At The End Of The Bridge
Unicorn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I met you this winder day.
I came form a place faraway
You gave me shelter and you
Held me warm. You have me a
Hand to hold. The strength and
The will to grow old. When we
Were apart a day it felt like a year.
Oh, won't you understand that the
Time of your life isn't coming again.
No use to runaway. There is no use
To stay and there is nothing to gain
Anymore. At the end of the bridge.

The white sand is running through the
Hourglass. I am abandoning you. betraying
The only one that was true.
Now I've found aonther one to guard me
And rock me to sleep. But it's your
Water in the tears that i weep...

Oh, won't you understand...

I send you my love through the stars in
The sky. Because they shine over over me and
They shine over you. You are a part
Of my heart and I miss you a lot. You
Remind me of things that I thought I'd
Forgot. Whatever I see I'm comparing
With you but I must leave now my friend
And explore something new. So I send
You my love through the wind and the rain
So that the sidewalks will know, that I will walk
There again someday, someday.

Understand me....





[Music by Unicorn, Lyrics by Dan Swano]

Overall Meaning

The song "At The End Of The Bridge" by Unicorn is a heartfelt recount of a relationship that wasn't meant to last. The lyrics speak of a chance encounter that occurred during winter, with the singer coming from a faraway place. The other person in the relationship provides shelter and warmth, offering a hand to hold and the will to grow old together. The distance between them, even if it was just for a day, felt like a year. However, the singer realizes that the time of their life isn't coming back, and there's no use in running away or staying - there's nothing to gain anymore at the end of the bridge.


The bridge is a metaphor for the end of the relationship, where the white sand is running through the hourglass with the singer abandoning the one who was true, betraying them for someone else, who now guards them and rocks them to sleep. Even though they have found someone else, the tears they weep are from the water of the previous relationship. They send their love through the stars in the sky, a reminder that the other person is always in their heart, and that no matter where they are, they will walk on those sidewalks again someday.


Overall, the song speaks of the complexities of love, and how sometimes, even when you have found someone else, the previous relationship stays with you, reminding you of the things you thought you had forgotten.

Time is slipping away and I am leaving your side, despite the fact that you were the only faithful person in my life. However, the tears I cry are for you, not the one who is now comforting me in your place.


I send you my love through the stars in the sky. Because they shine over over me and they shine over you. You are a part of my heart and I miss you a lot.

I express my affection for you by imagining that the stars in the sky radiate their brilliance onto us both. You are dear to my heart and I am feeling nostalgia, as you remind me of what I thought I had lost. Although I compare everything I see with you, I have to say goodbye and venture off into the unknown. I impart my love through the weather so that everyone, including myself, knows that I will return there someday.


Understand me....
Comprehend what I am trying to express.
