Discover the story of the song > River of Deceit – Mad Season

The protagonist is struggling with their pain, which they feel is their own fault. They have two choices: either continue to suffer or take action to alleviate it, even if it means sacrificing their pride. The "river of deceit" represents the downward spiral of their pain, but they have the power to choose which direction they go. Ultimately, the pain is self-inflicted and it's up to them to decide how to deal with it.
