Burning Bridges Lyrics
Merging with the shadows,
Flickering between the lines.
Stolen moments floating softly on the air,
Borne on wings of fire and climbing higher.
Moving on and changing sides.
Dreaming of a new day,
Cast aside the other way.
Magic visions stirring,
Kindled by and burning flames rise in her eyes.
The walls that once were high.
Beyond the gilded cage,
Beyond the reach of ties.
The moment is at hand.
She breaks the golden band.
stolen mormons eh? i believe it is "stolen moments"
yea, these lyrics are fucked, no wonder nobody has commented on this song. the actual words are much more moving.
Obscured by Clouds is a vastly underrated album by Pink Floyd, coming as it did between their best album (Meddle) and their most famous (Dark Side of the Moon).
While OBC can't stand up to either album it is next to, it is still very good, probably fitting in at eigth in the PF catalogue, right behind either The Wall or The Final Cut (both of which I immensely enjoy, if that says anything).
This is an excellent song, one of the best on the album. Could it be about dropping the bomb on Hiroshima/Nagasaki.
I know that people near the explosion vaporized, and you could see where they were standing because they left shadows imprinted on bridges.
Just a thought.
Great song from a great band, although it was a soundtrack, still it was a pretty good one.
It's about a woman who cheats on her husband, and maybe leaves him too
Some correction of lyrics Last line of first verse.. "Borne on wings..."
in second stanza..its "Ancient bonds are breaking" m not too sure if its about a cheating wife...
It seems that Demau Senae takes all of his lyrics from this site: http://utopia.knoware.nl/users/ptr/pfloyd/songs/songs.html That site also has "stolen mormons" and "ancient bulbs," the same mistakes that I have found in Fearless, and I'm sure that any other songs with mistakes are the same as those on this site.
Correct Lyrics (at least I think):
Bridges burning gladly Merging with the shadows, Flickering between the lines. Stolen moments floating softly on the air, Borne on wings of fire and climbing higher.
Ancient bonds are breaking, Moving on and changing sides. Dreaming of a new day, Cast aside the other way. Magic visions stirring, Kindled by and burning flames rise in her eyes.
The doorway stands ajar, The walls that once were high. Beyond the gilded cage, Beyond the reach of ties. The moment is at hand. She breaks the golden band.
I think inpraiseoffolly got it spot-on. In my opinion, this is one of Pink Floyd's best songs, and the album is also one of their best.
This song is amazing. Everything is so mellow it is perfect. It takes me to a different place. The whole thing is perfect. They do such a good job of evening their lyrics to the songs out like "stolen moments floating softly on the air. Its like stolen moments sucks but their floating softly on the air so it paints a more mellow picture. Less tension and stuff. I love it!
