River
Hawkshaw Kirsty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To your destination
Catch my gaze
Distort my reflection
Paint my eyes
In waves of protection
I get bored of flowing
In straight lines
Gotta keep on moving
Keep clearing the way
The clouds that swell
When we drop like stones
Deep down. deep down
Upstream
Is the only life I know
And if I let go
Is it true tell me
There's a place tell me
Where all rivers interflow?
I get bored of flowing
In straight lines
Tired of seeing the same signs
Gotta keep on moving
Keep clearing the way
The clouds that swell
When we drop like stones
Deep down. deep down
The lyrics of "River" are a metaphorical journey of life. It speaks of the desire to break free from the monotony of the predictable and take a detour to experience something new. In the song, the river symbolizes the flow of life and the singer, Hawkshaw Kirsty is yearning to be a part of it. She wants the river to take her with it to a destination that she is unaware of. She wants to leave behind her mundane life and let the river distort her reflection, perhaps so that she can see herself in a new light.
As the song progresses, Kirsty explains how she is tired of flowing in straight lines, seeing the same signs and wants to keep moving, keep clearing the way. The clouds become a metaphor for obstacles that come in our way, but we must keep moving past them to keep flowing. The last few lines of the song talk about the unknown, and if there's a place where all rivers interflow? This is the ultimate goal, to find a place where all the rivers meet, a place of harmony, and completion.
In essence, the song is about embracing the journey of life, the twists, and turns, and the desire to keep moving no matter the obstacles one encounters. It's about navigating through life, hoping to find a place of interflow, a place of contentment.
