My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind
My love, you have found peace
You were searching for release

You gave it all
You gave into the call
You took a chance and
You took a fall for us

You give thoughtfully, loved me faithfully
You taught me honor, you did it for me

Tonight you will sleep for good
You will wait for me my love

Now I am strong (Now I am strong)
You gave me all
You gave all you had and now I am home

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind
My love, look what you can do
I am mending, I'll be with you

You took my hand and added a plan
You gave me your heart
I asked you to dance with me

You loved honestly
Did what you could release

I know in peace you go
I won't relieve this love

Now I am strong (Now I am strong)
You gave me all
You gave all you had and now I am home

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, I'll be with you

    I had to pull over today because I was sobbing to this song. My mom is struggling with a rare form of lymphoma and idk this song reminds me of her, and things are so hard, i just don't want her to be gone.

    I'm not sure, but I think the lyrics are: My love, leave yourself behind beat inside me, leave you blind My love, you have found peace you were searching for relief You gave it all, gave into the call you took a chance and you too the fall for us You give thoughtfully, love me faithfully you've taught me honor, you did it for me Tonight you will sleep for good You will wait for me, my love I am strong, you gave me all You gave all you had and now I am home My love, leave yourself behind beat inside me, leave you blind My love, look what you can do I am mending, I'll be with you You took my hand, added a plan Gave me your heart, I asked you to dance with me You loved honestly, gave what you could release I know in peace you'll go I hope relief is yours Now I am strong, you gave me all You gave all you had and now I am home My love, leave yourself behind beat inside me, I'll be with you This song sort of sounds like a goodbye to a parent, so I'm not sure how this will be incorporated into the Twilight Saga: Eclipse movie.

    Like someone else, I did wonder how this song fit into Eclipse... And Dreydon mentioned a 'goodbye to Jacob', so I'm now thinking along those lines. It seems far too 'sad' to be an Edward/Bella piece. And I'd actually prefer it if it was a Jacob-related one since he's my fave character :P Hehe. Regardless, this song is stunningly beautiful. Sia's voice conveys such raw emotion, and the strings and the piano complement perfectly. I could listen to this all day!

    The beauty about art is that it is open to interpretation. My thoughts on why this song fits during the scene wear Edward proposes to Bella and she accepts in Eclipse is because it seals the deal for their love. Bella desires to sacrafice her human life to be with Edward forever. The song is about death, so the underlying message is a bittersweet message about dying for her love to become a vampire and leaving her human family and friends behind.

    My Interpretation
    I dont think this has anything to do with Edward, it has something to do with Jacob. The song is foreshadowing Jacobs "almost death"{aka at the end of the battle when in the movie Jacob screams bloody murder when he phased back} My love, leave yourself behind Be inside me, leave you blind My heart, you're the fair breeze You were searching for a lead ( Bella practically emotionally died when she saw Jacob in pain) ("You were searching for a lead" he wanted to be bellas he wanted to be the lead) You gave it all, gave into the call You took it dancing, you took the fall for us Looking thoughtfully, at me faithfully You taught me honor, you did it for me ( he gave it all(life) he did it for Bella) To let you will sleep away You and I, pouring my love Now I am strong, you gave me all You gave all you had, and now I am love My love, leave yourself behind be inside me, leave you blind My heart, look what you can do I am under here, I'll be with you You too my hand, and added a plan You gave me your heart, I asked you dance with me You left all the sea, left a good breeze (he gave her his heart. and the dancing part happened at Bellas wedding in the book):) I know, you need to go I know, grievance is yours Now I am strong, you gave me all You gave all you had, now I am love My love, leave yourself behind Be inside me, I'll be with you (Jacob had to go and leave at the end of Eclipse) TEAM JACOB <3

    Song Meaning
    i think this song could not only be about death, but also the ending of a relationship: My love, you have found peace you were searching for release - the difficult relationship is over. Now I am strong (Now I am strong) You gave me all You gave all you had And now I am home - they had their relationship and she is content with how it ended. he gave her all she wanted You took my hand, added a plan You gave me your heart I asked you to dance with me You loved honestly Gave what you could release I know in peace you'll go I hope relief is yours - i think its a somewhat positive break up song, where the 2 partners are ok with the way it ended it, or she hopes that he finds their breakup a relief instead of something negative just my interpretation :)

    to me, this song is about finding that someone who has given him/herself to you fully. finding that one person who has done and would do so much more for you. give you all. and now you have come to realisation. and you are asking telling this person you are as ready and as committed into giving this relationship everything. for Eclipse/Twilight fans, i think this song could possibly be actually from Edward's point of view. she has taken his hand, she added the plan (of being with him, changing to be like him, etc), and gave her heart to him, and he asked her to dance to his song/beliefs (like asking her to stay human for him bla bla bla etc). but now, he asked her to marry him, and she agrees on the condition he changes her. and so now, he knows, that from now on she will be forever with him with that vow. or it could also be from Bella's view, he gave her his heart, he added the plan (of being with her forever, but keeping her human bla bla bla), and he gave her his heart, and she asked him to dance with her (ie. to change her, dance to the same song now). i guess, you get my drift? either way, i think this is a great song. could be about death. at first, i thought if i heard this song if and when either of my parents die, i will break down. enjoy!

@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
