Soen - River Lyrics






As I'm walking alone I remember the times when we played here
Leaving a broken home making sure we were whole and together

Every failure we shared, every night that we were forsaken
I would dream of a life far away from it all but you

All these words that I left unspoken
I will say when I meet you again
I see you but I can't feel your presence
I feel you but you're fading away

Time is wise and our wounds seem to heal to the rhythm of aging
But our past is a ghost fading out that at night it's still haunting

We are growing apart, still I know that inside you're aching
But the scars that we share will remind us of who we are

All these words that I left unspoken
I will say when I meet you again
I see you but I can't feel your presence
I feel you but you're fading away

All these words that I left unspoken
I will say when I meet you again
I see you but I can't feel your presence
I feel you but you're fading away

Let it all wither
Let it all wither and let it go

  1. m.... ....

    wow! the ending is magneficent

  2. R.... D....

    LOVE this... I just bought the c/d on Amazon!!!

  3. T.... ....

    Damn, this song gets more love than I would have expected. Sounds the most generic and “poppy” on the album to me, not that I think that’s a bad thing but I wouldn’t expect it to be popular with Soen fans.
    Guitar solo is fucking fantastic

    T.... ....

    The lyrics and chorus are really well done even if it has a “poppy” vibe.

  4. t.... ....

    The song is really good, but I can't help but feel that it failed to reach it's full potential...

    t.... ....

    A female voice added would be incredible

  5. H.... s....

    Amazing!

  6. Z.... ....

    Müthiş bir şarkı

  7. E.... ....

    I will forever remember this song...
    I heard it on my way home, the day that my dear dog died.. I earlier knew what happened but I was far from my house and at work, and this is the last song I've listened before oppening my door and cry with my family...
    She had a cancer and her last days were horrible, she was losing control of her body and I didn't recognise her at all, she was already gone and that's where this song punched me in the heart and mostly these 2 lines who perfectly describes how I was seing my dog and how powerless I was feeling :

    "I see you but I can’t feel your presence.
    I feel you but you’re fading away."

    I've always loved you from the bottom of my heart, Rest In Peace Chipie. <3

    E.... ....

    She must have been a wonderful dog. Thank you for sharing. I wish you and your family all the best in the recuperation.

    E.... ....

    @WisdomThumbs She really was <3 and thanks a lot too, don't worry we'll never forget her but we have to go forward ^-^

    This song is a Masterpiece. Shame on the world that this one is not as widely known as despacito. Come on in the 70s or 80s this would have been a classic.

  9. N.... ....

    Αυτό το τραγούδι είναι τόσο ωραίο και εχει πραγματικά στίχους με μεγαλο νοημα. Με συγκινει όπως οι Anathema και με μαγεύει όπως οι Opeth...Ο τραγουδιστης μου θυμίζει φουλ κ τον Μικαελ κ τον Βινσεντ απ τ δυο συγκροτήματα.. Μακάρι αυτοι οι τρεις να εκαναν μια ωραία συνεργασία μαζί. :(

  10. U.... Z....

    This is a masterpiece! The whole album is a masterpiece. Especially this song, at least for me. I felt like an old lighthouse enlightened my whole soul and made me realize I was so numb for a long time. I know it is a sad song, but you can feel the heart, the heat and the life emanating from the singing, the guitar playing, from all the musicians and people involved in such a perfect harmony. I feel the sadness in this song but the greatness of this feeling also makes me want to live all emotion in my life with this intensity, this fierceness.

  11. B.... K....

    Martin Lopez must be bored .

    B.... K....

    Nahh, he wouldn't have joined the band otherwise.

  12. L.... W....

    The album is one of the best i have heard in a long time...and "River" one of the best songs also...it so reminds me of "Comfortably Numb"....enough to make one cry.....please tour Australia.....

  13. K.... ....

    This is some transcendental stuff. Beautiful

  14. M.... e....

    This song makes me cry so much, it makes me suffer. I love it.

  15. m.... A....

    incredible

  16. S.... T....

    S.... T....

