Drumming Song Lyrics
There�s a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you�re around I swear that you could hear it It makes such an all mighty sound There�s a drumming noise inside my head that throws me to the ground I swear that you should hear it It makes such an all mighty sound Louder than sirens Louder than bells Sweeter than heaven And hotter than hell I ran to a tower where the church bells chime I hoped that they would clear my mind They left a ringing in my ear But that drum�s beating loud and clear Louder than sirens Louder than bells Sweeter than heaven And hotter than hell Louder than sirens Louder than bells Sweeter than heaven And hotter than hell Louder than sirens Louder than bells Sweeter than heaven And hotter than hell As I move my feet towards your body I can hear this beat it fills my head up and gets louder and louder it fills my head up and gets louder and louder I run to the river and dive straight in I pray that the water will drown out the din But as the water fills my mouth it couldn�t wash the echoes out But as the water fills my mouth it couldn�t wash the echoes out I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole Till there�s nothing left inside my soul As empty as that beating drum But the sound has just begun As I move my feet towards your body I can hear this beat it fills my head up and gets louder and louder it fills my head up and gets louder and louder There�s a drumming noise inside my head That starts when you�re around I swear that you could hear it It makes such an all mighty sound There�s a drumming noise inside my head That starts when you�re around I swear that you could hear it It makes such an all mighty sound Louder than sirens Louder than bells Sweeter than heaven And hotter than hell Louder than sirens Louder than bells Sweeter than heaven And hotter than hell As I move my feet towards your body I can hear this beat it fills my head up and gets louder and louder it fills my head up and gets louder and louder

This song is probably my favorite yet by Florence + The Machine.

That starts when you�re around
The Drumming noise to me, is her thoughts and feelings, collated into one mass, the drumming noise. It's basically desire, but more than just sexual, it's emotional as well. It's the sickening feeling you get when you see someone you utterly adore.
I ran to a tower where the church bells chime
I hoped that they would clear my mind
They left a ringing in my ear
But that drum�s beating loud and clear
There are references to the church, and religion in this song. To me, that's about repressed emotions and urges, the side of love that's held back, and not allowed free. She goes to the church, to religion, trying to 'clear her mind', in an effort to get rid of the drumming sound, the church bells do leave an impression in her head, but the drumming noise is still there despite that.
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
This means her desire is far larger and louder than anything else she could ever hear, nothing could match it. 'Sweeter than Heaven, and hotter than hell', ties into religion again, this would be better than heaven, but possibly more sinful than hell?
I run to the river and dive straight in
I pray that the water will drown out the din
But as the water fills my mouth
it couldn�t wash the echoes out
She either tries to cleanse herself in the river, or drown herself, whichever interpretation you prefer. But despite that, the echoes of the desire is still there, no matter what she does.
I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
Till there�s nothing left inside my soul
As empty as that beating drum
But the sound has just begun
Eventually she gives herself up to the noise, to the desire, till it's eroded everything else away, and she's just shell. The obsession had destroyed her life and herself, but it still continues. Despite everything.
That's my interpretation anyway, I like this song :)

"it fills my head up
and gets louder and louder"
The closer she gets to him, the more she wants him. Its aces.

"Louder than sirens" - could be police sirens.
"And hotter than hell" - could be a reference to where she could end up, in some people's belief.
And with the whole "As I move my feet towards your body", body makes it sound so lifeless, almost like her feet are approaching its place on the floor.
Then I took it that she felt remorse for what she'd done. She couldn't live with the guilt and, ultimately, the noise, so she attempted to drown herself:
"I run to the river and dive straight in
I pray that the water will drown out the din
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out".
Yeah, that's just my (rather morbid) take on it, haha. But I see what you guys are saying too. :)

it gets louder and faster as she moves her feat closer to him.
she's excited.
she goes to the river to try and cleanse herself afterwards because she sins,
but she can't forget about it.
she still wants more.
sex.
