| Florence + the Machine – Never Let Me Go Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
To me, this song's about feeling so unwanted in life that she commits suicide by drowning. And it's peaceful in the deep 'Cause either way you cannot breathe No need to pray, no need to speak Now I am under She's finally finding some kind of peace from whatever she was going through, and no longer feeling the need to pray for release or speak to explain herself Oh, and it's breaking over me A thousand miles out to the sea bed Found the place to rest my head She's found the place she wants to be, far away from anyone else who might try to hurt her. (Never let me go, never let me go Never let me go, never let me go) This is her begging the ocean never to let her go, to keep her safe in oblivion and death and not just wash her up on a shore. And the arms of the ocean are carrying me And all this devotion was rushing over me And the crushes are heaven for a sinner like me But the arms of the ocean deliver me For me, this says that the ocean is pulling her in, devoted to her, which no-one ever was in her life. The crushes are heaven might mean that the ocean crushing her is like heaven because it's punishing her for what went wrong. Though the pressure's hard to take It's the only way I can escape It seems a heavy choice to make But now I am under, oh It's hard to go through with it, but it's the only way she can escape from the hell of her life. To others, it might seem like too heavy a choice, but she doesn't regret it. And it's over and I'm going under But I'm not giving up I'm just giving in I think that this means she's not giving up what she had, she's giving in to what she wants. Oh, slipping underneath So cold and so sweet I heard this as sleeping; showing the ocean as a bed, something comforting, as if dying's like a dream. In the arms of the ocean, so sweet and so cold And all this devotion, well, I never knew at all And the questions I have for a sinner released As the arms of the ocean deliver me She finally dies; she's been released from her sins, and the ocean's giving her all the devotion she never had. |
