To me this song is about not knowing where you belong. You search and search experimenting with different groups (fish, rocks) different drugs/coping mechanisms (all my needles...) You don't know where you belong in life so you just get swept up in the current and you float along. You resent and envy the people who are so sure of what their purpose is, where they belong. In the end you belong more with the river, you change and shift and melt through fingertips. You are not meant to stay in one place.
