Bridge Too Far
Unveiling Depths: The Soulful Journey of 'Bridge Too Far'
Lyrics
Get my guts all over your fingers
Expressing intimacy or closeness that led to a messy situation
Tell me what you found inside
Asking about the discoveries made within the speaker
Was it the sting of my childhood that lingers
Wondering if the pain from the past still affects the present
Or my often misplaced pride
Questioning whether pride has caused problems
Did you come to the edge to see I'd
Did the listener come too late to witness the speaker's downfall?
Already taken my trip to the bottom
Indicating a personal journey to a low point or rock bottom
Was it solace you found when it was
Did the listener find comfort when the speaker was thinking of someone else?
Somebody else's name I was calling
Suggesting emotional detachment or infidelity
You weren't my worst decision
Rejecting the idea that the listener was the worst mistake
Not my deepest incision
Denying that the listener caused the deepest emotional pain
Take that however you want
Leaving the interpretation open-ended
You're another dry patch in my throat
Describing the listener as an insignificant obstacle
A hole in my already sinking boat
Portraying the listener as adding to existing problems
Take that however you want
Leaving the interpretation open-ended
You could hear me calling miles away
Emphasizing the speaker's call for help or attention from afar
Come take these nails out of me
Metaphorically requesting assistance in removing pain or hurt
You could smell the blood draining out and staining the dirt underneath
Imagery of blood loss and suffering affecting the surroundings
Did you come to the cross to see the
Did the listener come to witness the speaker's agony and suffering?
Hanging body of a broken mother
Referencing a broken, suffering figure
Did you kneel at my feet and carve your
Implies a lack of uniqueness in the listener's actions
Name in the wood with all of the others
Suggests the listener's insignificance among others who've left a mark
You weren't my worst decision
Rejecting the idea that the listener was the worst mistake
Not my deepest incision
Denying that the listener caused the deepest emotional pain
Take that however you want
Leaving the interpretation open-ended
You're another dry patch in my throat
Describing the listener as an insignificant obstacle
A hole in my already sinking boat
Portraying the listener as adding to existing problems
Take that however you want
Leaving the interpretation open-ended
Did you come to the sea to seek some
Did the listener come seeking healing for their own pain?
Salt for the wounds of your aching lover
Symbolizing trying to soothe the pain of a lover
Did you finally rest when you found me
Did the listener find peace upon discovering the speaker's suffering?
Lying on the shore both lungs full of water
Imagery of the speaker's near-death experience
You weren't my worst decision
Rejecting the idea that the listener was the worst mistake
Not my deepest incision
Denying that the listener caused the deepest emotional pain
Take that however you want
Leaving the interpretation open-ended
You're another dry patch in my throat
Describing the listener as an insignificant obstacle
A hole in my already sinking boat
Portraying the listener as adding to existing problems
Take that however you want
Leaving the interpretation open-ended
Take that however you want
-Take that however you want
