River
Andrew Rayel Lyrics

I’m living for the night cuz I’ve always let the darkness win
I have a tendency to embrace the darkness, and thus I live for the night.

Now I’m lying on the ground
As a result of my choices, I find myself on the ground.

and the dirt covers my skin
The dirt represents the weight of my past and my transgressions.

I know I’m lost, I know I need, something else, that will wash me clean
I am aware of my state of being and that I need something to cleanse me of my sins and wrongdoings.

All I really need, is something to believe in
To move forward, I need something to believe in as a light in the darkness.

Water washing over everything I once knew
Water is a symbol of cleansing, and it will wash away my past and my previous way of being.

Opening my eyes cuz I finally got a clear view
As a result of this cleansing, I am able to open my eyes and see my surroundings with clarity.

I’m holding on, with you I’m strong
I have found someone to hold onto for support and to give me strength.

Found a place, where I belong
I have found a sense of belonging and acceptance through my journey of cleansing and renewal.

Breathing under water I know I won’t drown with you
Although submersed in my issues and faults, as long as I have my support system I won't be overpowered by it.

River, River wash away All the pain of yesterday Till I’m weightless on the waves of holy water
The river represents a cleansing force that allows me to let go of past pain and start anew with a lighter spirit.

River, River letting go Of all the things I can’t control I surrender to the flow of holy water
Through the river's movement, I am able to let go of the things I can't control and surrender to the process of cleansing.

Wash over wash over wash over me Like holy water
The repetition of this line emphasizes the importance of the cleansing process in my life.

Like Holy Water
The phrase reiterates that the river represents a higher power, something divine and purified.

River, River wash away All the pain of yesterday Till I’m weightless on the waves Like holy water
The river continues to symbolize the cleansing process and the release of past pain, allowing me to float with ease.

River, River letting go Of all the things I can’t control I surrender to the flow Like holy water
In the river's flow, I can let go of my need for control and surrender to the greater force that guides me.
