So here's the whole song:
[Intro]
[Verse 2x]
There is a dream
I used to have
My dream swallowed me whole
There is a bridge
Where I hate to go
That is where I first saw her
[Riff 2x]
High on the bridge
I've seen her
Red hair shining
[Verse 2x]
There is a girl
I never knew
She was my aunt Viginia
They said that she
she just disappeared
They said I looked just like her
[Chorus 4x muted]
High on the bridge
I've seen her
Dancing and waving to me there
She smiled and raised her head
and she took to the air
[Verse 2x with distortion]
The is a dream
I can't escape
My memories come back to me
There is a hell
I can't escape
My memories come back to me
[Chorus 4x with distortion]
I hear the truth about it
pictures and headlines
Hidden away
I heard the truth about my real mom
Jumping from the bridge that day
[Bridge 4x with distorton]
Now I know why ever since I was three years old
been having the same nightmare
Now I know the truth about Virginia
and why she took to the air
[Verse clean]
[Play solo over verse clean]
Well that's about all of it.

| This song isn't based on a true story. But considering the kind of places that Art grew up in, a story like that would not be uncommon. And what's happening in his song is that he is having this nightmare of this woman jumping off the bridge when he was three. All his life he was told that his "aunt" Virginia just disappeared one day, whom he looks a lot like. He discovers, as he continues ot have the nightmare, photos and headlines hidden away that talk about a woman committing suicide. Then all his memories come back to him, and he now remembers that his "aunt" was actually his mom, and that she committed suicide by jumping off the bridge. | |
