Everon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is you don't want me to stand in your way
Is that all that you feel right now
My Dear, I wish that you would understand
Sometimes things just go out of hand
And some things just happen somehow
For a sense of bliss you would sell all of your dreams
For a trace of love we may lose mind completely
And there is not a lot that we can do
Is there nothing that we could do...
Are we caught up in that river's flow
And for every new way that we go
Do we have to leave something behind
My Dear, it's that river that gives and that takes
So for every new turn that it makes
We lose one thing but another we find
For a shred of hope...
How many times did I wish I could just end this pain
That I could go back in time
To where it began and then start again
Well, if we could so, it would be so easy to make amends
But the river doesn't stand still
And the river just gives no second chance
Is there nothing that we could do...
The lyrics of "The River" by Everon speak of the ebb and flow of life and relationships, and the struggles that come with it. The chorus of the song asks whether we are just caught in the current of the river of life, and whether every new turn we take means leaving something behind. The verses explore the idea that sometimes things just don't work out, and that we can't always control the direction of our lives.
The first verse speaks of a lover who is asking their partner to step aside and let them go their own way. The melancholy tone suggests that the singer is aware of the pain they are causing, but feels it is necessary for their own growth. The lyrics "for a trace of love we may lose mind completely, and there is not a lot that we can do" speak to the idea that sometimes love can be all-encompassing, and that it can be difficult to make rational decisions when emotions are running high.

So what you're really trying to say
I sense that you have something important to tell me
Is you don't want me to stand in your way
You want to let me go and not block my path
Is that all that you feel right now
Is there more to what you're feeling besides this?
My Dear, I wish that you would understand
I care for you and hope you comprehend
Sometimes things just go out of hand
Occasionally, events spiral out of control
And some things just happen somehow
Certain things occur and it's hard to explain how
For a shred of hope you would follow the devil
You're desperate for any glimmer of hope, even if it's not good for you
For a sense of bliss you would sell all of your dreams
You're willing to sacrifice your aspirations for temporary happiness
For a trace of love we may lose mind completely
Love can be all-consuming and make us lose touch with reality
And there is not a lot that we can do
It may feel like we're helpless in certain situations
Are we caught up in that river's flow
Are we being carried along by life's current?
And for every new way that we go
Every decision we make creates a new path
Do we have to leave something behind
Is it necessary to let go of something in order to move on?
My Dear, it's that river that gives and that takes
Life is full of gains and losses
So for every new turn that it makes
Every change in life comes with new challenges and opportunities
We lose one thing but another we find
Even if we have to let go of something, we may discover something new in return
How many times did I wish I could just end this pain
I've been in pain and wished I could make it stop
That I could go back in time
I wish I could change the past
To where it began and then start again
To start afresh with a new beginning
Well, if we could so, it would be so easy to make amends
If only we could go back in time, it would be simple to make things right
But the river doesn't stand still
Time moves forward and waits for no one
And the river just gives no second chance
Opportunities in life may only come once
Is there nothing that we could do
Is there no action we can take to change things?
