Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture chris the pirat Lead Player	#1 by chris the pirate. arr at Sep 29, 2007 at 2:18 PM EST
	yeah i agree. i think its about a realtionship where so much animosity has built up thats there is no turning back. "the castles we built were so tall" and "the glaciers have frozen your feet" refers to how so much has happened that they are pretty much stuck in their position, unable to go forwards or backwards. the singer is still hopeful, however, the outlook is very grim. a great, powerful song IMO.

No Picture Average	#2 by Riqu - at Sep 30, 2007 at 9:04 AM EST
	I think he's singing about having something built up so much (perhaps a relationship) and describing what it feels like when everything breaks down, but he still has hope that "maybe we'll come back someday"

No Picture anthony Average	#3 by anthony clark at Sep 30, 2007 at 9:46 PM EST
	I agree, this is a very powerful song.. one of my favorites ever.. I'm sure most of us have felt this way before :P

No Picture jimmy Wanna Be	#4 by jimmy henry at Oct 1, 2007 at 3:40 PM EST
	I agree. everything was going so well and it bult him up to have a lot of hope for the future, but when things got messed up all the good times just made the fall harder. you know like it's easier to get divorced after 2 years than 20. there's still hope for them though which is nice because he obviously still really loves her The castles we built were so tall They only left us further to fall And still I see them far away But maybe we'll come back someday Maybe we'll come back someday

No Picture Cicely aka Icic Badass	#5 by Cicely aka Icicles and CSkank Shankle (if u stalk me i will shoot you.) at Oct 6, 2007 at 5:09 AM EST
	amazing song

No Picture Dan Professional Badass	#6 by Dan Hudspith at Oct 8, 2007 at 9:39 AM EST
	completely amazing song, i can totally relate to it. as said earlier, i think it's about a once great relationship that is slowly falling apart. I really like how Matt Costa represents the breakdown of the relationship with castles washing away - really brings the song to the next level. 'Maybe we'll catch up someday' I like how this song isn't totally negative, but does give some hope for the relationship to get back on track. Thank you matt costa
