Matthew Barber – Where The River River Bends Lyrics 12 years ago
It seems I interpreted this song a lot differently than most people.
The way I look at it, he's talking about some sort of drug.
In the first stanza, he's talking about the drug. It's new and exciting, but is it exactly what you thought it would be?
The second stanza seems to be describing other drugs. closer to the light could be LSD, raging into the night could be cocaine/crack.
Now the third stanza is where it gets interesting. The author says he's been where the river bends (He's tried the drug) and it's not all its ment to be. The waters not as blue, the grass isn't as green.
The author doesn't want to go back to where he was when he was on the drug, where the river bends.
Just my interpretation :3
