Bridges
BROODS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gave you a minute
When you needed an hour
Chose to push it aside
Instead of leaving behind you
If any word that I said
Could have made you forget
I'd have given you them all
But it was all in your head

Now we're burning all the bridges now
Watching it go up in flames
No way to build it up again
And we're burning all the bridges now
'Cause it was sink or swim
And I went down, down, down

And we're burning all the bridges
Burning all the bridges now
And we're burning all the bridges
Burning all the bridges now

If I didn't hit it
Would you still say you needed me
Guess I walked right into it
Guess I made it too easy
If any word that you said
Could have made me forget
Would I get up off the floor
'Cause this is all in my head

And we're burning all the bridges now
Watching it go up in flames
No way to build it up again

And we're burning all the bridges
Burning all the bridges now
And we're burning all the bridges
Burning all the bridges now

Can we forget about it
Can we forget
Can we forget about it
Can we forget

Burning all the bridges
Burning all the bridges now
And we're burning all the bridges
Burning all the bridges now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Broods’s song “Bridges” tells the story of a broken relationship. The first verse describes a moment when the singer of the song attempted to give their partner time to process their thoughts, but in doing so, they created distance between them. The singer tries to make amends by offering countless apologies, but their partner refuses to forgive them, and in turn, the relationship crumbles. The chorus emphasizes the consequences of their actions: the bridges between them are now burning, and there is no way to repair the damage that has been done.


The second verse takes on a different perspective, revealing that the partner has also made mistakes, and the singer struggles with whether they would still need their partner if the situation was reversed. Ultimately, both parties are to blame for the relationship's downfall, and the song reflects on the difficulties of rebuilding a relationship after it has fallen apart. The repeated line, “Can we forget about it?” suggests a desire to move on and begin anew, but the burning bridges prevent them from doing so.


Overall, “Bridges” is a powerful and emotional song about the challenges of repairing a broken relationship, and the consequences that come with failing to do so.


Line by Line Meaning

Gave you a minute
I gave you some time


When you needed an hour
But you needed more time than I gave you


Chose to push it aside
I decided not to deal with the issue


Instead of leaving behind you
Rather than walking away or letting you go


If any word that I said
If any of my words


Could have made you forget
Could have helped you forget or move on


I'd have given you them all
I would have said anything to try to help


But it was all in your head
But the problem was within yourself, not something I could fix


Now we're burning all the bridges now
Now we're ending our relationship completely


Watching it go up in flames
Seeing it all fall apart and get destroyed


No way to build it up again
It's too late to try to fix things


'Cause it was sink or swim
It was a make-or-break situation


And I went down, down, down
And unfortunately, I couldn't keep our relationship afloat


If I didn't hit it
If I hadn't gotten involved in this situation


Would you still say you needed me
Would you still want me in your life?


Guess I walked right into it
I inadvertently made things worse


Guess I made it too easy
I was too willing to overlook the issues


If any word that you said
If any of your words


Could have made me forget
Could have helped me move on or let go


Would I get up off the floor
Would I be able to move on from this?


'Cause this is all in my head
Because the problem is within me, not something you can fix


Can we forget about it
Can we move on from this?


Can we forget
Can we let go of the past?


Burning all the bridges
Putting an end to any chance of reconciliation


Burning all the bridges now
Ending any possibility of fixing our relationship

I set this song as my alarm tone as the first words in the lyrics are "Gave you a minute, when you needed an hour..."

It's perfect as I am not a morning person.

@hanawana

Imagine living the way people in music videos do...

@HexadorZaras

That would be really fun and awesome☺️Don't you think?
Having an aesthetic life would be really nice, but were not perfect😕💜

@hanawana

Perhaps...

@hanawana

Yeah but not all music videos are beautiful and "aesthetic." Please check out my personal favourite "Black Hole Sun."
