Montreal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where I began to feel inside
The gray sadness of winter.
When you told me that this isn't it,
And I drove away.
Walking to the statue in the park,
Through snow drifts up over our knees,
We sat by the statue.
You looked in my eyes,
Then said, "I'm so sorry."
Later, laying on your bed,
Wondering what's going wrong.
Every time I'd ask you'd start crying,
And whisper, "I don't know why,
I only know what I feel,
What a voice says to me"
I may be here now
But I've never left Montreal
In Montreal, the singer reflects on their time in the city and the emotions they experienced during their stay. The song starts with a poetic portrayal of how Montreal made them feel. The singer talks about the winter and the gray sadness that they felt. It's not entirely clear what made them feel this way, but it seems to be related to a conversation they had with someone. This conversation seems to have ended a relationship or caused a significant emotional shift, causing the singer to drive away from Montreal.
The singer then recounts a walk through a park, where they and their companion went to see a statue. The setting is picturesque, but the language used suggests that the walk was not an easy one, with snow drifts up to their knees. The fact that every street sign is written in French also indicates a sense of foreignness or otherness, perhaps adding to the singer's feeling of alienation. Amidst this walk, the companion apologizes, suggesting some sort of reconciliation or closure.
The song culminates in a scene where the singer and their companion are lying on a bed, with the singer trying to figure out what went wrong. Their companion begins to cry and says that they don't know why things happened the way they did, only that they were following an inner voice. The last line of the song is a poignant one, as the singer declares that though they may not be physically present in Montreal anymore, they have never truly left it behind.

Montreal is
The song is set in Montreal
Where I began to feel inside
The singer started to experience emotions in Montreal
The gray sadness of winter.
Winter in Montreal brought melancholy to the singer
When you told me that this isn't it,
Someone told the artist that something wasn't right
And I drove away.
The artist left Montreal
Walking to the statue in the park,
The singer and someone else were walking to a statue in a park
Through snow drifts up over our knees,
The snow was so deep that it almost covered their knees
And every street sign written in French.
All the street signs were in French
We sat by the statue.
They sat next to the statue together
You looked in my eyes,
The other person looked the artist in the eyes
Then said, "I'm so sorry."
The other person apologized to the singer
Later, laying on your bed,
The artist and the other person were on a bed later
Wondering what's going wrong.
The singer was trying to figure out what went wrong
Every time I'd ask you'd start crying,
Whenever the singer asked, the other person would start crying
And whisper, "I don't know why,
The other person didn't know why
I only know what I feel,
The other person only knew how they felt
What a voice says to me"
The other person had some inner voice guiding them
I may be here now
The singer is currently somewhere else
But I've never left Montreal
Despite physically leaving, the singer feels that they never truly left Montreal

I did most of the items on the list when I traveled to Montreal, and I wasn't disappointed in any of them. And, I found Montreal to be great for tourists in regards to getting around by walking, bicycling, and public transit.

Best place to visit in Montreal is the airport or the railway stations so that you can get back onto a train or an airplane, and go to a different city.
