Broken Bells
This song appears to be about the aftermath of a big event or moment in one’s life, perhaps a party or a relationship. The lyrics suggest a feeling of being lost and stuck in a cycle of uncertainty and unfulfillment.
[Verse 1]
After your faith has let you down
I know you'll want to run around
And follow the crowd into the night
But after the disco
All of the shine just faded away
Oh oh oh oh
Do what you want, do what you will
Don't tell me it's not our time
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm waiting here much too long and
Don't assume that I need your love
The chill of night has got you dancing away, and I'm
Not the dreamer or the dream you're out there looking for
[Chorus]
How did I get in this winding maze of love
And there's something wrong
Well it's sending you round and round
Still we go nowhere
[Verse 2]
I see the ashes on the ground
Another world is burning down
And under the cold and empty moon
But after the disco
All of the shine just faded away, ooh
Do what you want, do what you will
But you can't hide, ooh
Do what you want, do what you will
Don't tell me it's not our time
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm waiting here much too long and
Don't assume that I need your love
The chill of night has got you dancing away, and I'm
Not the dreamer or the dream you're out there looking for
[Chorus]
How did I get in this winding maze of love
And there's something wrong
Well it's sending you round and round
Still we go nowhere
