Lyrics for Song: Burning Bridges
Lyrics for Album: Obscured By Clouds [1972]
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

Burning Bridges
Released in 1972 on the album Obscured By Clouds, "Burning Bridges" stands as a pivotal track in the early discography of Pink Floyd. The song exemplifies the band's transition from psychedelic rock to the atmospheric, progressive sound that would define their later work. Featuring the distinctive vocal style of Syd Barrett, the recording captures a moment of intense emotional vulnerability and experimentalism. Its inclusion in the 1972 release highlights the group's willingness to explore complex structures and lyrical themes during a formative period. While often overshadowed by their subsequent masterpiece, The Wall, this track remains a significant artifact of the band's evolution and the broader landscape of 1970s progressive rock. |
