White Diamonds Lyrics

Cover art for White Diamonds lyrics by Friendly Fires

I'd say it's just about the various obstacles that young people passionately in love face in their relationships. I quite like the imagery in this song though. Obviously the looming black cloud would indicate future troubles. Not sure about the white diamonds though.

The last stanza says "don't hold your breath too long." Why? Because of the white diamonds in the snow. If you drop diamonds in the snow, you won't find them. The stanza is about a lost relationship.
