Bridge
Lo-Fi Spy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But a tí didn't answer the phone
The bridge was being dynamited
So the best was to ignore a tí
Now I see a tí in the battlefield
And I try to apologize
Mending all the harm no even wasting a rhyme
And a tí get near with awkward moves
You pull at me a machine gun
And a white flag pops out
Forgot how beautiful a tí are
I rather see a tí dead
That chase my own tail
Forgot how beautiful a tí are
I rather see a tí dead
That chase my own tail
I've tried calling a tí last night
And a tí weren't up late
Now a tí think the bridge was built in vain
And the need turns chronic, haven't a tí heard?
Within the danger there is the safety
Of what chances to take
(I) Forgot how beautiful a tí are
I rather see a tí dead
That chase my own tail
(I) Forgot how beautiful a tí are
I rather see a tí dead
That chase my own tail
Forgot how beautiful a tí are
I rather see a tí dead
That chase my own tail
Forgot how beautiful a tí are
You are, a tí are
You are
(I) Forgot how beautiful a tí are
I rather see a tí dead
That chase my own tail
(I) Forgot how beautiful a tí are
I rather see a tí dead
That chase my own tail
The song "Bridge" by Lo-Fi Spy is a reflection on the uncertainties and struggles of life, particularly during the process of coming of age. The opening lines, "When we were young/Taking time to believe/If only to survive/What you gotta believe," capture the idea of the naivete that often accompanies youth and the need to find something to hold onto in order to persevere through life's challenges. The repeated refrain, "All my bridges burning/Almost burnin' down/Burning to the ground/It's burning down," is a metaphor for dismantling the past and stepping into the unknown, which can be both liberating and frightening.
The singer acknowledges that the process of self-discovery and growth is filled with uncertainty and difficulty, and there may be times when one feels completely lost. However, they also express a sense of hope and determination to find their place in the world and be true to themselves. The line, "Try'n hard to believe/There's something more than me/Something outside myself/That wants me to be free," suggests a desire to connect with a higher purpose or higher power in order to find meaning and direction in life.
Overall, "Bridge" is a poignant expression of the journey of self-discovery and the challenges that come along with it. The song acknowledges the difficulty of leaving behind the past and stepping into the unknown, but also celebrates the hope and determination that comes with the pursuit of self-knowledge and personal growth.
