Bridges Are Burning
Bridges Ablaze: Breaking Free from Pain with Jaded Heart
Lyrics
Got my dead man’s boots today
Acquired a pair of boots from a deceased person
Every step of dust shall leave
Every step kicks up dust, leaving traces in the earth
Tracks in soil and roots, they say
Tracks in soil and roots symbolize a journey
But still I’m walking, breaking free
Continues to walk and break free despite challenges
Through smoke alone I journey
Journeying through difficulties represented by smoke
By stone and rock I’m running
Running through obstacles represented by stone and rock
One heavy downstroke falling
Expresses a forceful and impactful musical stroke
I hit the chord
Successfully plays a chord
The bridges are burning
Mentions the burning of bridges, indicating irreversible actions
But I won’t turn back again
Commitment to not turning back despite burning bridges
The tables are turning
Indicates a shift in circumstances or fortunes
I’m crossing the stream of pain
Crossing a metaphorical stream of pain with determination
Just watch me go
Asserts confidence and determination to move forward
Stop in front of windows pale
Stops in front of windows, possibly reflecting on the past
They greet me every time I pass
Windows greet and remind of past experiences
Gaze into that stranger’s face
Gazes into a stranger's face through broken glass
That’s staring through the broken glass
Observing the world through a fractured perspective
Watch out, behind the corner
Warns of potential threats or challenges around the corner
I’m coming round, I’m coming
Expresses determination and approach towards challenges
If life’s a one way street now
If life is a one-way street, expresses willingness to defy it
I’ll climb the wall
Willingness to overcome obstacles, even by climbing walls
The bridges are burning
Reiterates the irreversible burning of bridges
But I won’t turn back again
Reaffirms commitment to not turning back
The tables are turning
Continues to emphasize a shift in circumstances
I’m crossing the stream of pain
Repeated determination to overcome pain and challenges
The bridges are burning
Reiterates the burning of bridges, emphasizing finality
But I won’t come back a-gain
Emphasizes no return from the irreversible path taken
The tables are turning
Repeats the theme of turning tables and changing fortunes
I’m crossing the stream of pain
Continued determination to overcome pain and obstacles
Just watch me go
Asserts confidence and determination to move forward
The bridges are burning
Reiterates the irreversible burning of bridges
But I won’t turn back again
Reaffirms commitment to not turning back
The tables are turning
Repeats the theme of turning tables and changing fortunes
I’m crossing the stream of pain
Continued determination to overcome pain and obstacles
The bridges are burning
Emphasizes the finality of burning bridges
But I won’t come back a-gain
Underlines the determination to not return
The tables are turning
Repeats the theme of turning tables and changing fortunes
I’m crossing the stream of pain
Continued determination to overcome pain and obstacles
Just watch me go
Reiterates confidence and determination to move forward
