River Tiber Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I fell in love in the middle of the desert
In a city of confessions (in a city of confessions)
I wasn't looking and that's always how it happens
Yeah that's always how it happens
(Yeah that's always how it happens)

We could get lost (get lost, get lost, get lost, get lost)
We could get lost (get lost, get lost, get lost, get lost)

Already gone, gone, gone
(Already gone, gone, gone)
Already gone, gone, gone
Ooh

(Yeah)

The dark that (dark that)
We speak in (we speak in)
And spark up (spark up)
Our demons (our demons)
The garden (the garden)
Of eden (of eden)
Sent out of paradise (sent out of paradise)
Without our spirits (our spirits)

I had to let go
Everything that I imagined
I found God after the panic (I found God after the panic)
I wasn't ready and that's always how it happens
Yeah that's always how it happens
(Yeah that's always how it happens)

We could get lost (get lost, get lost, get lost, get lost)
We could get lost (get lost, get lost, get lost, get lost)
Already gone, gone, gone
(Already gone, gone, gone)
Already gone, gone, gone, ooh

It's there in your eyes

It's there in your eyes
It's there in your eyes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to River Tiber's song Nevada evoke a strong sense of discovery, both in oneself and in a new love interest. The singer reflects on their experiences falling in love unexpectedly in a desert city, highlighting the theme of the unknown and taking a leap of faith. The repetition of the phrase "that's always how it happens" reinforces the idea that life's most meaningful moments often occur when we are not actively seeking them out.

The second verse references darker themes, with mentions of "demons" and being "sent out of paradise without our spirits." However, the singer ultimately finds peace and a sense of spirituality after experiencing panic and letting go of their preconceived notions. The chorus's repetition of "we could get lost" suggests a willingness to embrace vulnerability and surrender control.

Overall, the lyrics of Nevada encourage listeners to embrace the unknown and find beauty in unexpected situations, even in the midst of darkness.

I fell in love in the middle of the desert
I unexpectedly fell in love in a remote area devoid of civilization

In a city of confessions (in a city of confessions)
In a place where people confess their deepest thoughts and feelings

I wasn't looking and that's always how it happens
I didn't actively seek out love, and it came to me naturally as it often does

Yeah that's always how it happens
This is a common pattern that occurs frequently

We could get lost (get lost, get lost, get lost, get lost)
We could wander and explore aimlessly for an extended period of time

Already gone, gone, gone (Already gone, gone, gone) Already gone, gone, gone Ooh
We have lost our way and departed without return

The dark that (dark that) We speak in (we speak in) And spark up (spark up) Our demons (our demons) The garden (the garden) Of eden (of eden) Sent out of paradise (sent out of paradise) Without our spirits (our spirits)
We try to confront our inner demons and struggles in the dark, just like Adam and Eve were banished from paradise when they lost their innocence.

I had to let go Everything that I imagined I found God after the panic (I found God after the panic) I wasn't ready and that's always how it happens Yeah that's always how it happens
I had to let go of my expectations and preconceptions, leading me to find a deeper understanding of faith after experiencing chaos and confusion, mirroring the common theme of not being prepared for unexpected events.

It's there in your eyes It's there in your eyes It's there in your eyes
Whatever it is or the truth behind your inner self is reflected in your eyes.

Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus]
I fell in love in the middle of the desert
In a city of confessions (in a city of confessions)
I wasn't looking and that's always how it happens
That's always how it happens (that's always how it happens)

[Chorus]
We could get lost (get lost, get lost, get lost, get lost)
We could get lost (get lost, get lost, get lost, get lost)
Already gone (already gone, already gone, already gone)
I'm already gone

[Verse 1]
The dark that (dark that)
We speak in (we speak in)
And spark up (spark up)
Our demons (our demons)
The garden (the garden)
Of Eden (of Eden)
Sent out of Paradise (sent out of Paradise)
Without our spirits (our spirits)

[Pre-Chorus]
I had to let go
Everything that I imagined
I found God after the panic (I found God after the panic)
I wasn't ready and that's always how it happens
That's always how it happens (that's always how it happens)

[Chorus]
We could get lost (get lost, get lost, get lost, get lost)
We could get lost (get lost, get lost, get lost, get lost)
Already gone (already gone, already gone, already gone)
Already gone (already gone, already gone, already gone)

[Outro]
It's there in your eyes
It's there in your eyes
It's there in your eyes
