancy.
There's an anger, you've been holding
Reiteration of the presence of concealed anger.
It's what's always kept you floating
Reiteration that this hidden anger has been a sustaining force.
There's this river I've been riding
Reflection on the ongoing journey along the metaphorical river.
And it's only taken me this long
Acknowledgment of the belated realization regarding the surroundings.
To see your grass is no more greener
Reiteration that others' situations are not necessarily superior.
