Song Meaning

The lyrics immediately plunge us into a bleak, stagnant existence: "On dark rivers we float." There's no escape, just a perpetual drift, with our deepest selves, our "souls hide," suggesting a profound internal disconnect. Despite this internal hiding, there's a drive to "feed our dreams" and "nurse our dreams," an active effort towards inner life. Yet, this pursuit is undermined by the elusive nature of truth.
