Song lyrics critique request

Not poetry, strictly speaking, but song lyrics. Going for a depressing nihilistic sort of vibe. Would be grateful for a critique.

Inexperienced at this sort of thing so please bear that in mind. Thanks!

[Verse 1]

The waterline redefines the meaning of our lives Still reflections fill the mire, illusions of the light Yet as I search beneath The surface of the stream Everything is meaningless within

The waterline redefines the meeting of our minds And dwells within the earth's desire To balance and refine Yet as I search beneath The river flows away Endlessly in meaningless decay

[Prechorus]

Traced in earthen stone Lost among the faces of the autumn Spiralling down In the detritus in despair

[Chorus]

Finished here Passing light written in the years In the fabric of time In diverging rivers flowing apart In disquieted solitude Disconnected from the other

Colours fade eternally away A yearning for rain Endless day in dissonance and pain Forever remains

[Verse 2]

The waterline redefines the colour of the sky And quells the ever burning fire Reflected in the mire Yet as i search beneath The embers in the stream All that's left is meaningless within

[Prechorus]

Traced in earthen stone Meanders in the shadow of the mountain Serpentine Flowing through the valley in despair

[Chorus]

Finished here Passing light written in the years In the fabric of time In diverging rivers flowing apart In shadows of the open sky In destruction of the other

Colours fade eternally away A yearning for rain Endless day in dissonance and pain Forever remains

[Bridge]

Searching daylight now Were you there beyond the fog? Was destruction left behind?

I sought your river of life To rid my darkness of the night, to seek the ever-changing light

Our lives, defined, return to memories in stone Our minds, now rivers running dry Shall never reach their final home Subsurface Nothingness

Endlessly we flow away

[Instrumental]

[Verse ]

The waterline, redefined, erodes the sands of time Endless rivers flow away to oceans once alive And still I search beneath The dark ephemeral stream Embedded stones of memories within

[Prechorus]

Traced in earthen stone Movement in the turning of the autumn Spiralling down Submerged in chasms of despair

[Chorus]

Finished here Passing light written in the years In the fabric of time In diverging rivers flowing apart. What remains of the rising tide In revulsion of the other?

Still I fade eternally away Still yearning for rain Endless day in dissonance and pain Our river remains
