Bridle Lyrics
Artist(Band):Sage Francis
(I want you to be happy and um,
that's like really what it comes down to
as one of my good friends in this world.
Um, I mean I hope that whatever happens that you
will be, like real happy not some sort of snake
that like, isn't happy you know)
Maze broken
She’s runnin’
Feet swollen
He’s comin’
She’s stolen
And before he even knows it she’s gone.
Tea cups sittin’ on the hollow tree stumps
He’s dumped, and can’t seem to swallow these lumps
The beat goes on…
Same fire
New passion
Old flame
Trade it in for a summer fling
There’s nothing like that sweet old song…
Tip over
Root the trees
Bend the leaves
Blend in with the open wound
The freeze frames keep him warm…
The day’s frost is scraped off the weight loss
The new sign that says keep off
As he speeds off into the storm…
Out of spite the lighting strikes him twice
He’s peaking out on the pike and cheatin life
Peeling out on the lawn
Now he’s idling
And time is dwindling
In his mind he’s figuring out life’s about the little things
And his labyrinth
And all his magnificent can only keep the mice trapped
The princess is innocent
She doesn’t belong…
(I never thought I’d miss you)
They had a ceremony where he put her in a bridle, the headstall…
She stopped to think for a minute, and in a split second went AWOL.
(I never thought I’d miss you)
He draws in the chin as in a expression of resentment or scorn
He’s pullin’ on the reigns, the bridle, the shower the storm
The maze, the high tower, clouds are at war…
The reigns, the bridle, the shower, the storm…
The maze, high tower, clouds are at war
The reigns, the bridle, the shower, the storm…
The maze, the high tower, clouds are at war, clouds are at war, clouds are at war...
(I never thought I’d miss you) – repeat 3x

Review about Bridle
bridled by a broken bridle | Reviewer: Ambrosia | 1/21/2008What I heard when I listened to this song was a squeal of a person choked by the answer to the riddle of a broken “bridle” that separated him long ago from his fiancé, who left him without an official leave of absence (AWOL). The “voice message” in the intro, I think, broke the “maze” created by the sudden disappearance of the woman she loved and she still loves.
Apparently, the speaker had experienced the cheating twice and wrought by the same guy (If he’s a butchered pork, he was, so to speak, murdered twice with the same knife: “double dead”):
“Same fire
New passion
Old flame
Trade it in for a summer fling
There’s nothing like that sweet old song…
Tip over
Root the trees
Bend the leaves
Blend in with the open wound
The freeze frames keep him warm…
The day’s frost is scraped off the weight loss
The new sign that says keep off
As he speeds off into the storm…
Out of spite the lighting strikes him twice
He’s peaking out on the pike and cheatin life
Peeling out on the lawn”
At the end of the verse, he decides to pull the “bridle” that choked him, that still chokes him. However, it was not his “fiancé” or “woman” whose at the other end of the bridle, but “reigns”, “shower”, the “storm”, the “maze”,
“high tower”. The “divorce” didn’t angered two people, but the clouds:
“He’s pullin’ on the reigns, the bridle, the shower the storm
The maze, the high tower, clouds are at war…
The reigns, the bridle, the shower, the storm…
The maze, high tower, clouds are at war
The reigns, the bridle, the shower, the storm…
The maze, the high tower, clouds are at war, clouds are at war, clouds are at war...”
For me, this is the most poignant part of the song, as he realizes that the he was never really tied to the heart of the person he loves but only to bridles, the clouds, the reigns, high tower and shower. Hence when he hauled the bridle, all of them fell simultaneously, aggravating his despair.
I liked the repetition in the end. It made it more emotionally pleasing. It stressed the solitude of the persona, showing that he was so alone so much so that he had to ask nature to mourn with him. And what I loved most with Sage Francis is his use of images. He wraps strong passions in creative images that both appeals to the senses and the soul.
I may have heard a squeal as when I heard the song, as I’ve said earlier, but one that muses, controlled with the melody and the metaphors of the sagacity of sage.
Sage Francis continues to assert the dignity of hip-hop in this song. He is a revolution in rap.
