Lyrical Chatter: Owen - Abandoned Bridges

Heart ache, heart break; the few words that come to mind when thinking about Mike Kinsella, the man behind the solo moniker Owen. I've been a big fan of Owen since 2006, when I first started getting into music. With every release prior and afterwards, Kinsella has discussed some of the most disturbing stories you'll hear, except he can make them sound beautiful. A man with a mission behind an acoustic.

He's back at it again with the releasing of the Abandoned Bridges 7" vinyl that has found it's path to the internet like usual. The plastic includes a new track entitled 'Abandoned Bridges', along with a Wilco cover 'I'm Always In Love'. Without the lyrics in front of my eyes, this has become somewhat tricky to decipher what is being said while writing my thoughts down.

------------------------------------------------------

i left the party pretty early

i thought i'd go home

drink some wine and fuck myself

i didn't want to wake you

as a man, i've known a number of loves

some of which i'll die with,

some i'm not too proud of

i've lived, loved and learned

said fire to abandoned bridges and watched them burn

here i am, i'm all yours

i've had enough small talk and irony

i've had enough hermetic misogyny

i've had enough repeating history

i've had enough so i left the part.

i pulled matt aside and said, "it's time to go."

said "fire" to a room of friends I don't know

here i am, i'm all yours

------------------------------------------------------

To sum it up, Kinsella discusses about past relationships in which failed. He talks about his hatred for 'hermetic misogyny', in which means difficult to understand and hatred for females. He's had enough of repeating the same path and decided to lead a new life. He is now happily married with one child.
