Before this river became an ocean
and the water took us away
we all sat upon this shores
looking straight
looking straight out in space

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Asteroid's song, 'River' opens up by making a vivid comparison between a river and an ocean, juxtaposing the massive change that occurs when a river turns into an ocean with the feeling of being swept away by water. The image of water taking us away can be interpreted as a metaphor for the powerful forces that shape our lives and push us towards change. The next line, "we all sat upon this shores," suggests that the singer is not alone in facing the impending change, but rather situated within a community of people sharing the same experience. Looking out into space is perhaps an indicator of the overwhelming nature of the change that is about to occur, the idea that the unknown looms large and intimidating.


Overall, the lyrics hint at the inevitability of change and the fragility of human life in the grand scheme of things. It speaks to the anxiety many may feel when facing significant life changes, but it also offers a sense of solidarity, implying that this experience is part of a broader, collective human experience.
