| Bastille – Things We Lost in the Fire Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I feel like it's the singer and possibly a lover who gave everything for eachother, looking back on a shattered life. They see friends, family, and poessions that the two cared about, all leaving them. Things we lost to the flame Things we'll never see again All that we've amassed Sits before us, shattered into ash- All of the things they had, or people they knew are abandoning them These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire - Reapeating what the two lost/gave up for love We sat and made a list Of all the things that we have Down the backs of table tops Ticket stubs and your diaries I read them all one day- They had so much and just threw it all away When loneliness came and you were away Oh they told me nothing new, But I love to read the words you used These are the things, the things we lost- I feel as if the two ran off together because one of they were never together and wrote letters to one another, until they gave up on separation, met up, and ran off. I was the match and you were the rock Maybe we started this fire We sat apart and watched All we had burned on the pyre- The duo realize that this isolation together was caused by their leaving (You said) we were born with nothing And we sure as hell have nothing now (You said) we were born with nothing And we sure as hell have nothing now- They realize that they only have each other now Do you understand that we will never be the same again Do you understand that we will never be the same again The future's in our hands and we will never be the same again The future's in our hands and we will never be the same again- The singer is reassuring the other that their future is in good hands-their own. But he/she also wants them to know that this is drastically changing them both. Flames they licked the walls Tenderly they turned to dust all that I adore. -The leaving was quick to ignite and take everything away, and it's snowballing |

| Bastille – Bad Blood Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I feel like it's about two friends or lovers who had a really close relationship, but something happens to one of them, and the other is trying to get over it and cope with the pain of loss. The first part talks about they knew each other when they were young, creating a close bond and that the two impact each other, that the little things affect you for life. The chorus suggests that maybe the two had a falling out before it happened, and never got to say sorry or work it out, or that maybe they died in a particularly cruel or harsh way. "It's been cold for years, won't you let it dry," tells you that possibly they were reminded, or perhaps they brought it up on the news, still trying to figure out what it is, and the one trying to get over him/her just wants to forget. The next verse says that the more they remember the person, the more they feel like they're breaking, instead of coping. They still really miss the person (They've been friends since childhood/teenage years) and they hate whoever kill/abducted their lover/friend, and grow more and more angry, but they know they need to give up and go on The bridge is simply stating that they don't want to have anything to do with this anymore. He or she would simply like to forget it happened. |
