Song Meaning of “Madison Square” by Lettuce
Madison Square is a song about a relationship in which two people no longer have feelings for each other because of the lack of communication in the relationship. There is a sense of sadness in the lyrics, as they reflect on how the relationship has gone downhill after spending time in the now-deceased Madison Square venue. The lyrics paint a picture of the city nightlife at Madison Square and how the protagonist’s relationship has now succumbed to its demise.
The song is a reminder to stay in communication with your loved ones and to cherish the time you have together, because it won’t always last forever – no matter how strong the connection may be. The narrator looks back fondly on when they were happy together, but realizes it’s too late to fix the broken relationship. Nothing can breath life into it again, as the Madison Square is now closed. The song reflects on how their failed relationship is quite like the Madison Square itself – fleeting and gone forever. Throughout the song, there is a sense of regret and longing for what could have been.
