Intense
Armin van Buuren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sound of silence I can take anymore
Nobody ringing my telephone now
Oh how I miss such a beautiful sound
And I don't even know how I survive
I won't make it to the shore without your light
No I don't even know if I'm alive
Oh, oh, oh without you now
This is what it feels like
Nothing to hold but the memories and frames
Oh they remind me of the battle I face
Without your love, without you I drown
Somebody save me I'm going down
And I don't even know how I survive
I won't make it to the shore without your light
No I don't even know if I'm alive
Oh, oh, oh without you now
This is what it feels like
And I don't even know how I survive
I won't make it down the road with one headlight
No I don't even know if I'm alive
Oh, oh, oh without you now
This is what it feels like
The lyrics to Armin van Buuren's song Intense describe the feelings of a person who is struggling to cope with the absence of someone they loved deeply. The song begins by highlighting the emptiness in the person's life as there is nobody knocking at their door and no incoming calls on their phone. The silence is deafening, and the person misses the sweet sound of their loved one's voice. The second verse talks about the person's memories and frames that remind them of the battle they are facing. They feel as though they are drowning without the love and support of the person they are missing.
The chorus emphasizes the person's dependence on their loved one's light to guide them through the darkness. They are uncertain about whether they can survive without them and feel as though they are barely alive. The comparison to the feeling of drowning without the person's love is poignant and emphasizes the intensity of their emotions. The bridge continues with the motif of survival, highlighting the difficulty of navigating the road with just one headlight. The person is uncertain about whether they can make it without their loved one and feels lost without them. The lyrics are a testament to the powerful hold that love can have over a person and the pain that comes with its absence.
