River
Navigating Turbulence: Yearning for Sobriety in the River of Life
Lyrics
You said you could take this
You were confident that you could handle this situation.
You said it wouldn't get ugly again
You assured that things wouldn't become difficult or messy again.
And no you can't meditate this
It's not something that can be resolved through meditation or calmness.
You wish it never began
You regret the start of this situation, wishing it never happened.
I want to be sober
The desire to be clear-headed and free from the influence of substances.
Yeah I want to be like a river
Expressing a desire to flow freely and adapt like a river.
Just let my life float through me
Wishing to let life take its natural course without resistance.
But I can't connect with a loaded gun in my hand
Struggling to find harmony or peace with a dangerous or threatening element present.
You started to worry
The other person began feeling concerned or anxious.
You bent yourself to get under the hand
They contorted themselves to fit within limitations or expectations.
And now with your shipwreck stories
Now, recounting their stories of failure or destruction.
You say you don't understand
Claiming confusion or lack of comprehension regarding the situation.
I want to be sober
Reiterating the desire to be clear-minded and free from substances.
Yeah I want to be like a river
Echoing the wish to flow through life without hindrance.
Just let my life float through me
Desiring to let life unfold naturally without interference.
But I can't connect with a loaded gun in my hand
Struggling to find harmony or peace with a dangerous or threatening element present.
