[Announcements in an airport]




Overall Meaning

Breaking Benjamin's song Outro features an interesting element, which is the announcements in an airport. The lyrics don't follow a traditional structure, and they slowly transition into these announcements, creating a sense of finality and departure. The first verse sets the tone with the line "Can't go home again", indicating a change or loss. The second verse builds on this idea, with the line "All that's left is memories", emphasizing that the change has already happened, and there's no going back.


As the song reaches its end, the announcements start to take over, representing departure and a new beginning. The first announcement is for a flight departing to a new destination, while the second announcement calls out for a passenger to come to the gate, bringing a sense of urgency to this departure. The final announcement is for a final boarding call, signaling the end of this journey.


Overall, the use of airport announcements in the song creates a powerful metaphorical image of departing and leaving behind the past, no matter how painful it may be.
