River
cento Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And it's coming
coming down like a river
over all of us
and it's coming
coming down like a river (and I don't know)
over all of us

After all this time
life has colour
after all this lies
there's no sorrow
I see my better days
They are changing the way that I used to be

Shines over all
a light from the ocean
if you see it, it's true
reflecting along in my head

And it's coming
coming down like a river
over all of us

And then I walk the line
I'm older
and I don't even cry
but I'm becoming
I see my better days
they are changing the way that I used to be

Shines over all
a light from the ocean
if you see it, it's true
reflecting along in my head

And it's coming
coming down like a river
over all of us
and it's coming
coming down like a river (and I don't know)
over all of us

I can see the past today
take a step into the darkness
you can shake the pain away
paralyzed in this wrong place

Shines over all
a light from the ocean




if you see it, it's true
reflecting along in my head

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song "River" by Cento set the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The metaphor of water flowing like a river is used to describe the inevitability of change and how this change affects everyone. The words "coming down like a river" are repeated throughout the song, emphasizing this idea of a force that cannot be stopped and that affects us all. The lyrics suggest that this force can be both powerful and beautiful.


The chorus suggests that this force is something that is not to be feared but acknowledged. It is something that connects us all, making us part of a bigger picture. The lyrics suggest that the river is a force for good that brings positive change - "after all this time life has color, after all this lies there's no sorrow". The river brings change to people's lives, helping them to see things differently and creating the possibility of a new perspective.
