I think this song is one of the least appreciated of HTDAAB...a far better tribute song then SYCMIOYO...really hits the heart hard...thoughts?
kingofsorrow said:lemme tell you fine folks a story. i liked this song, but never really "felt" it. until i heard it through the ears( not literally) of a friend.
this guy, in a space off 3 years has lost everything. his wife passed away, got into multiple car accidents, lost his friggin job, lost his home and had to file bankruptcy.
so i was doing some work on someone's car and asked him to help,it really my way of trying to help him out. so we get done and i'm driving him home and i was playing a U2 mix i have. O.S.C. comes on and at the end of the song he starts crying. i was like "dude what up?" he was,"that song. it's my life."
the part," I'm under a bridge in a rip tide. That's taken everything I call my own."
was him losing everything he held dear in his life.
the part, "I'm on an island at a busy intersection
I can't go forward, I can't turn back
Can't see the future
It's getting away from me
I just watch the tail lights glowing."
is him not knowing where his life is going. feeling lost. overwhelmed to the point off not caring.
i never even thought off the song in this context.
