Muddy River of Loneliness
Midnight Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
for the boredom of the road
with no sign of disrespect
for the dark and heavy load
for tomorrow...
They made love upon the morning
to the beating sound of love
laying in his arms
my lips won't let you...
Muddy river of loneliness
for the boredom of the road
with no sign of disrespect
for the dark and heavy load
They made love upon the faithless morning
to the beating sound of love
all her secrets disclosed
laying in his arms..."
The song "Muddy River of Loneliness" by Midnight Choir speaks to the feeling of isolation and emptiness experienced by those who spend their lives on the road. The "muddy river" symbolizes the loneliness that washes over the singer as they travel from place to place. Despite the dark and heavy load of this feeling, the song is not disrespectful to it, instead acknowledging it as a natural part of life on the road. The line "my lips won't let you..." suggests that the singer is struggling to find the words to express their emotions.
The second verse speaks to a moment of connection and intimacy in the singer's life. They describe a moment where two people make love to the "beating sound of love". The intimacy of this moment leads to a disclosure of secrets, with one lover laying in the arms of the other. The refrain repeats, driving home the message that the singer is still trapped in the muddy river of loneliness, despite this moment of connection.

Εκεί που έχεις συμβιβαστεί με το τίποτα και εμφανιστεί κάτι που δεν μπορείς όμως να το έχεις, τότε είναι που η μοναξιά σε τρυπάει και ο πόνος είναι πιο βαθύς από ποτέ.

***** Ελπίζω, ψυχούλα μου, να έρθει κάποια μέρα η στιγμή μάθουμε πώς είναι να κερδίζεις, να κερδίζεις όχι πολλά και φανταχτερά.. μόνο ένα άτομο που θα μας αγκαλιάσει όπως είμαστε, με τις πληγές που κουβαλάμε... Έχουμε την ευχή και κατάρα να είμαστε ονειροπόλοι..
