| | 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 I look at it differently | Reviewer: person101 | 11/15/09 When i hear this song, i think of the holocaust. I am jewish, so i might be a little bias about it, but i really see it being interpreted like the holocaust. I think everyone brings a great point to this but here is my opinion: "The day's last one way ticket train pulls in. We smile for the casual closure capture." - When victims were brought into the camps they were never to leave again (one way ticket) - People inside camp capture them, knowing they will be killed, casually. "There's really no way to reach me Cause I'm already gone." - No way to reach/ change their fate, because the way they were born has made them already in line to the Nazi s. "Only So many words that we can say, spoken upon a long distance melody." - They weren't free, and they were trapped that way. "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" - The Nazi Party in total was thinking the genocide was not a big deal, and would be forgiven to improve the world in 5 or 10, but it wasn't" - "Victims thinking that the way they are shouldn't be feared, for they are normal and they wouldn't hurt anyone. They are just normal human beings, just like the nazis. - Distance to gas chamber, realization that they couldn't do anything and that their fate was already decided. - Putting on a game face in a way of hopelessness and acceptance. "This is Vienna" - Vienna is in Austria. 65,000 Austrian People were murdered in the Holocaust, and Austria's Government was Involved with the Holocaust. More about mental miles | Reviewer: April G | 9/17/09 I feel the song is more about a relationship that has grown emotionally distant than about real physical distance. For whatever it's worth, here's how I interpret it: "The day's last one-way ticket train pulls in We smile for the casual closure capturing There goes the downpour Here goes my fare thee well" -There is already no passion left, just a casual good bye with smiles. "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" -He has already checked out of the relationship and mentally moved on. He has made up his mind and won't turn back "Only so many words that we can say Spoken upon long-distance melody This is my hello This is my goodness" -There is nothing left to say about the relationship and everything said just increases their emotional distance from each other "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" -He is getting hopeful that maybe in 5 or 10 years they could start fresh as more mature people. Apparently honesty has been a problem in the relationship, maybe infidelity? He is ready for the distance and ready to move on-he puts on his "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?" -he is having that moment of panic and regret when a relationship ends that you have been invested in. He is thinking, is there REALLY not any way we could fix this and stay together? Should I give it one more try? "So this is your maverick This is Vienna" -He is saying that he will be a maverick-the one who will make waves and leave rather than stay and be unhappy. I guess the relationship happened in Vienna-one of the most beautiful cities in the world. long distance but not i miles. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/27/09 This song can be about a long distance relationship, but it can also be viewed to be about two ppl who are not in the same place in their lives or the relationship. their together in terms of mileage but mentally they are both very far apart. Things aren't working and it's time that he/or she moves on. What a fantastic song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/11/09 Ok, first of all, I'd like to say to Jeff that, even though he makes a valid point, Vienna is not in Switzerland. In fact, is the capital of Austria. Now, on the other hand, I pretty much agree with everybody that this is about a long distance relationship. ???? | 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...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!!
