Cover art for Love Lost lyrics by Temper Trap, The

This song is a perfect replica of my relationship at the moment.

Its about two people who are going through things with one being more committed to the relationship and always trying despite the hostility and lack of hope from the other participant. 'I know it's hard But I can still hear it beating So if you flash your heart I won't mistreat it I promise'

The person who isn't trying has made the relationship up in their head from day one and has high expectations that aren't met and their 'love was lost' but the other person keeps on trying. 'Our love was lost In the rubble are all the things That you've, you've been dreaming of Keep me in mind When you're ready I am here To take you every time'

The person isn't ready and committed to the relationship and the trying partner cant appeal to them as they are to closed off. 'Your walls are up Too cold to touch it Your walls are up Too high to climb'

Sadly I cant tell if they get back together or separate. I wish the Temper Trap could have told us this as then I would know what to do.

The video clip also shows this. The boys are running through the woods appealing with their arms out to the girls. The boys are muddy and dirty from trying to do so, yet they keep going. Then the girls come in who are clean and perfect from not trying. The boys cant appeal to them and the girls run on a different path.

My Interpretation

"Sadly I cant tell if they get back together or separate. I wish the Temper Trap could have told us this as then I would know what to do."

Well they say "But now its found" throughout the song, so they probably did get back together, thank you for your comment! :D
