Bastille – Pompeii Lyrics 10 years ago
If you like his voice but not the sad tones of the theme here, you might like 'flaws' by the same artist. Very positive message about facing and overcoming our personal problems.

Bastille – Pompeii Lyrics 10 years ago
This song, like so many good ones, has many interpretations, and I love them all. However, I haven't seen my personal favorite yet:

It's about that singular moment between something terrible happening, and having to face the consequences. We've all been there; glass breaks on the ground, someone rear ends us while we're driving, a loved one dies--and we close our eyes just for a moment, delaying the inevitable acceptance.

We know we will have to ask ourselves, how am I going to deal with this? But if I close my eyes, I can pretend it didn't happen, just for a second...

It's the moment at the top of a very unpleasant roller coaster.
