Jumping Into Rivers
Diana Vickers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back of the scooter
I cut your waist
We rode away into the night
Were reality breaks

I look at you
And take a picture with my hands
Not much to do oh oh oh
Sit and laugh a weird place

We're on the run
We're still jumping in and
We're on the run
We're still jumping into rivers
Into rivers oh oh oh
Ho oh oh oh oh oh oh
Into rivers oh oh oh
Ho oh oh oh oh oh oh

There's no fight,
And there's no challenges with you.
Just a night,
The gray cent sunshine right on cue

Down inside,
Though we don't need anything, or need anyone or any place
Just the sun
Just the sun

We're on the run
We're still jumping in and
We're on the run
We're still jumping into rivers
Into rivers oh oh oh
Ho oh oh oh oh oh oh
Into rivers oh oh oh
Ho oh oh oh oh oh oh

Everything's changing colour
So everything seems so perfect
We wont know each other tomorrow
Then every day's been worth that
Oh oh oh

We're on the run
We're still jumping in and
We're on the run
We're still jumping into rivers
Into rivers oh oh oh
Ho oh oh oh oh oh oh
Into rivers oh oh oh
Ho oh oh oh oh oh oh





Ho oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Diana Vickers's song Jumping Into Rivers depict a carefree, youthful love that thrives in moments of spontaneity and adventure. These moments are epitomized in the first verse where the singer and her lover ride away into the night on the back of a scooter to a place where reality breaks. The use of the phrase "cut your waist" suggests a physical intimacy between the two lovers, while "not much to do" and "sit and laugh a weird place" emphasize that the experience is the only thing that matters.


The chorus "We're on the run, we're still jumping in and, we're on the run, we're still jumping into rivers" is an anthem of a love that lives in the present and is not concerned about the future. The imagery of jumping into rivers is a metaphor for taking risks and enjoying life, no matter the consequences. The second verse further reinforces this idea, as the singer states that there are no challenges or fights with her lover, just the gray sun shining, and the feeling that they do not need anything or anyone.


The song's bridge evokes a sense of fleetingness and impermanence. Everything is changing color, and the future is uncertain. However, the singer is not fearful but grateful for every day spent with her lover.


Overall, Jumping Into Rivers is a song about youthful love, spontaneity, and living in the moment. It conveys the idea that life should be enjoyed and that love should be free, unburdened by the constraints of the future.
