River
Marcus Gad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold on to nothing and flow to the sea
What I am was not born, it is eternally
Forever it has been, forever it will be
One drop to the day, tomorrow in the sea
Like the river the river flow from a misty mountain
Liberate your mind ina conscious ocean
You just watch them flow by like a water fountain
This water you cry was once up in the sky, underground.
In the plants and animals that live all around
Same, who you gonna blame?
When nothing and all is the same
Like the river
Hold on to nothing and flow to the sea
What I am was not born, it is eternally
Forever it has been, forever it will be
One drop to the day, tomorrow in the sea
Like a water flow are the laws of nature
All bodies go back to the hummus layer
But forever alive ina the water
Egoless and free yes the spirit a prosper
Was before, still is and will be ever after
Holding on to nothing if itโs made out of matter
Ancient of days, pure in all ways
Canโt you see the love in this river show ?
Ina the cycle of the water, for all she knows is the flow of old.
Oh ! The stories sheโs told of the birth and the passing of all
Like the river
Hold on to nothing and flow to the sea
What I am was not born, it is eternally
Forever it has been, forever it will be
One drop to the day, tomorrow in the sea
Water like the soul has an old memory
Here from beginning ina same quantity
In the sea, the plants, the river and your body
Not to say in all that you see
Conscience a grow ina the water it a flow
Cover the earth in form of rain, in form of snow
All of my fears and all of my love
Ina the flow of this river it a show
Ina the cycle of the water, all I know
Like the river
Hold on to nothing and flow to the sea
What I am was not born, it is eternally
Forever it has been, forever it will be
One drop to the day, tomorrow in the sea
The song "River" by Marcus Gad describes the nature of the river as a metaphor for the cycle of life. The river is insinuated as the ultimate analogy for human existence, teaching that life should be lived without attachment and that we should let go of anything that does not serve us. The chorus in the song calls for one to let go of everything and to surrender oneself to the flow of life. The river flows from a misty mountain and finds its freedom in a conscious ocean, and it teaches us to liberate our minds and let our thoughts flow like water in a fountain. We should not hold on to anything because everything is just a physical manifestation of matter, and eventually, our bodies will go back to the earth. Just like the river, we should be egoless and free and let our spirits prosper.
The lyrics go on to describe how water, like the soul, has old memories that have been here from the beginning. The water we see today has been on this earth for a long time, and it exists in various forms such as rain, snow, and in every living thing. The river has stories to tell about the birth and passing of all forms of life, and these stories are a reflection of the cycle of life.

This water you cry was once up in the sky, underground.
The water you are crying about was once part of the water cycle, evaporated from the earth and landed on the earth, flowing underground.
In the plants and animals that live all around
It is present in every living thing near you
Same, who you gonna blame?
It's all the same, so there is no one to blame
When nothing and all is the same
When everything and nothing are the same thing
Like a water flow are the laws of nature
The laws of nature operate like the flow of water

All bodies eventually return to the earth
But forever alive ina the water

Egoless and free yes the spirit a prosper
Without ego, the spirit can thrive and be free
Was before, still is and will be ever after
It existed before and will continue to exist forever
Holding on to nothing if itโs made out of matter
It is not worth holding onto something made out of materialistic things

Ina the cycle of the water, for all she knows is the flow of old.
All the river knows is how to flow like it always has in the water cycle
Oh! The stories sheโs told of the birth and the passing of all
The river tells stories of the beginning and end of all living things
Water like the soul has an old memory
Water, like the soul, has a long-standing memory
Here from beginning ina same quantity
It has been here from the start in the same amount
In the sea, the plants, the river and your body
It exists in the sea, plants, river, and your body
Not to say in all that you see
Not confined to only those things
Conscience a grow ina the water it a flow
Consciousness grows with the flow of water
Cover the earth in form of rain, in form of snow
Cover the earth as rain or snow
All of my fears and all of my love
All my fears and love
Ina the flow of this river it a show
Displayed in the flow of the river
Ina the cycle of the water, all I know
All I know is in the water cycle
