Lyrics
I know the times the times are hard to bear
I acknowledge the challenging and difficult times.
It's hard to find someone to really care
Finding someone who genuinely cares is a challenging task.
But before I went down and out
Reflecting on a period of personal struggle.
Here's what I used to think about, think about
Contemplating thoughts during difficult times.
London bridge is always fallin' down,
Using the metaphor of London Bridge to symbolize challenges and instability.
But there it stood within the heart of town
Despite challenges, the symbol of London Bridge stands in the heart of town.
Reminding everyone of life behind and life to come
It serves as a reminder of both past and future aspects of life.
The changes taking place are everywhere
Acknowledging widespread changes in various aspects of life.
The centuries past have nothing to compare
Comparing current changes to the past centuries, noting their significance.
Where they stand, where they trip and fall
Observing individuals facing challenges and setbacks.
Watch the writing on the wall, on the wall
Noting warnings and indications of future challenges (writing on the wall).
London bridge is fallin' down at last,
London Bridge falling down signifies the end of an era or memory.
And so another memory of the past
Acknowledging the loss of another piece of the past.
Has fell beneath the blade, but soon the dead may be repaid
Recognizing the sacrifices made, with potential for future redemption.
I know things just can't evolve for all eternity
Expressing a belief that things cannot remain unchanged forever.
The thoughts will leave, will never die, and now so you can see
Emphasizing the enduring nature of thoughts and memories.
London bridge is finally fallin' down,
Reiterating the fall of London Bridge, now emphasizing its departure from the town.
It packed it up and shipped it outta town
Highlighting the removal of the bridge and the lingering impact of the experience.
And though the horror's gone, the memory will linger on
Despite the horror being gone, memories persist.
London bridge is finally fallin' down,
Repeating the acknowledgment of London Bridge's fall, emphasizing its past location.
It used to stand within the heart of town
Recalling the bridge's historical presence in the heart of town.
Reminding everyone of life behind and life to come
Reiterating the symbolic role of the bridge as a reminder of life's facets.
London bridge is finally fallin' down
Repeating the acknowledgment of London Bridge's final fall.
