be your sound
Above & Beyond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tried and tried
A thousand times I tried to get to you
But I could never move

I had to lie
I fall behind and blame it all on you
Cause I still hate to lose
[Chorus]
Towers fall and kingdoms crumble
Mountains bow and the earth will tremble
At the sound of your name
(At the sound of your name)
Strong men falls to him who humbles
The plans we made were bound to stumble
Only you remain
(Only you remain)

I cried and cried
A thousand tears I cried because of you
I lost my one excuse

And I had to die along with everything inside of me removed
Now I live with you (you)
Oh Oh Oh

[Chorus]

Only you remain
(Only you remain)

(Some men can reach the sky)
Some men can reach the sky
If he builds his own demise
But still he's far away from you
(He's underneath your eyes)
He's underneath your eyes
As he plans his own demise
What's new to him is old to you

His kingdom fell and his heart was troubled
I feel the same
I feel the same

Strong men falls to him who humbles
And man to man
We'll stumble
And that's why He came
That's why He came

[Chorus]

Only you remain
(Only you remain)





Only you remain
Only you remain

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "Be Your Sound" describe the singer's failed attempts to reach someone they care about. They feel stuck, unable to make any progress toward this person. Despite their efforts, they've fallen behind and are inclined to blame the individual they're trying to connect with - but they admit that they loathe losing. The song's title suggests that the connection they long for is rooted in sound, underscoring the idea that music can facilitate relationships.


The chorus of the song invokes images of natural disasters and ruined kingdoms. These grandiose metaphors serve to emphasize the power of the person the singer is singing about. Whereas the greatest accomplishments of humanity can crumble under natural forces, the individual they're addressing remains. The second verse compares the listener to an ambitious person who falls short of their goals, ending up beneath the very eyes of the person they're trying to impress. The chorus appears again, but slightly altered, as the singer sings about how humanity will always falter, but the person they're singing about provides steadiness.

💘 <=== HOLY BIBLE ====€
Habakkuk 3:9
Thy bow was made quite naked (bare),
according to the oaths of the tribes
(oaths were sworn over your arrows),
even thy word. Selah.
Thou didst cleave (divided) the earth
with rivers.
💘 <=== A-MEN' ====€

Our LORD, GOD and SAVIOUR did create the simplest of fabrics (H²O) to sustain all forms of life here on earth.
Just as the Jordan and the Euphrates are made of this fabric, so to also are the Bow and EL-bow.
🌱LIFE IS BUT A VAPOUR (H²O)🌹

The grace of our LORD JESUS CHRIST be with you all.
