Absence
Argh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why is your love so strong
You are all that you can be
How come you waited so long
I was seeking for a hide away
A place to dream myself away
feeling lost without you
absence makes the heart grow
Where are you now, and who do you talk to?
Do you miss me like I miss you?
I was seeking for a hide away
A place to dream myself away
feeling lost without you
get yourself together my boy
here comes another day
i will sit down and rink and wrestle too
which ever game I play
I was seeking for a hide away
A place to dream myself away
feeling lost and lonely
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Absence makes the heart grow
makes the heart grow
I was seeking for a hide away
A place to dream myself away
feeling lost and lonely
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Absence makes the heart grow
Absence
in Argh's song is a poignant reflection on the pain of separation and the overwhelming emotions it can evoke. The song begins with the singer questioning the strength of the love that led their partner to wait for them, and wondering why it took so long. The verses describe the singer's sense of loss and confusion in the absence of their loved one, with powerful imagery of seeking a hiding place to escape from the overwhelming emotions.
The chorus is the key message of the song, emphasizing how absence can make the heart grow fonder. This is a common phrase that acknowledges that time apart can deepen the intensity of feelings between two people who care deeply about each other. Despite the pain of separation, the singer finds comfort in this idea and uses it to express their love for their partner.
The song's final stanza is more upbeat, with the singer encouraging themselves to "get themselves together" and face another day, promising to enjoy their favorite activities, even if they must do so alone. The final repetition of "absence makes the heart grow" highlights the theme of the song and emphasizes the singer's commitment to their partner and the strength of their love, even in the face of separation.
