Bridges Lyrics

The music video can help explain were the inspiration for this song came: getting friend-zoned and unrequited love in general which leads to the end of a relationship (burning that bridge).

I love this song because I think the lyrics are more profound then they are literal. I am "happily" married but can still relate to disfunctional relationship themes found in this song like:

Not being patient, pushing my feelings aside when I should have spoken up (chose to push it aside), and feeling helpless when you know that it doesn't matter what you say because the other person has to work it out for them self in their head.

If you want to think that "If I didn't hit it" is referring to domestic violence, emotional/physical abuse...yeah sure, whatever. I think you can adapt the lyrics many ways.

To me I see her hitting a detonate button, leading to the explosives on the bridge. I relate this to myself by saying "If I didn't react rashly, was more mature about 'it', would you still act the same?"

Basically, you should relate this song to your own life. Also I love how they artistically blend a passionate melancholy theme with a positive and energetic beat. Sick jam.
