Burning Bridges
André Andersen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you can't live on compromise, but you won't listen
Another time, another place
It's like a never-ending race and there's no reason
To waste your life away in one single day
Bridges are burning and chances are few
Man with the scythe, he is coming for you
Why can't you see that it's over?
I pulled you up, you let me down
I'm sick of dragging you around, it feels like forever
I'm going left, you're going right
Out of my life, out of my sight, it's now or never
Go waste your life away in one single day
Bridges are burning and chances are few
Man with the scythe, he is pointing at you
Stage is the same but some faces are new
Why can't you see that it's over?
Bridges are burning and chances are few
Listen, I'm trying to tell you that
Time's running out, God, but we never knew
Night's getting cold and your story is old, it's been told
I let you in, I turned you loose
I gave you lot's of time to choose to change the story
You are the snake around my hand
The one who used to be my friend, and now you're sorry
I've suffered all the way, you will today
Go, waste your life away in one single day
Bridges are burning and chances are few
Man with the scythe, he is coming for you
Stage is the same but some faces are new
Why can't you see that it's over?
Bridges are burning and chances are few
Waiting is over and this is your cue
Time's running out, God, but you never knew
Listen, I'm trying to tell you
This song, "Burning Bridges" by Andre Andersen, is a reflection on a relationship that has reached its breaking point. The singer, who has tried to encourage change and growth, has reached their limit and is urging the other person to move on with their life. They emphasize that compromise is not enough to sustain the relationship, but the other person refuses to listen. The singer has come to the realization that the relationship cannot continue and that the time has come to move on. The lyrics "bridges are burning and chances are few" suggest that there is no turning back, and that it's time for the other person to accept that the relationship is over.
The repeated phrase "go waste your life away in one single day" emphasizes the idea that the other person is not making good use of their time, and is holding both parties back. The use of the imagery of burning bridges and the man with the scythe points to the inevitability of the consequences of their actions. The lines "Waiting is over and this is your cue, time's running out, God, but you never knew" suggest that the other person may have been blind to the fact that the relationship was in trouble, but that time has now run out.
Overall, "Burning Bridges" is a powerful anthem about the cost of compromising too much in a relationship, and the importance of recognizing when it's time to move on.

You need to pay attention to me
