Byron
Aberdeen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Swallowed by the sea
The flames rose up around me
And you reach for me
You kept my heart
Give back my soul

I'm darkened in your eyes
The flames rise up around me
And I reach for you
You kept my soul
And packed my heart away





Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Aberdeen's song "Byron" evoke a sense of being lost and overwhelmed, with the constant references to being swallowed up by the sea and surrounded by flames. The line "swallowed by the sea" is particularly poignant, as it encapsulates the idea of being completely consumed by something, unable to escape it. The flames can be interpreted as a metaphor for the intensity of emotions, with the singer feeling a strong connection to a person who has "kept my heart," and is able to stir up strong passions within them.


The repetition of the line "and I reach for you" suggests that the singer seeks comfort and solace in this person, but also feels trapped by their intense emotions. The final line, "ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh," serves to underline the sense of being overwhelmed and consumed, with the melody soaring upwards in a way that suggests a yearning for release.


Overall, the song is a poignant meditation on the nature of love and passion, and the way that these intense emotions can both inspire and overwhelm us.
