Bells
Hearts Awaken to Bells: Unveiling the Melodic Language of Longing
Lyrics
I know it's late
I acknowledge that it's late
I know the curtain's drawn over your window
I recognize that the curtains are drawn over your window
Maybe fate, or maybe just the tug of lonely made me call
Perhaps fate or the feeling of loneliness compelled me to call
But anyway, love, I'm hearing bells
Regardless, my love, I am hearing bells
I just thought you should hear the bells
I believe you should also hear the bells
Oh oh oh
Repetition of "Oh oh oh" for emphasis or emotional expression
Oh oh oh
-Oh oh I, I can hardly wait
I am eagerly anticipating
I woke up in a world that's suddenly heart-shaped
I find myself in a world that suddenly feels heart-shaped
Throwing you a line, send me back a sign, love
I'm reaching out to you, please respond with a sign of love
One by land or two by sea
Referencing the traditional phrase "One if by land, and two if by sea"
Oh Bells
Emphasizing the presence of bells and their sound in the narrator's heart
Nothing here but bells
-Ringing in my heart
-La la la la la la
-Meet me at the tower
Invitation to meet at the tower and swing out on ropes together
We'll hang on to the ropes and swing out
-Meet me at the tower
-We'll hang on to the ropes and swing out
-Bells, in my heart
Continued emphasis on the bells in the narrator's heart through repetition
Oh bells, in my heart
-Bum bum la la la la la la la
-Bum bum la la la la la la
-Bum bum la la la la la la la
-Bum bum bum bum bum
-I can feel the sky cracking in my heart
Expressing emotional turmoil with the sky cracking in the heart and uncertainty
It's falling to the pavement
-Don't know where to start
-So, let's go to the tower
Suggesting returning to the tower, climbing high, and encouraging love to climb high as well
One more time
-And Climb high, love, climb high
-Oh bells
Reiteration of the predominant theme of bells ringing in the narrator's heart
Nothing here but bells ringing in my heart
-In my heart
-In my heart
-In my heart
-La la la la
Repetition of "La la la la" for musical and emotional effect
