Vienna Lyrics
The day's last one-way ticket train pulls in
We smile for the casual closure capturing. Here comes the downpour There 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 could 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 But this is the distance And this is my gameface 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 So this is your maverick And this is Vienna

" There's really no way to reach me
‘Cause I'm already gone"
but that's just to me.

And can I also say that I have been to Vienna and listened to the song as I was stepping out into the city and it was a perfect moment...the song fits in so well with the actual city. I went in January of last year, and the city was dark and sad and completely beautiful, just like the song.

I also see it like this: this girl hurt this boy, and he is too hurt to fix things [there's really no way to reach me. I'm already gone].

Btw, the lyrics go
"There goes the downpour"
not
"Here comes the downpour"
that's what my song sounds like anyways.
Have fun with it.

But maybe that's just cause it mentions Vienna, which makes me think of Europe.
It's such a pretty song, and so emotional.

"So this is your maverick
And this is Vienna"
Is this just a reference to distance?

"So this is your maverick
And this is Vienna"
I do not agree with morgan macd that the person being left behind is the maverick but instead the singer/narrator is the maverick. saying this is YOUR maverick makes me think she liked that he is a maverick and this is th outcome of that (kinda weak I know).
And this is vienna! That is a bit easier in my opinion. When I think of vienna I think of a beautiful city with everything that you could want (culture, life, and so on); but the city is sinking into oblivion. He is saying that the relationship is like vienna. It seems perfect and perhaps is but for some reason the relationship is sinking like vienna will be no more.
Tell me what you think

"Vienna, Austria" is an area where a portion of the Holocaust happened.
"The day's last one-way ticket train pulls in..."
When the prisoners were being brought to camps, it was for many, a one-way ticket train.
"There goes the downpour... There goes my fare thee well"
Men from women, familys from familys, people from themselves. It's goodbye, and knowingly, for good.
"There's really no way to reach me"
There was absolutely no way to contact anyone inside the camps, and no contact going out either.
"'Cause I'm already gone"
By the time the liberators got there, a lot of people had already died.
The entire second verse makes me think of the prisoner's screaming from help from foreign countries to come in and save them from the situation.
The bridge "Maybe in five or ten..." seems like a plee to end the war. Maybe in five or ten years this will be straightened out and honesty need not be feared as a friend or an enemy -- truth hurts, but it builds strong lasting solid relationships.
And lastly, "so this is your maverick. this is vienna".
Maverick means indepence, doing what you will when you will.
Saying, the rest of the world may have it's fancies and riches and freedoms, but this is just Vienna. The hell they live is not a maverick, it's simply, Vienna.
If you read this meaning and then look up "Vienna" you wont find much of a definition more than that of it being a City in Austria. I think this song creates one.
What do you think...?

I can completely understand this, the "there is really no way to reach me" is completely understandable, you feel like there is no way the girl will be able to understand you, because no one ever has, and she will probably no different - pessimistic, a bit.

The parts that reach out the most to me are "Maybe in five or ten yours and mine will meet again" and "Maybe then honesty need not be feared as a friend or an enemy" When you can put simple average words together and make them sound beautiful, and poetic, then you are a special music artist. Only few can capture the essence of life and the Fray is one of those few.

The author, who is leaving, has become tired of trying to work it out: "there are only so many words that we can say", but also knows that there isn't really a "fare thee well" either.. there just isn't a way right now to make it work out. The reference to Maverick, to me, means that the author wanted to break free of the mold, make the relationship work despite all the barriers that were in the way, but the other just couldn't do it. But he is still hopeful. He offers that his leaving is also "my hello" and "my goodness" meaning that the door isn't really closed either... hence the bridge talking about 5 or 10 years.. when they are older, they won't run from the simple truth of their love.
What I always wonder is why people fight love.. why do people fight it off or throw it away when they find something as wonderful as whatever inspired this song.
