"Rivers in the Desert" 是由美國樂隊Pink Floyd演唱的一首歌曲，收錄於他們的專輯《The Wall》中。以下是這首歌的歌詞：
Verse 1:
I'm standing here waiting for something
That's been taken from me
A voice in the distance that's calling
And I can't make it out yet
Chorus:
Rivers in the desert
Trying to wash away the memories
Trying to wash away the lies
But it's all a big game
That we're all playing
Verse 2:
So much has been taken from me
The memories of when I was free
I feel like I'm sinking
Into the ground beneath me
But there's nowhere else to go
Chorus:
Rivers in the desert
Trying to wash away the memories
Trying to wash away the lies
But it's all a big game
That we're all playing
Bridge:
So I'll keep on walking
Through the desert and the sand
Trying to find a way out
Trying to find a way back to my own land
Chorus:
Rivers in the desert
Trying to wash away the memories
Trying to wash away the lies
Trying to wash away, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Outro:
Trying to wash away, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh.
這是一首表達迷失和尋找自我的歌曲，歌詞中的沙漠象徵著失落和絕望，而河流則代表著尋找出路和希望的象徵。在歌曲中，作者試圖通過洗刷記憶和謊言來擺脫痛苦，但最終意識到這只是一個遊戲，我們都在其中扮演著自己的角色。歌曲的旋律和歌詞都充滿了悲傷和無助的情感，但同時也透露出一種堅韌和決心的精神。
