The River
Breed 77 Lyrics

In the morning I am empty,
At the start of a new day, I feel incomplete and unfulfilled.

Of everything I used to be,
I have lost my sense of self and identity from the past.

I will ride away the feeling
I will escape my emotions and try to push them down or ignore them.

So no one will ever read,
I will conceal my true feelings from others, to avoid being vulnerable or judged.

If I had all of the answers,
If I knew the solutions to life's problems,

I could pour salt on my wounds,
I could cause myself more pain and suffering, even when things are already tough.

I could fill this room with sorrow,
I could become consumed with sadness and bring others down with me.

So no one would ever see,
I would keep it all hidden, so as not to burden anyone else with my issues.

I want to wake up and drink from your river,
I long for a sense of refreshment and vitality that can only be found in someone else's life or experiences.

I want to reach out and tear down the sky,
I want to break through any limitations or boundaries and experience something extreme and intense.

To know I'm alive,
I need to feel a strong sense of vitality and purpose in order to truly exist and thrive.

I want to learn how to feel without bleeding,
I want to be able to experience emotions and connect with others without being hurt or wounded in the process.

I want to learn how to live by your side,
I want to be close to someone that can guide me and show me how to live my life in a fulfilling way.

You're no longer mine.
The relationship or connection that was once strong and meaningful has ended, leaving a sense of loss and emptiness.

Wow, we got to swim against the tides of each other,
We must overcome obstacles and challenges in order to be together or find happiness.

Find the other side of the river, and wow
In order to reach a new level of experience or happiness, we must overcome the problems and complications that have been holding us back.

If I offered you a picture,
If I tried to share my perspective or experiences with you,

And the paint is yet to dry,
And the image is still evolving and changing,

Could you live with just a whisper,
Would you be able to accept only a small part of the whole story or experience?

A flower is meant to die,
Everything has its limited lifespan and eventually fades away or comes to an end.

And wow, we gotta swim against the tides of each other,
We need to actively work to overcome our differences and come together despite the challenges and conflicts that arise.

Find the other side of the river,
By persevering and pushing forward, we can reach a new and better place, symbolized by the other side of the river.

And wow, we gotta swim against the tides of each other,
Despite any setbacks or challenges we face, we must remain committed to overcoming our differences and finding common ground.

Find the other side of the river.
Only by coming together and reaching a new level of understanding and connection can we find true happiness and fulfillment.
