Condor and River Lyrics
They found your
Clothes by a Lake
I held my breath
I followed the current southwards
Until I found your secret place
Your Body
Wrapped in vines
Your body covered in Cuts
Your body surrounded by Quiet
Your body surrounded by Dark
Clothes by a Lake
I held my breath
I followed the current southwards
Until I found your secret place
Wrapped in vines
Your body covered in Cuts
Your body surrounded by Quiet
Your body surrounded by Dark

It seemed impossible. But I didn't give up my search, and I found her...
...but the cuts, the darkness that enshrouded her, and I... we were like two shadows on two sides of a broken mirror. Such a mournful song this is; it shall resonate with me deeply, and haunt me, for many years to come.
Since the song seems to be in two parts, and the title has two, and the second part references a river. It seems obvious that the first part of the song is Condor, and the second River.
But is it about a water accident or a murder? I'm not sure what condor is referencing. If is a lake, river, or a predator.
'Condor' is a species of vulture. Specifically two - The Andean Condor and California Condor.

It sounds like the person went swimming in the lake and drowned in the river's current. And their body washed up on their "secret place".
