The first verse is in fact about someone ready to jump from the Golden Gate Bridge. "With his back against the San Francisco traffic, on the (Golden Gate) bridge's side that faces toward the jail (Alcatraz). Sadly, the Golden Gate Bridge is the #1 suicide location in North America. I think this verse is meant to paint a picture of someone who has lost all hope. The next two verses are scenarios of people struggling to keep hope alive while struggling with their past and future, respectively. I totally agree: never take for granted the little things. Cheers! |

I love this song. I think the song is about hope and the different ways we process it. In the first verse, sadly, the guy jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge has lost all hope. In the second verse, the old man in the buffet line struggles to keep hope alive while wrestling with his past. In the third verse, the bride-to-be sees hope in a future married life in the face of a mundane present. The real beauty of the song is in how it paints three very different scenarios without judgement. It lets you, the listener, draw the conclusions. |
