| OneRepublic – Burning Bridges Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I know that the saying involving burning bridges is meant as an unpleasant ending of a relationship (usually business-related), but the entire song is extremely upbeat, and the way he sings sounds as though he's finally let go and accepted that she's the one for him. When he says "Set me on fire", the pitch and purity of his voice makes me think that it's a cleansing spiritual fire, maybe preparing him for the commitment of marriage. This song is just way too full of good-feeling to be anything other than a love song. |

| OneRepublic – Au Revoir Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Au Revoir means goodbye in French. The title, coupled with the opening tone & lyrics, would suggest a break up. However, while the relationship has definitely hit a breaking point, the song is really about creating a fresh start: "Let's play a game Where all of the lives we lead, can change" He's singing about their hopes & dreams, maybe what they had planned for themselves. What they're going through doesn't have to be the only way. He's willing to take all their baggage, whatever hurtful things that have been said, and just put it aside, "pack it up inside a box". All that really matters is that they do it ASAP. On a side note, I absolutely love it when a piano track makes on the album. |
