yeah, this song's about suicide, as are many of his songs - the divison day part, it could be to do with his fear of hell and the judgement day and stuff, but elliott also wrote a lot of his songs in portland, oregon. division is a huge street that cuts through southeast portland, so that in part could be where the name came from. the city is also split down the middle by the willamette river, with various bridges connecting it. suicide is made pretty accessible just by the pure number of bridges and their towering heights over the watery grave that so many before him experienced. he chose death by knife, but i'm sure each time he crossed on of those steel and concrete behemoths he thought about it...
