| Bruce Springsteen – The River Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
One of my favorite Springsteen songs... along with Youngstown I think it really encapsulates the death of the American Dream. I just wanted to mention that whenever I hear this song, the last verse makes me think of suicide. The lines: "That sends me down to the river Though I know the river is dry" makes me think that he is going to jump into the dry river bed from a bridge.... The lyrics above are incorrect because the line is: "And into the river we'd dive", not drive. Which is why at the end of the song it makes me think he's going to dive into the dry river bed. Also another much darker interpretation of "My baby and I" is that he's thinking about killing himself and perhaps his wife or his child... anyways, my two cents. |
