Every Little Beat
Above & Beyond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every little beat of your heart
You get a little closer to me
You've never been so happy since I've been around
I don't want to tear your world apart
But that's how it's going to be
Your head's in the sky but I'm on the ground

Words come slow to me
Silence easily
But the world spins round and round
My heart is breaking
The mess I'm making

Every little beat of your heart
You're painting a picture of me
You put me on a pedestal I can't climb down
Every little beat of my own
Takes me further from you
I've run out of heaven and I'm closing down

There's an actor in this town
And he follows you around
He gets his line right every time
But his heart is breaking
He's tired of faking

Every little beat of your heart
You're painting a picture of me
You put me on a pedestal I can't climb down
Every little beat of my own
Takes me further from you
I've run out of heaven and I'm closing down

Every little beat of your heart
You're painting a picture of me
You put me on a pedestal I can't climb down
Every little beat of my own




Takes me further from you
I've run out of heaven and I'm closing down

Overall Meaning

The song "Every Little Beat" by Above & Beyond featuring Richard Bedford is a poignant portrayal of a relationship that is reaching its end. The lyrics speak of two people who are drifting apart, despite their efforts to hold on to love. The opening lines, "Every little beat of your heart, you get a little closer to me" seems to suggest that the two lovers are trying to bridge the emotional distance between them. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that their attempts are futile. The line "Your head's in the sky but I'm on the ground" reflects how the two lovers are in different places emotionally and can no longer connect on the same level.


The lyrics go on to describe the pain and sorrow that come with the end of a relationship. The line "My heart is breaking, the mess I'm making" suggests that one of the singers is responsible for the breakup and is filled with regret. The song speaks to the relatable feelings of heartache and uncertainty that come with unrequited or lost love.


One interpretation of the song is that it's about the ups and downs of fame, and the toll it takes on relationships. The line "There's an actor in this town, and he follows you around" could be referring to someone who is in the public eye and has a following. The line "He gets his line right every time, but his heart is breaking" could suggest that the person's public persona is not reflective of how they truly feel inside. This could be a metaphor for how fame can be isolating and difficult to navigate in relationships.
