Arsenal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The thump of my pulse in my head's not going away.
Time flows quick and then drips so slow.
I see stop frames, I hear half speed audio.
Beautiful love, fallen in
So everything sings for the love my
Beautiful love brings,
And my heartbeat shakes me so heavily.
The spell that you break when we wake up from the same dream.
Time plays tricks and then stops mid flow,
I see stop frames, I hear half speed audio.
Beautiful love, fallen in
So everything sings for the love my
Beautiful love brings,
And my heartbeat shakes me so heavily.
Beautiful scenes in my mind,
Mean everything screams for the love my
Beautiful love dreams,
And my heartbeat makes me feel heavenly.
Excuses are undone,
I've used every single one,
My gut and my long shot,
Hold all of the hope we've got,
For I am no fighter,
No saint, no wrong righter,
I'll tear every fibre for you.
The fear that you grip when you've got something to say,
The hell that you raise when your last chance slips away.
Time flows quick and then drips so slow.
I see stop frames, I hear half speed audio.
Beautiful love, fallen in
So everything sings for the love my
Beautiful love brings,
And my heartbeat shakes me so heavily.
The lyrics of Arsenal’s song Black Mountain present a frank expression of passionate love. The song describes the physical and emotional impact of a lover and the intense love that inspires. The opening lines describe the effect of the lover’s sweet words on the singer's heart, juxtaposed against the thump of their own pulse. The slow and quick passage of time captures the urgency and the paradoxical nature of love. The heartbreakingly beautiful love that they feel brings everything to life; it's something that absolutely consumes them. The shape of the lover, the spell they weave and the connection they share becomes a heavenly dream, a metaphor for the perfect love that we all hope for.
The second verse of the song takes on a slightly different tone, describing how the singer feels about their relationship. They realize the importance of the scenes they create in their mind when they think about their lover, and how these scenes inspire them to feel heavenly. The internal desire to embrace love without making excuses, used as a motivation to be the best version of ourselves for the sake of someone else is powerful, which is expressed compellingly in this verse. The final moments of the song consider the danger that one can feel when they let something good slip away, leaving nothing but regret. The lyricist uses an interesting metaphor to describe the tragic reality of lost love, with time flowing quickly before it slows and halts with no guarantee of a happy ending.
