I believe that this song is a mix of what "lovemusicdork" and "sorrytryagain" were saying. To me, it seems like it's saying she wants to get away from problems, but it's also saying that we are destroying nature, and she's asking the river to take her away from all the destruction.
"Such are the things that make a kingdom rumble and shatter
The same dynamic that another day would never matter
It really just depends on who's giving and who's receiving
And things that don't make sense are always a little deceiving
Come and humble me"
This leads me to believe she's saying that nature makes a kingdom fall, literally, not government/economically. Ivy grows up on the walls, and tears it down. We're constantly taking from nature, but we're also receiving more than we think about. We get our oxygen from plants, and wood from trees, food from plants. But we are also constantly hacking away at nature, trying to take what we believe to be ours. You've mowed your lawn? You've attacked nature.
Nature wouldn't miss us if we disappeared, it would scarcely realize we were gone. But if plants vanished, we wouldn't be able to survive.