    Joel 🖤

  17. M.... M....

    My faaavvv 💫❤

  18. Y.... V....

    This song makes me cry. <3

  19. E.... A....

    Bellissima

  20. t.... �....

    yeah spotify is nice, but being able to express your feelings and thoughts through comments even if it's not going to be read by anyone is what makes youtube special i think. amazing song imo. i'm not a real metal listener anymore but this is something special.

    t.... �....

    benim de albümde en beğendiğim şarkı oldu.. youtube ve yorumlar hakkındaki görüşüne de katılıyorum bu arada..

    t.... �....

    @leowasthere teşekkür ederim,konseri kaçırmaman dileğiyle :)

    t.... �....

    Same here. I love listening to songs that I enjoy on YouTube so I can share it with people who also feel exactly as I do right now. This is beautiful

    t.... �....

    This. Isn't. Metal

  21. B.... C....

    Just picked up this vinyl yesterday and this song literally just brought me to tears. Never has a song done that...

  22. E.... D....

    wonderful song!

  23. J.... S....

    Please. Come to the US. Cleveland, Ohio. I'll be waiting. 🔥🔥🔥

  24. G.... e....

    This album is perfect <3

  25. A.... A....

    Damn good. First song that could make me cry in quite some time.

  26. s.... ....

    Beautiful!!!! See you soon!

  27. M.... W....

    Use your fucking ears. This is nothing but Autotune vocal cheating. What a shame!

  28. s.... ....

    Definitely my favorite song of this album. Was not really into your prior albums, but this is something else.

    s.... ....

    Have you not heard the Song - The Words or Lucidity?

  29. M.... ....

    The falsetto at the end sounds like Agent Fresco, and I absolutely love it. This band took a really long time to grow on me, but this album got me.

  30. J.... H....

    Nice song!

  31. L.... V....

    One of the best, if not the best track on the album...

  32. T.... J....

    Music simply doesn´t get much better than this. Many thanks for your amazing songs. I´m really looking forward to your gig here at Olympia in Tampere Finland. Keep it up and all the best for the Lotus world tour! P. s. One just can not help digging this if the acts like Pink Floyd, Opeth and TOOL are close to your heart! <3 -TJR

  33. E.... F....

    I'd pay to hear the guy from the beginning sing more often.

    E.... F....

    he's the same guy lol

  34. J.... A....

    One of the most beautiful songs I've heard in my life.

  35. B.... W....

    B.... W....

    few songs I suggest:
    Sectarian
    Opal
    Canvas
    Jinn
    Fraccions
    Tabula rasa
    :)

    B.... W....

  38. T.... ....

    Could be right from The division Bell. In a positive way of cause!

  39. K.... ....

    One of the BEST tracks on this record - and I didn't expect a mellow track to be so good and diverse like this one.

  40. A.... K....

    i never like soen. but i Always thought it was something interesting on it. this song is beautifull . i try with this new album .

    A.... K....

  45. 7.... l....

    goosebumpscentral...

  46. T.... G....

    The evolution of Joel Ekelöfs voice is just amazing. There is so much depth in his singing, i'm getting lost everytime i hear it!♥

  47. S.... S....

    I'm sensing more and more Pink Floyd vibes from them. Ever since I found Soen in 2014-15, they never cease to amaze me. 4 absolutely fantastic albums in less than a decade. Please Soen never stop making magical music.

  48. J.... T....

    At least theres 1 good song in this album

    J.... T....

    Lotus was mellow and nice as well from this record, seen that one?

    J.... T....

    @The Somber One yea I like half of lotus it's an alright song imo I'm picky with this band

    J.... T....

    Lotus is better and the best one. My current top 3 off the record is 1. Lotus 2. Martyrs and 3. River....but I'm a newcomer to the band. Really impressed with this record.

  49. T.... E....

    I want.to.cry.
    I.love.this....

  50. J.... J....

  52. F.... ....

    Killer new album. Lotus' songs are written and arranged perferctly

  53. M.... ....

    Been a long time since I shut everything out and listened to an album from start to finish, not feeling the urge to forward/skip anything. This album is a masterpiece.

    M.... ....

    Did the same. Start to finish. Every song is killer

    M.... ....

    ..Up the Irons... hum... Up the Soens

    M.... A....

    M.... A....

    Best album of the year: TOOL "Fear Inoculum" (period)

  60. L.... R....
