Old Bridges Burn Slow
Time's Silent Echo: Unraveling the Meaning of 'Old Bridges Burn Slow'
Lyrics
Here we go 'round again
Expressing a repetition of a situation or experience.
Masqueradin' as long lost friends
Acting as if they were once close friends, possibly pretending or masking true feelings.
'Cause a memory never dies
Memories persist over time.
It kinda fades into a lie
Memories can transform into falsehoods or distort over time.
And what da ya know
Expressing surprise or realization.
Still waters run deep
Still waters metaphorically represent hidden depths or emotions.
Old bridges burn slow
Metaphorically stating that the process of moving on or letting go takes time.
Still waters run deep, now baby
Reiterating the idea that deep emotions take time to fade.
Old bridges burn slow
Reiteration of the slow process of overcoming emotional barriers.
Let's chalk it all up to our youth
Suggesting attributing past actions or mistakes to youthful ignorance.
That's one way to hide from the truth
Using youth as a way to avoid confronting the harsh reality.
I never asks you for a thing and if I had
Claiming not to have asked for anything, possibly addressing unspoken expectations.
You would have told me no
Speculating on a negative response to a hypothetical request.
Still waters run deep
Repeating the metaphor of hidden emotions or unresolved issues.
Old bridges burn slow
Reiteration of the slow process of overcoming emotional barriers.
Still waters run deep, now baby
Reiterating the idea that deep emotions take time to fade.
Old bridges burn slow
Emphasizing the slow process of moving on from the past.
But how many years did I chase after you
Reflecting on the duration of pursuing someone.
All my mind would allow
Indicating the extent of mental involvement in the pursuit.
But now I can't break off the past
Expressing difficulty in breaking free from historical ties.
And even if I knew how
Even if the speaker knew how to move on, they might choose not to.
Ah, I wouldn't tell it to you, baby
Expressing reluctance to share certain feelings or information.
So why don't we call it a day
Suggesting an end to the current situation or relationship.
I got nothin' else left to say
Acknowledging the exhaustion of words or communication.
'Cause a dream we both dreamt was
Labeling a shared dream as a desperate attempt to preserve the relationship.
Just a last ditch attempt to stop the flow
Implying that the dream was unsuccessful in preventing the inevitable.
Still waters run deep
Repeating the metaphor of hidden emotions or unresolved issues.
Old bridges burn slow
Reiteration of the slow process of overcoming emotional barriers.
Still waters run deep, now baby
Reiterating the idea that deep emotions take time to fade.
Old bridges burn slow, mm
Emphasizing the slow process of moving on from the past.
Don't ya know they burn slow
Emphasizing the gradual and prolonged nature of emotional healing.
In a way I know and I know
Reinforcing the speaker's understanding of the slow emotional recovery process.
Don't ya know they burn slow
Reiteration of the slow process of overcoming emotional barriers.
Still waters run deep
