Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Became the overtones of your desire
They made their way through limited grace
Fragile, conscientious and kind
Better get yourself together
These are things you cannot explain
You say you're waiting for an answer
But you're writing a symphony of pain
Cradling the questions that remain
Don't you waste your time
Doing the things you think are right
Believing that nothing's ever gonna change
Better get yourself together
These are things you cannot explain
You say you're waiting for an answer
But you're writing a symphony of pain
Can't see 'cause you're writing a symphony of pain
Tell me darling is it true
When the stars align will you
Make believe that you're flying
I've a reason and I know
There's a better way to go
It's time we do
Better get yourself together
These are things you cannot explain
You say you're waiting for an answer
But you're writing a symphony of pain
Just can't see 'cause you're writing a symphony of pain
Can't see 'cause you're writing a symphony of pain
You're writing a symphony of pain
Let me tell you there's a better way
Let me tell you there's a better way
Let me tell you there's a better way to go
The song "Symphony" by Sarah Brightman begins with the startling lies that have brushed someone's eyes, and how they have become overtones of their desire. The lyrics suggest that these lies have made their way through limited grace, and made the person feel fragile, conscientious, and kind. The chorus advises them to get themselves together, as there are things they cannot explain. The person seems to be waiting for an answer, but they are actually writing a symphony of pain. The song talks about not wasting time doing things they think are right, but believing that nothing is ever going to change.
The second verse of the song talks about the person not being able to see clearly because they are writing a symphony of pain. The lyrics suggest that the person has to make-believe that they are flying when the stars align. The third verse suggests that there is a better way to go, and that the time has come for the person to get themselves together. The song ends with the chorus repeating that there is a better way to go.
Overall, the song seems to be about someone who is struggling with their emotions, but is not sure how to express them in a way that makes sense. They are stuck in a cycle of pain and are waiting for an answer, but the lyrics suggest that they need to take action and get themselves together before they can move forward.
