Bridge
The Knight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all.
I'm on your side, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
When you're down and out, when you're on the street
When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you.
I'll take your part, when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Sail on silver girl, sail on by
Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way
See how they shine, oh if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind, oh
The song "Bridge Over Troubled Water" conveys a message of comfort, support, and unconditional love. The lyrics start off by acknowledging the struggles one might face in life, whether it be weariness, feeling small or experiencing sadness. However, the singer offers to be a source of comfort, someone who will be there to dry one's tears and provide solace. In times when it feels like nobody else can understand or offer help, the singer offers to be there like a bridge over troubled water, someone who will lay themselves down and provide a way to get through the difficulties.
The second verse continues the message of support and comfort, assuring the listener that they will be there to take their part when darkness and pain are all around. The singer offers to be a source of strength in difficult times and promises to lay themselves down like a bridge over troubled water. The final verse shifts the focus to a friend in need, specifically the "silver girl." The singer inspires and encourages the friend to "sail on" and reassures them that they will provide support every step of the way. The song's message is beautifully conveyed through the analogy of a bridge, a structural element that is often overlooked but essential in helping people cross tumultuous waters.

Fun fact: John Cleese wrote this scene because he hates the saying "you never truly lose until you give up"
@teardrop6392
Really? If so kudos to him, that quote always bothered me. At least it made this masterpiece of a scene.
@harryantino
@TheOverlord Billy I think it’s a good quote but when applied properly 😂
@noahshad7185
It’s a good saying if you use it right, if you are talking about a country vs country type of thing,
But in the way that he thought of it I see where he is coming from.

I love how Arthur remains so respectful and formal when he’s literally butchering the guy.
@SinAster_19
I mean when the guy is literally immortal I don't think losing your formality woukd be a good idea
@b1bis204
