14. SARAH BRIGHTMAN - SYMPHONY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When now suddenly you feel so far away
And you're not prepared to talk
And if you're now afraid to listen
Then I don't want to do this anymore
Oh I don't know which way that I should turn
Seems the more we love
And I keep staring into space
Like it somehow has the answer
So don't let the music end
Oh my darling
[Chorus]
Symphony
It's gone quiet around us now
How I wish you would hold me
And that you never told me
That it's better if you leave
Look at the sun
We're starting to lose all of the light
Where we once burnt so brightly
Tell me we might be
Throwing it away
Well you don't know what you've got
Until it's gone
But then nothing ever hurt like holding on
I am scared and unprepared
And I feel like I am falling
So can you tell me
Where did we go wrong?
[Chorus]
If everything is broken
Then it's better that we give up
And remember how we once had
Something beautiful
[Chorus]
The song "Symphony" by Sarah Brightman is a heart-wrenching ballad about a relationship that is falling apart. The singer is confused and hurt, not knowing what to do or say as her partner begins to pull away. She laments that the more they loved each other, the more they had to learn, and now they seem to be throwing everything away. The use of musical imagery deepens the emotional impact of the lyrics, with the singer begging for the music to not end, and referencing a symphony to describe the beauty of what they once had.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "It's gone quiet around us now," emphasizing the sudden silence and emptiness that comes with a relationship in decline. The singer longs for physical comfort and reassurance from their partner, wishing that they would hold her and never leave. The final verse sees the singer admitting that they are scared and unprepared for the possibility of losing their partner. They ask where they went wrong and question whether it's better to give up now that everything feels broken. Overall, "Symphony" is a tragic and poignant look at the pain of a relationship deteriorating.

I don't know what I'm supposed to say
I am at a loss for words
When now suddenly you feel so far away
I am feeling distant from you, and it hurts
And you're not prepared to talk
You are not ready to discuss what is happening between us
And if you're now afraid to listen
If you are scared to hear what I have to say
Then I don't want to do this anymore
I don't want to continue this relationship if you can't communicate with me
Oh I don't know which way that I should turn
I am lost and uncertain about what to do next
Seems the more we love
The more we care about each other
The more we have to learn
The more we have to work on to keep our relationship strong
And I keep staring into space
I am deep in thought and can't focus on anything
Like it somehow has the answer
As if the solution to our problems is out in the universe somewhere
So don't let the music end
Don't let our love die
Oh my darling
My love
Symphony
Our relationship is like a symphony
It's gone quiet around us now
Things have become silent between us
How I wish you would hold me
I wish you would show me affection
And that you never told me
I wish you had never said the things you did
That it's better if you leave
That it's better if we end this relationship
Look at the sun
Take a look at the world outside
We're starting to lose all of the light
Our love is fading away
Where we once burnt so brightly
Where our love used to be strong and passionate
Tell me we might be
Assure me that we still have a chance
Throwing it away
Wasting all we had
Well you don't know what you've got
You don't appreciate what you have until it's gone
Until it's gone
Until you lose it
But then nothing ever hurt like holding on
But sometimes holding on to something that is not working is even more painful
I am scared and unprepared
I am frightened and not ready
And I feel like I am falling
I feel like everything is slipping away
So can you tell me
Can you explain to me
Where did we go wrong?
What did we do to cause our relationship to fall apart?
If everything is broken
If everything is falling apart
Then it's better that we give up
Then we should just end things
And remember how we once had
And think back to how our love used to be
Something beautiful
Something that was wonderful and worth cherishing

Symphony
I don't know what I'm supposed to say
when now suddenly you feel so far away,
and you're not prepared to talk,
and if you're now afraid to listen,
well, I don't want to do this anymore…
Oh, I don't know which way that I should turn
since the more we love the more we have to learn.
And I keep staring into space like it somehow has the answer,
so don't let the music end, oh my darling…
Symphony…
It's gone quiet around us now.
How I wish you would hold me,
and that you never told me,
and it's better if you leave…
Look at the sun…
We're starting to lose all of our light.
Where we once burned so brightly,
tell me we might be not going anywhere…
Well, you don't know what you've got until it's gone.
But, then, nothing ever hurt like holding on.
I am scared and unprepared, and I feel like I am falling.
So, can you tell me where did we go wrong?
Symphony…
It's gone quiet around us now.
How I wish you would hold me,
and that you never told me,
that it's better if you leave…
If everything is broken and it's better that we give up,
I'll remember how we once had something beautiful…
Symphony…
It's gone quiet around us now.
How I wish you would hold me,
and that you never told me,
and it's better if you leave…
Look at the sun…
We're starting to lose all of the light,
where we once felt so brightly,
so tell me we might be not going anywhere.

This just make me want to live, create, dance. It makes me hopeful and perhaps it‘s not the theme of the song but just listening and seeing these creatives gives me such a boost. That drummer is in it. I love seeing people live their passion and be passionate.
