| Vienna Lyrics Artist(Band):The Fray
We smile for the casual closure capturing There goes the downpour Here goes my fare thee well There's really no way to reach me There's really no way to reach me There's really no way to reach me 'Cause I'm already gone Only so many words that we can say Spoken upon long-distance melody This is my hello This is my goodness There's really no way to reach me There's really no way to reach me There's really no way to reach me 'Cause I'm already gone Maybe in five or ten yours and mine will meet again Straighten this whole thing out Maybe then honesty need not be feared as a friend or an enemy This is the distance And this is my game face There's really no way to reach me There's really no way to reach me Is there really no way to reach me Am I already gone? So this is your maverick This is Vienna If you find some error in Vienna Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Thanks to Hilary for submitting the lyrics. Review about Vienna ???? | Reviewer: Göker | 4/23/09 Hi I'm from Turkey and i just wanted to ask you guys if there is any meaningful explanation made by the fray?Cos i love the fray but i struggle to understand what the heck they are trying to say in every one of their songs and ppl have different ideas bout em but i wanna know why they wrote the songs this way and what these mean to them. What It really means | Reviewer: Kat | 3/27/09 I say This song is about a LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP which DO NOT work out a majority of the time. There is a distance for both of them, and in between that distance are problems that cannot so easily be fixed when someone is so far away from you. He's claiming that he is already gone because they are so far apart to begin with. So when they met it was already fated to be goodbye. Maybe in 5 or 10 years they can meet up again and maybe work it all out? Vienna is his way of saying a place that is far and foreign to him. Vienna...truly great song | Reviewer: Ryan | 1/21/09 To Jeff below...very impressed by your take on the meaning of the song. I totally agree, but also a song can mean whatever it makes that particular individual feel. To each their own interpretation.

Vienna...the meaning | Reviewer: jeff | 1/8/09 I am a guy, middle-aged and living in the USA. take that for whatever it is worth. I will attempt to explain...from my own point of view...what this song means...and why it is titled; 'Vienna'. 1st...Vienna is in Switzerland if my rudimentary geography recalls correctly. Switzerland is known to be "NEUTRAL" in all global political intrigues...Nuff-said there. Next...as we all know...the most DIFFICULT of situations to circumnavigate without peril are the waters of PERSONAL DRAMA. If you happen to Captain the ship of a vessel afloat in these waters....GOOD LUCK...and I hope you have a will somewhere where someone will find it easily. Lastly... This is a person in love...afloat on those dark waters I mention above. They are alone. They are scared. -But they are resolute. They are wishing for an answer on the ship's radio...but resigned that it will not come... They are you....they are me. They are our "Maverick". -And....this is Vienna... girl of vienna, austria | Reviewer: katja from vienna | 1/13/08 hey guys! i am from vienna, austria. i love this song because it´s about my hometown, the place i love most on this earth and because it´s got the sentence "there´s really no way to reach me" in it. so often i feel that the frontman of fray feels like me, needing everybody to be far away from him. as he would love to be the only one on this earth because the last relation is just so and he needs time to make up his mind, not yet willing to trust anybody else because the last person he really trusted just disappointed him too bad. so to get back his trust to people he needs to be alone for a while. to get rid of all the memories stuck in the mind, which are not getting him any further. i don´t know if this is a good interpretation of the song but that´s the way i feel when i hear the song. anyway, i love it and i love this band! thx guys for such good music!! greetz to all fray fans!! hey! | Reviewer: hannah | 1/8/08 hey! im so confused. right...so i heard this song what i have labelled as "vienna" and i really loved it so i decided to look up the lyrics and i was like " waaaaat?? these arent the lyrics!" these are the lyrics for a song by the fray called "SOME TRUST!" so if these are the lyrics to a song called some trust, ehat are the actual lyrics for vienna?? help im confused!! anyone?? bye! xxxx Vienna!? | Reviewer: Youvan | 1/2/08 Great song, but my favorite one of the Fray is "How to save a life". I just heard it the first time in "Cold Case" - Fightclub" on TV ;-) Now back to Vienna. I'm from Austria, so my question is: Is this song really about THE AUSTRIAN capital VIENNA? Or do the Frey mean any other town called Vienna in the US? vienna | Reviewer: diana | 12/28/07 I really see this song as being the after occurence of the song Hundred. In Hundred, Isaac is talking about having problems in the relationship, they're trying to work things out but because their just unsure on where they stand, what to say or do things are very difficult between them. Now in Vienna it seems like he's realised that the relationship needs to end. They have communication problems & one or both people can't be truly honest about their feelings thus "maybe in 5 or 10 (years) yours & mine will meet again & straighten this whole thing out". "The day's last one-way ticket train pulls in" I think this could literally mean he's getting on the last train out for that day, or it's figurative for it being the final time he'll be leaving their relationship. The words "last" & "oneway" bear lots of importance here. He's saying it's the last time he leaves (they may have had breakups before but ended up back together) & there's no way of returning (one way ticket). "There goes the downpour Here goes my fare thee well" Usually when it's starts raining - pouring in this case - it's an indication that it's time to go, therefore he has to bid her farewell to catch the train OR it could mean things have become very emotional & one or both have started crying, so he needs to say goodbye & leave before he thinks he can't do it. "There's really no way to reach me, cos i'm already gone" I feel like he's saying, it doesn't matter what she tries to tell him, or if she convinces him not to leave it won't matter, she won't get it through to him because he's "already gone", already made up his mind & has for a while now. "Only so many words that we can say Spoken upon long-distance melody" There are so many things to be/could be said though they won't get a chance to say them.. they'll keep it inside through the time apart or think about it seperately in the 2 places they're at. "This is my hello This is my goodness" His goodbye is also his hello, & his goodness is in not completely closing the door on their relationship. [Maybe in 5 or 10 yours & mine will meet again] "This is the distance & this is my gameface" This is it, i'm going the distance. This is my gameface, he's trying to stay strong, just hold the pain inside & do what he needs to do. "Is there really no way to reach me, am I already gone?" He's questioning himself, Am I really doing this? Is it too late? I think even when we have our minds made up about a difficult decision, right before taking the first step, we stop & question it. Y'know, the old 'easier said than done' "So this is your maverick..." I've thought about this line for weeks. In a close relationship you become dependent on the other person or just used to them, so I see it as by him leaving, he's granting her independence hence "this your maverick", this is your indepedence.

"this is Vienna" Vienna is not only a big, beautiful city, but considered to be a place to find yourself & be whatever it is you want to be. So as they seperate they'll both have the chance to find (metaphorically speaking)Vienna in themselves, i.e. figure out who they really are. Vienna | Reviewer: Sara | 11/28/07 Hello! This song is simply about visiting Vienna for a short while, falling in love with someone there, and then having to leave to go back home to your own country. It's about leaving that person you're in love with, and how its hard. You want to make it work but it would hurt too much to even try, so you're not planning on it. But your thoughts conflict because you want to try. Hence, "theres really no way to reach me, i'm already gone.... IS there really no way to reach me? AM i already gone?" <3 Review By Pages: 1 2 Review the song Vienna The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
