"Walk Me to the Bridge"
Song

Walk Me to the Bridge is the first single released by the Manic Street Preachers from the album Futurology. The single leaked in April 2014 prior to release.[1]

In an interview about the songs lyrics, bass player Nicky Wire was quoted as saying:

People might have the idea that this song contains a lot of Richey references but it really isn’t about that, it’s about the Øresund Bridge that joins Sweden and Denmark. A long time ago when we were crossing that bridge I was flagging and thinking about leaving the band (the “fatal friend”). It’s about the idea of bridges allowing you an out of body experience as you leave and arrive in different places.[2]
