Part II:
Definitions of the Songs on the Album Bridge Over Troubled Water, by Simon & Garfunkel (continued)

6 - The Boxer - self inflicted beliefs of restrictions are realized; one's destiny is of his own making.

7 - Baby Driver - People equated with machines; a classic anxiety associated with innovation and progress.

8 - The Only Living Boy In New York - The impenetrable (immovable, consistent) nature of the urban subject, in contrast to their physical restlessness, results in delusions of isolation.

9 - Why Don't You Write Me - The urban subject, even removed from the urban environment, still suffers from isolation, but once 'grounded' he becomes the subject of desires of human interaction - meta-subjectivity.

10 - Bye Bye Love - Have not, want not.

11 - Song For The Asking - 'Art' is perfect when it is a construction of a void, into which the other (audience/viewer) can insert meaning.
