about

The message of this song is get rid of all those things that are keeping you from being your authentic self. The deeper you go, the easier it gets to see through all of the lies, propaganda and other nonsense keeping you from thriving. The "Swollen River" itself could be an event of some sort that helps to trigger someone out of their malaise and begin living their own true hero's journey (as Joseph Campbell would say) and have a more meaningful and fruitful life.

lyrics

All the hidden minutia
Behind an artificial fog
But the deja vu's become
More easy to decipher and unravel.....
Your eyes.....

Shed your character armor
Begun with a slight crack and unravel.....
Your eyes seem to glow

Await the swollen river
To soak the barren canvas
And put an end to this
To this lifeless torpor and unravel.....
Your eyes seem to glow

Await the swollen river
To take us away
To take us away now
From this lifeless torpor
Take us away
Take us away and unravel.....
Your eyes seem to glow
