Under The Bridge
Ria Mae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the mistakes
You have made
I'm not the type
To sit and dwell
Or be fazed
They know
I'm not making it up
That you fucked up
Now they know
I'm not making it up
Everyone knows
That you fucked up
Nobody's speaking up
But they're talking so loud
No one forgot it
They're just waiting for the right crowd
It's not water water water under the bridge
It's not water water water under the bridge
Now
No I won't wait
So you can save face
Won't bury it or put in a cage
It's not about me
Honestly
Just don't want to hear you did the same thing
No I'm not calling it off
Everyone knows I don't stop when it's hard
Now they know I'm not calling it off
Everyone knows I won't stop when it's hard
Now
Nobody's speaking up
But they're talking so loud
No one forgot it
They're just waiting for the right crowd
It's not water water water under the bridge
Now
It's not water water water under the bridge
Now
Calling it one thing is not, not okay
It might move for a bit
But it won't go away
You can cover it up
But you better dig deep
You call it your day
It's the voice in your dreams
It's not one thing or two
It is everything
You can cover it up
But you better dig deep
It's not water water water under the bridge
It's not water water water under the bridge
No body's speaking up
But they're talking so loud
No one forgot it
They're just waiting for the right crowd
It's not water water water under the bridge
Now
It's not water water water under the bridge
Now
It's not water water water under the bridge
Now
It's not water water water under the bridge
Now
The lyrics of Ria Mae's song Under the Bridge convey a message about accountability and the consequences of one's actions. The song's opening lines suggest that the singer is not willing to save or cover up the mistakes of the person addressed in the song. The lines, "I'm not the type to sit and dwell or be fazed" indicate that the singer is not going to be affected by the person's excuses or attempts to shift the blame.
The chorus, "Nobody's speaking up, but they're talking so loud, no one forgot it, they're just waiting for the right crowd" highlights the fact that although people may not be speaking out about the mistakes made, they have not forgotten and are simply waiting for the right time to confront the individual. The bridge of the song describes the fact that the mistakes made by the person are not something that can be brushed under the rug and forgotten; the lines "you call it your day, it's the voice in your dreams, it's not one thing or two, it is everything" suggest that the person will be haunted by their actions and that the consequences will not be insignificant.
Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions and being accountable for the impact they have on others. The repeating lines of "It's not water under the bridge" suggest that the mistakes made and the fallout from them cannot be easily forgotten or dismissed.
