Stone Bridge
Fenech-Soler Lyrics

The lyrics to Fenech-Soler's song "Stone Bridge" are hauntingly evocative, and full of vivid imagery that appears to capture the feelings of mistrust and paranoia that we all feel in our lives. The opening lines are particularly striking, as they speak of the need to avoid the gaze of others, to keep one's head down, and to remain invisible in a world that is often hostile and unforgiving. The next lines suggest that there is a narrative being written, a story about how we came to be in this place, this time, and this world.

As the song progresses, the mood shifts to something more dramatic, more intense. The ground shakes as we run, and light flashes as the danger closes in. At this point, the singer declares that they can either swim or die, and that stone bridge is just a through away. There is a sense of urgency and desperation here, as if the world is closing in and there is no escape.

The final verse of the song is perhaps the most powerful, as it speaks of the fear that all of us share, the sense that we are losing ourselves and our sense of purpose in a world that is constantly changing. The line "What have we done? All our qualities have disappeared" is particularly striking, as it suggests a deep sense of loss, a sense that we have lost sight of what is truly important in our lives. Ultimately, the song seems to be about the struggle to remain true to ourselves in a world that is often overwhelming and difficult to navigate.
