Burning Bridges
Bridges Ablaze: A Reflection on Lost Paths
Lyrics
Can we breathe in a life with no green
Questioning the possibility of living without nature or vitality.
Can we see when light’s been left beneath
Wondering if we can perceive in darkness or when illumination is suppressed.
Find peace in lives that don’t exist
Seeking tranquility in non-existent or unreal lives.
They feel like none of us feel
Describing a sense of detachment, feeling different or unconnected.
In our own world they say
Others suggest there's a superior way to live in their own world.
No better way
Implying that the alternative way is superior.
They’re broken roads
Referring to challenging paths or difficult journeys.
No price to pay
Indicating there's no cost or consequence associated with these challenges.
When lives are lost
When lives are taken or lost.
We’re burning bridges
Symbolizing the destruction of connections and relationships.
And there’s no light
Metaphorically referring to a lack of hope or guidance.
Put down your weapons
Encouraging to abandon conflict or hostility.
We’ve lost this fight
Admitting defeat in a conflict or struggle.
Can we be in a place where we can breathe
Asking if it's possible to find a place where one can truly exist.
Take the real world show me what they mean
Requesting to understand the reality or true essence of the world.
No better way
Similar to line 6, suggesting an ideal alternative.
They’re broken roads
Reiterating difficult or challenging paths.
No price to pay
Emphasizing the absence of a cost for these challenges.
When lives are lost
When lives are taken or lost (repeated from line 9).
We’re burning bridges
Repetition symbolizing the continued destruction of connections.
And there’s no light
Continuing the metaphor of hopelessness or guidance.
Put down your weapons
Repeated call to end conflict or hostility (repeated from line 12).
We’ve lost this fight
Reiterating the admission of defeat in a struggle (repeated from line 13).
Is it peace to set alight
Questioning if setting things on fire brings peace.
Burning bridges, losing sight
Symbolizing the destruction of connections and losing direction.
Push back before it’s gone
Advocating to resist or oppose before it's too late.
Then fight what you know is wrong
Encouraging fighting against what's morally incorrect or unjust.
Give yourself a reason to feel
Encouraging finding purpose or justification for emotions.
No better way
Similar to lines 6 and 16, suggesting an ideal alternative way.
They’re broken roads
Referring again to challenging paths or journeys (repeated from lines 7 and 17).
No price to pay
Emphasizing the absence of a cost for these challenges (repeated from lines 8 and 18).
When lives are lost
When lives are taken or lost (repeated from lines 9 and 19).
We’re burning bridges

And there’s no light
Continuation of hopelessness or lack of guidance (repeated from lines 11 and 21).
Put down your weapons

We’ve lost this fight
