Death Cab for Cutie
Bixby Canyon Bridge
I descended a dusty gravel ridge
Beneath the Bixby Canyon Bridge
Until I eventually arrived
At the place where your soul had died.
Barefoot in the shallow creek,
I grabbed some stones from underneath
And waited for you to speak to me.
In the silence it became so very clear
That you had long ago disappeared.
I cursed myself for being surprised
That this didn't play like it did in my mind.
All the way from San Francisco
As I chased the end of your road
'Cause I've still got miles to go.
And I want to know my fate
If I keep up this way.
And it's hard to want to stay awake
When everyone you meet, they all seem to be asleep
And you wonder if you're missing a dream
You can't see a dream
You can't see a dream.
You just can't see a dream.
A dream
And then it started getting dark.
I trudged back to where the car was parked
No closer to any kind of truth
As I assume was the case with you.
Question: What do these lyrics mean to you?
