River
Tom Gregory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't get no sleep
Then I'm rolling by the river
Trying to get back on my feet
God-damn you woke up the ghost in me
And now I need minute to breathe
'Cause I'm losing my self-control
Ooh-ooh-ooh
That's right I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
That don't mean that I want it to bleed
But I'm walking down your road
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh me, oh my
I've been thinking that I'm alright
Now I'm realizing I'm blind
And I need to open my eyes
Oh me, oh my
I've been swimming against the tide
Oh I have (oh I have)
And now I feel it
Cut me deep
I can't get no sleep
And I'm rolling by the river
Trying to get back on my feet
And you still cut me deep
And I'm on my knees
And I'm rolling by the river
Trying to get back on my feet
You still cut me deep
I can't get no sleep
And I'm rolling by the river
Trying to get back on my feet
And you still cut me deep
'Cause I'm on my knees
And I'm rolling by the river
Trying to get back on my feet
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
God-damn woke up in a reverie
Your loves taking a hold on me
As the silence comes and goes
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Was it something that I said
That you let get inside your head
That made you want me
Then made you cold
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh me, oh my
I've been thinking that I'm alright
Now I'm realizing I'm blind
And I need to open my eyes
Oh me, oh my
I've been swimming against the tide
Oh, I have (oh, I have)
And now I feel it
(Power to a crowd when the river runs dry)
You still cut me deep
I can't get no sleep
And I'm rolling by the river
Trying to get back on my feet
And you still cut me deep
'Cause I'm on my knees
And I'm rolling by the river
Trying to get back on my feet
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Rolling by the river?
Can you feel it? Ah-ooh
Can you feel it? Ah-ooh
Can you feel it?
Rolling by the river?
You still cut me deep
I can't get no sleep
And I'm rolling by the river
Trying to get back on my feet
And you still cut me deep
'Cause I'm on my knees
And I'm rolling by the river
Trying to get back on my feet
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
The lyrics to Tom Gregory's song "River" describe the pain and struggle of trying to move on from a past love. The opening lines convey the depth of his emotional pain, where he feels cut deep and sleepless. The repetition of the phrase "trying to get back on my feet" conveys his attempts to pick himself up and move on. However, he is still haunted by memories of his past love, and he is struggling to let go of his emotions. He also acknowledges his own vulnerability and admits to wearing his heart on his sleeve, but he doesn't want to be hurt anymore. In the chorus, Tom reflects on the fact that he has been blind to his own emotions and has been struggling "swimming against the tide" but now he feels it.
The second verse starts with the phrase "God-damn, you woke up the ghost in me" suggesting that his past lover has rekindled his feelings for them, making it difficult for him to move on. The lines "Your love's taking a hold of me" and "As the silence comes and goes" suggest that he is still resonating with the memories of their love, and he is struggling to escape their hold on him. He also questions if something he said caused their relationship to end and made his past love reject him and retreat. The song ends on a note of hopelessness, with the repetition of the phrase "You still cut me deep" conveying his struggle to overcome the pain of his love.
Line by Line Meaning
Cut me deep
The pain caused by your actions has deeply affected me
I can't get no sleep
The emotional pain has disrupted my ability to rest and relax
And I'm rolling by the river
I am aimlessly moving forward, trying to escape the pain
Trying to get back on my feet
I am attempting to recover and regain control of my life
God-damn you woke up the ghost in me
You revived past emotions and memories that haunt me
And now I need minute to breathe
I require time to emotionally process and cope with what you've done to me
'Cause I'm losing my self-control
I'm struggling to maintain my emotional stability and composure
That's right I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
I am being transparent and vulnerable with you about my emotions
That don't mean that I want it to bleed
Being open about my feelings doesn't mean I want to be hurt, too
But I'm walking down your road
I'm trying to understand and navigate your perspective and emotions
Oh me, oh my
An expression of shock, realization, or self-reflection
I've been thinking that I'm alright
I thought I was okay and had moved on from the pain you caused me
Now I'm realizing I'm blind
I was unaware of the true effects your actions had on me until now
And I need to open my eyes
I must face the reality of the situation and confront my emotions
I've been swimming against the tide
I've been fighting an uphill battle, trying to overcome the pain you caused me
Oh, I have (oh, I have)
Reinforcing the idea that I've struggled greatly through this process
And now I feel it
I am now fully experiencing the emotional pain
Can you feel it?
Addressing the other party, asking if they can comprehend the emotional pain they caused
Rolling by the river
An ongoing motion, oscillating between moments of pain and trying to recover
