Terra Firma
Aude Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can't see my eyes, you can't see my eyes
They don't see yours
Hear me when I say, "They don't mind at all"

It's the rain that I hear coming, not a stranger or a ghost
It's the quiet of a storm approaching that I fear the most
It's the pain that I hear coming
The slightest crystal tear, drops to the ground in silence
When my love is near

Darling, when did you fall? When was it over?
Darling when, when did you fall? When was it over?

It's marching through my door now, the stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and then my lonesome song begins
It's marching through my door now, the stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and now my lonesome song begins

Darling, when did you cry? I couldn't hear you
Darling when, when did you cry? I couldn't hear you

I suppose it is the price of falling in love
I suppose it is the price of falling in love

It's the rain that I hear coming, not a stranger, not a ghost
Of the quiet of a storm approaching that I fear the most
It's the pain that I hear coming
The slightest crystal tear drops to the ground in silence
When my love is near

It's marching through my door now, the stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and now my lonesome song will end

Darling when did we fall? When was it over?
Darling when, when did we fall? When was it over?

I suppose it is the price of falling in love
I fear that it's the price of falling in love
I fear that it's the price of falling in love




I fear that it's the price of falling in love
I fear that it's the price of falling in love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Aude's song "Terra Firma" express the pain and loneliness of lost love. The first stanza sets the tone for the song, with the line "You can't see my eyes, you can't see my eyes / They don't see yours." This suggests a lack of a connection or understanding between the two people. The following line, "Hear me when I say, 'They don't mind at all,'" further emphasizes the idea that the singer's emotions are not being recognized or acknowledged by the other person.


The second stanza reveals the singer's fear of impending heartbreak, as they hear the rain and the quiet of an approaching storm. The pain they feel is likened to a crystal tear dropping silently to the ground. The chorus asks, "Darling when did you fall? When was it over?" indicating that the relationship has already come to an end, perhaps without the singer even realizing it.


The final stanza repeats the previous themes, with the singer now feeling the "stony cold of lonesome" as their heart tolls like a bell. The closing lines, "I suppose it is the price of falling in love / I fear that it's the price of falling in love," suggest that the singer may have been blinded by love and is now paying the consequences of their previous actions.

Elton Canuto

Nazar It says is from a promo version of the Poem album. It's not unusual that beetween the initial promotion for the press and the final material some things really change. I believe that's the case.
