| Death Cab for Cutie – Bixby Canyon Bridge Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Before reading the comments on the Kerouac reference's, i had my own idea: I got the impression that Gibbard is writting about visiting a place where someone close to him had committed suicide. "At the place where your soul had died" The person had given up hope here. "And waited for you to speak to me And the silence, it became so very clear That you had long ago disappeared I cursed myself for being surprised That this didn't play like it did in my mind" He went to the place hoping for closure, but realised that he was in denial thinking going to the ridge would make him feel any better about everything. "No closer to any kind of truth As I must assume was the case with you" The person presumed he/she would find the answers to 'life' in death, but did not. That's that really. Just my interpretation... peace |

"You're a disgrace to the concept of family... You can deck out a lie in a suit but I won't buy it" When my father dies, I will get up and speak at the funeral as the son is expected to. And I will read these lyrics. And I will walk away. And I will be happy. |
