Lyric discussion by duckadooz 

Cover art for The Flag lyrics by Barenaked Ladies

i think that the "there goes a - " part was the girl singing about how she's watching her life go by, but she's not a part of it, and she wishes she could do something about it, but again she's bound by this abusive relationship. i'm not sure, but i'd like to think that she's getting out of the relationship at the end. i tend to make up lots of stuff in a song that isn't really there, but if the "go train" is the right lyric that goes there, then maybe she's watching all this stuff go by on a train and that's her life and she's trying to see where she can jump back on?
