Additional info on some of the above artists...
1. Unicorn from the United Kingdom played country and folk rock. They broke up in 1977. Several of the bands album were produced by (and featured contributions by) David Gilmour of Pink Floyd.
2. Unicorn was a progressive melodic rock band from Sweden, fronted by Dan Swanö (Bloodbath, Edge of Sanity, Nightingale). They released two full-length albums (Emotional Wasteland and Ever Since), two EPs (After Before and The Weirdest of Tales), and two demos (A Collection of Worlds I and A Collection of Worlds II).
The band's style was a far cry from the brutal death metal Swano would later become known for. (Swano formed Unicorn as a young teen.) Unicorn is a very melodic, light progressive band. Nightingale comes closest to their style, though even Nightingale is much heavier.
Swano is currently working on a new project called Second Sky. He says Second Sky is the new Unicorn. An album is expected in 2009.
3. Unicorn (ユニコーン) is a Japanese band fronted by Okuda Tamio(奥田民生), active in the 80s and early 90s. During that time the band released eight albums and nine singles. The band reunited in 2009.

Nelson formerly of Bastard Noise (risen from the ashes of Man Is the Bastard) and Sleestak has released a split CD with noise artist 2673, a split CD with Bastard Noise, and a full-length titled "Playing with Light". Less harsh and more melodic than previous projects.

The group consists of K-Group's Kang Ye Seo (강예서), Kim Bo Ra (김보라) and Kim Chae Hyun (김채현), C-Group's Huang Xing Qiao (黄星侨), and J-Group's Kawaguchi Yurina (川口ゆりな).

Sally is now a soloist under the name Soseo and Gayoung is now a soloist under the name Mauve with the debut single My Cat.

At The End Of The Bridge
Unicorn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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.
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]
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.

I met you this winter day.
I encountered you on a cold day in the winter.
I came from a place faraway
I arrived from a distant place.
You gave me shelter and you held me warm. You gave me a hand to hold. The strength and the will to grow old.
You provided me with protection and comfort, and offered me support as I faced challenges in life.
When we were apart a day it felt like a year.
The time we spent apart seemed much longer than it actually was.
Oh, won't you understand that the time of your life isn't coming again.
Realize that you can't relive the past and achieve what you have already missed out on.
No use to runaway. There is no use to stay and there is nothing to gain anymore.
It's pointless to escape from or remain in a situation that offers no benefits whatsoever.
At the end of the bridge.
At the conclusion of a literal or figurative crossing or journey.
The white sand is running through the hourglass. I am abandoning you. Betraying the only one that was true. Now I've found another one to guard me and rock me to sleep. But it's your water in the tears that I weep...
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. 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.
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.
