The River Acoustic

Good Charlotte

Transposer:

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of  L.A.  The footsteps that were next to me have gone their separate ways  I’ve seen enough now to know that beautiful things don’t always stay that way  I’ve done enough now to know this beautiful place isn’t everything they say Pre-Chorus:   I heard that evil comes disguised   like the city of angels I’m walking towards the light Chorus:   Baptized in the river I’ve seen a vision of my life And I wanna be delivered   In the city I was a sinner I’ve done a lot of things wrong But I swear I’m a believer   Like the prodigal son I was out on my own Now I’m trying to find my way back home  Baptized in the river I’m delivered I’m delivered     M.Shadows:}     verse 2: (power chords)         You?re from a small town You’re gonna grow up fast underneath these lights.  Down in Hollywood on the boulevard the dead come back to life.  To the praying Mother the worried Father Let your children go.  If they come back they’ll come home stronger and if they don’t you’ll know Pre-Chorus:   They say that evil comes disguised   like the city of angels I’m walking towards the light Chorus:   Baptized in the river I’ve seen a vision of my life And I wanna be delivered    In the city I was a sinner I’ve done a lot of things wrong But I swear I’m a believer   Like the prodigal son I was out on my own Now I’m trying to find my way back home  Baptized in the river I’m delivered I’m delivered   Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered    Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered Break/Chorus:(open chords)                          (on my own)     Baptized in the river I’ve seen a vision of my life And I wanna be delivered   In the city I was a sinner I’ve done a lot of things wrong But I swear I’m a believer   Like the prodigal son I was out on my own Now I’m trying to find my way back home  Baptized in the river I’m delivered I’m delivered    Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered    Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered    I confess I’m a sinner I’ve seen a vision of my life And I wanna be delivered

La chanson évoque le cheminement d'une personne à travers les épreuves d'une vie à Los Angeles, où elle réalise que les illusions de beauté peuvent être trompeuses. Malgré un passé marqué par des erreurs, l'artiste cherche la rédemption et aspire à retrouver la lumière. Il utilise la métaphore du baptême dans la rivière pour symboliser un nouveau départ et un désir profond de se réconcilier avec ses convictions et de retrouver sa voie, à l'image du fils prodigue qui revient chez lui. Le contexte met en lumière les défis de grandir dans une grande ville, où les influences peuvent être à la fois attirantes et destructrices. La lutte entre le bien et le mal est palpable, celui qui marche vers la lumière cherche à se libérer de son passé et confesse son besoin de pardon et d'une nouvelle direction.
