London Bridge is falling down, Falling down, falling down. London Bridge is falling down, My fair lady. We suppose it's pretty messed up to write an ode to shoddy civil engineering, but really, how bad could this be? Aside from all those suicides, nothing sinister ever happens on bridges! What It Actually Means: It's a song about starving children to death. There have been a lot of theories over the years as to what the collapse of the London Bridge in the song means. Some believe that it refers to Viking attacks back in the 11th century. As no documented records of such an attack on the bridge exist, however, we'll instead focus on a different interpretation: immurement. Don't know the term?
