Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the lights go down
I'm shackled to the cell, to the cell
If it falls apart
If it falls apart
They will haunt me down
Haunt me down
When all been said and done
Then what do we become
Till you remain in love
Till you remain in love
Anything you are
I'm not here to make you stay
I'm not here to take you away
I can't make you disappear
I can't take away your fear
I can't help you understand
I will not clap my hands
But I'll breakdown here the truth
I did not come here for you
I did not come here for you
I did not come here for you
I did not come here for you
I did not come here for you
The song_Bells_ by The Naked And Famous talks about a sense of imprisonment and an inevitable downfall. The lyrics suggest that the singer is trapped in a cell and surrounded by darkness as all the lights go down. They fear being haunted by their past and their mistakes if everything falls apart. The chorus talks about the uncertainty of what remains of them after everything has been said and done. Despite that, the singer believes that only love can still make sense, anything else is meaningless. The second verse suggests that the singer is not there to change anyone. They cannot erase the past or make anyone's fear go away. Nevertheless, they break down the truth: they did not come here for anyone but themselves.
The song is a reflection of the band's personal struggles and the belief that there is something eternal beyond our tangible world. The lyrics are poetic and metaphorical, hinting at a grander scheme of things.

All the lights go down
The atmosphere changes as everything falls into darkness
I'm shackled to the cell, to the cell
I am imprisoned and unable to escape
If it falls apart
If everything goes wrong
They will haunt me down
I will be pursued by my mistakes and failures
When all been said and done
After everything has happened and been discussed
Then what do we become
What is our ultimate identity and purpose?
Till you remain in love
As long as you are still in love
Anything you are
You can be anything you desire
I'm not here to make you stay
I am not trying to force you to remain
I'm not here to take you away
Nor am I here to forcibly remove you
I can't make you disappear
I cannot magically erase you from existence
I can't take away your fear
Nor can I remove your sources of anxiety
I can't help you understand
I cannot give you the ability to comprehend
I will not clap my hands
I will not celebrate your suffering or misfortune
But I'll breakdown here the truth
Instead, I will reveal the raw and honest reality
I did not come here for you
My motives do not revolve around you
I did not come here for you
I did not arrive with any intention or obligation towards you
I did not come here for you
I did not come for your benefit or assistance
I did not come here for you
In summary, your involvement was not a factor in my arrival
