The Great Divide
Velvetine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walls around your heart
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

Overall Meaning

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,
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 till you try to cross the great divide…

Captain Murica Chillstep/Liquid Dubstep is where it is. This remix/song will be a classic.
