River of Darkness
Kalli Lyrics

River of darkness
The singer uses the metaphor of a dark river to describe her emotional state

My heart is broken
The singer is deeply hurt and emotional

I can't find my way
The singer feels lost and unable to navigate her emotions

Out of the grave
The artist feels stuck, unable to move forward from her emotional pain

I can't find my way
Repetition emphasizes the artist's feeling of being lost and directionless

Ocean of sorrows
The singer feels overwhelmed by sadness and despair

Waiting for you
The singer is longing for someone or something to bring her comfort and solace

Nothing to lose
The artist has reached a point of hopelessness and resignation

Nothing to prove
The artist no longer feels the need to justify herself to anyone

River of fire
The artist continues to use water metaphors to describe her emotions, this time with the added element of heat suggesting intense passion or pain

I'm burning out
The singer feels emotionally drained and exhausted

With December
The artist may be linking her emotional pain to the coldness and darkness of winter

Floating downstream
The singer feels a lack of control over her emotions and is being carried away by them

Drifting without control
Repetition emphasizes the feeling of being lost and powerless

With everything broken
The singer's emotional pain has affected every aspect of her life

I look at the shelves
The artist is perhaps searching for something that will bring her comfort or distraction

And cry
The artist is overwhelmed with emotion and cannot hold back the tears
