What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
High water carried her down stream
2
She watched the water's living things
3
She thought, it's not a mound with six planks of wood
4
The cardinal points to hold you up
5
Or a mountain where a shed self could
6
Feed the roots and honor the tongues of the animals
7
Drift into the moss and bloat where the peat bog pulls
8
Rolled like a felled tree
9
With arms as useless as such
10
Death's panic came, a calmness stayed, you couldn't do much
11
Just watch the water chip away at the bank eroding
12
Cut and crumbling through the spate
13
It took a father, it covered a daughter
14
Took her down, down, down
15
With the glass bottles, books, a tire
16
Collected hair tufts in the weeds
17
Snagged and wrapped in the peats
18
Dammed and trapped
19
You said, is this the ceremony?
20
I don't know, well I don't mind
21
The way we all fall in and roll down
22
Pushed through the veins and trafficked byes
23
And when your ears sit under
24
Head is half submerged down below
25
Pooling all accounts of peace while passed beneath the canopy glow
Agnes Obel - Riverside (Official Video)
