Chevelle – Rivers lyrics
[Verse 1]
I feel as though you want to live forever
Borrow beg and steal
It takes much more than toes to swim across
This river that we know
I don’t believe the scorpion would die
Clever clever crows
And till the lights goes out I’ll live in awe

[Chorus]
So look inside
Newfound demise
So natural
I’m slipping side, sideways
Blind
Fully out of line
So natural
I’m slipping side, sideways

[Verse 2]
Still friends with vices don’t care for advice
Send them off
To all sinners and saints, lift your bottomless glasses
And come
Oh, It’s all around
Well, it’s all wrong

[Chorus]
So look inside
Newfound demise
So natural
I’m slipping side, sideways
Blind
Fully out of line
So natural
I’m slipping side, sideways
Sideways
Sideways
Sideways
Sideways

[Bridge]
It seems as though you want to live forever
Well, it takes much more than toes to swim across
And I'm slipping
Sideways
Sideways
Sideways
I'm slipping
Sideways
Sideways
Sideways

[Chorus]
So look inside (side)
Newfound demise (newfound demise)
So natural (so natural)
I’m slipping side, sideways
Blind (blind)
Fully out of line (line)
So natural (so natural)
I’m slipping side, sideways
Sideways
Sideways
Sideways
Sideways
Sideways
Sideways

    I always thought this song was referencing the fable of the Scorpion and the Frog. The title would be an obvious reference to the river in the fable. Newfound demise seems to be the fate of the frog. The lyric 'slipping sideways' seems like it could be in reference to the frog dying as he is swept away by the river. 'Still friends with vices don’t care for advice' seems like it could be the tendency for the scorpion to sting when it know it will die as a result. I can't find anything in any of the fables related to the scorpion and the frog or the scorpion and the turtle that reference a crow, but that may just be creative license by the writer. Or I may be completely wrong :)
