Eternal Echoes: Biffy Clyro's Heartfelt Ode to Love's Fragility
Lyrics
The sun shone in, the glint in your eye
The speaker notices the brightness in someone's eye as the sun shines in.
Your beautiful face, your beautiful face
Repetition emphasizing the beauty of the person's face.
I held her tight, close to my heart
The speaker holds someone close to their heart.
I didn't know it would break, I didn't know it would break
The speaker didn't anticipate the emotional pain of the relationship breaking.
I don't believe there's love anymore, it's all inside
Expressing disbelief in the existence of love, feeling it's internalized.
We always said it's forever in this beautiful life
There was a belief in the eternal nature of their relationship in this beautiful life.
And I'll try not to feel this music's for you and over, and over, and over
The speaker tries to suppress emotions, possibly related to the pain of the breakup, using music as a distraction.
And I'll try not to feel this music's for you and over, and over, and over
Reiteration of the attempt to block feelings through music.
I held her tight, close to my heart
Repetition indicating the intimacy of holding someone close to the heart.
I didn't know it would break, I didn't know it would break
Repetition of not foreseeing the pain of the relationship ending.
I don't believe there's love anymore, it's all inside
Reiterating the disbelief in the presence of love, feeling it's contained within.
We always said it's forever in this beautiful life
Reaffirmation of the belief in eternal love in life's beauty.
And I'll try not to feel this music's for you and over, and over, and over
Continued attempt to suppress emotions through music.
And I'll try not to feel this music's for you and over, and over, and over
Reiteration of using music as a mechanism to cope with emotions.
And over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over,
Repetitive emphasis on the enduring nature of the situation or emotions.
and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over,
-and over, and over, and over...
-It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright!
Final reassurance or attempt to find solace by affirming that everything will be okay.
