The Great Divide
Velvetine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna get in
I wanna know you
You're scared to lose it all
I know who you've been
But I'll take a chance on you
You fight the light
You push it away
You're gone with the wind at the end of the day
But where are you going?
You play it safe
So there's nothing to win
I wanna come closer but you won't let me in
I wanna go where you're going
Pull me in tonight and stay forever
I wanna know the secrets of your heart
Let's begin tonight
It's now or never
Love won't happen til you try to cross the Great Divide
The lyrics of Velvetine's song The Great Divide speak to the challenge of breaking down emotional barriers and creating meaningful connections with others. The first verse acknowledges the presence of walls around the individual's heart, implying that the person is guarding themselves from getting hurt. However, the singer wants to connect with them and understand them on a deeper level despite this. The second verse describes the individual's tendency to push away light and play it safe, leading to a sense of stagnancy in their life. The chorus encourages the individual to take a chance and cross the "Great Divide" into vulnerability and emotionality, promising that love will follow.

Walls around your heart

You're scared to lose it all

I know who you've been
I am aware of your past and your struggles
But I'll take a chance on you
I am willing to risk my own emotional well-being to try and form a connection with you
You fight the light
You resist positive change and new experiences
You push it away
You reject opportunities for growth and healing
You're gone with the wind at the end of the day

So there's nothing to win
By not opening up and trying new things, you are missing out on potential rewards and growth
I wanna come closer but you won't let me in
