River
Virgo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waking up your fantasy
Starts by simply saying
In your world of apple trees and flowers never fading
Please take me where you wanna be
We live in childhood memories
Our little piece of heaven
In our world of make believe
We can make it happen
I wanna find what you're searching for in heaven

But sometimes I'm drowning in the rivers that you cry
Sometimes I'm sinking while I try to relate to your mind
Sometimes I'm hoping and I fear
Cause I'm so near, with you in outer space

I'm saving all the tears you cry
To fill a sea of sadness
And later when we learned to fly
We cross it our madness
We are looking down the life below
And laugh about the waves of pain
The endless days of sorrow
And never we'll come down again
There's a path to follow
We're going to find
What we're looking for in heaven

But sometimes I'm drowning in the rivers that you cry
Sometimes I'm sinking while I try to relate to your mind
Sometimes I'm hoping and I fear




Cause I'm so near, with you in outer space
with you in outer space

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Virgo's song "River" present a journey into a world of make-believe, a childhood fantasy where apple trees and flowers never fade. The singer of the song "wakes up" this fantasy by simply saying it, and begs to be taken into this world where they can make anything happen. However, the trip is not all sunshine and rainbows, as the chorus tells us that sometimes the singer feels overwhelmed by the emotions of their companion, comparing them to a river of tears that can drown them. At the same time, they try to relate to their mind and hope for something different, a new experience that can take them away from this place without ever letting them fall back down. The second verse adds more layers to the story, telling us that the tears collected are kept like badges of honor, a sign that they survived and can now face the madness of the world with bravery. They fly above it all, looking down on the waves of pain and sorrow but never returning to the ground. There is a path to follow, a way to find what they are both searching for in heaven, but the journey is littered with emotional pitfalls and the fear of getting too close and being consumed by the other.

Assim que ouvi uma entrevista antiga do André falando que no Virgo ele faria um trabalho mais puxado pra Queen, eu tive que correr pra ouvir! Amo Queen, e o André é o melhor cantor nacional que conheço, uma mistura assim é algo que tem que se aplaudir.
