The Dangling Conversation Lyrics

Cover art for The Dangling Conversation lyrics by Simon and Garfunkel

such beautiful, beautiful lyrics. about two people in a relationship who are mutually inquisitive and intelligent, and thought themselves to be a perfect match. individually they havent changed, but they have lost touch with each other, grown apart, forgotten to feel in their quest for thought. they try to fill the emptiness where there love used to flourish with the "big questions", but both realize that it isnt working. i think "borders of our lives" refers to the fact that we are only human and can only do and understand so much in our time here on earth; that we need to make the most of the now and embrace those we love we lose them. also could refer to the walls we build up between ourselves and other people.

I think this is the most accurate interpretation of the song :) I agree with you
