Song Meaning of “The Bridge of Tears – Remastered” by Clannad
The Bridge of Tears – Remastered by Clannad takes us on a journey of sorrow and reflecting on life’s pain – a bridge of tears that we must all at one time or another cross. It is a song of deep wistful emotions that speaks to the heart’s desire to come and go freely, yet knowing that life is a transient one filled with ups and downs.
We feel the helplessness of accepting life’s hardships from the refrain that states: ‘Sometimes we must resign, and accept the reasons why, Destiny has designed, we must reluctantly comply’. We are advised to not be disconnected from one another and instead use the bridge made of tears to grow stronger: ‘Do not be ashamed, for we are the same, Let us rebuild our bridge, With tomorrow in our minds’.
This is a song of hope and resilience, of growing and learning from our experiences. This bridge of tears speaks to the fact that the loss of a loved one is never easy, and we must take strength from the bond shared to heal and find peace.
