Rivers Runnin' Black
Incognito Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Jean-Paul Maunick / Jim Watson)
Rivers running black
It's a sign of the times
Rivers running black
To the heart of our soul

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Rivers Runnin' Black" by Incognito highlight a pressing issue of environmental deterioration, particularly the pollution of rivers. The song paints a grim picture of the world we live in, where the natural beauty of rivers is being destroyed and replaced with polluted, black water, signifying the harm that humans have inflicted on the planet. The repetition of the phrase "rivers running black" emphasizes the magnitude of the problem, and the urgency of finding a solution before it's too late. The line "to the heart of our soul" speaks to how the pollution of rivers extends far beyond environmental damage, affecting our very being and well-being as human beings connected to nature.

The song also speaks to the powerlessness that people feel in the face of widespread environmental destruction. The lyrics suggest that we are all to blame for the state of the rivers, but we are also all victims, as we rely on these natural resources for our survival. The bridge of the song features the lines, "The more we try to lead the way, the less we seem to care / We walk the earth, neglecting all the beauty that's still there." With these lyrics, the song highlights the paradoxical nature of modern society, where we are more aware of environmental issues than ever before, yet seem to be doing less and less to address them.
