The song Avenues by Max Jury is about a relationship that has faced difficulties and the struggle of letting go. The narrator is reflecting on a long year of challenges and disappointments and how it has affected their relationship. They describe snaking around town on a Saturday night and ultimately winding up back to their loved one. However, despite being in love, the fear of letting their partner fall has held them back. They recall waiting for each other to call, and how they were scared to let go. The narrator questions if simply being in love is enough and wonders if they should watch their partner go and be a ghost. The metaphor of an angel laying out in the snow with a picket white fence represents the innocence and purity of their relationship, but also how it has been impacted by external factors. Ultimately, the song highlights the challenges of navigating a difficult relationship and the internal struggle of letting go.
