Bells
Autumn Sky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have put my heart in far too many temporary things
After all this heartbreak, you'd think I might become
Colder, but my heart yearns for the bells, the bells, the drums
And I won't give in
No I won't give up
I can see the fire, dying, embers underneath the dust
I will not give up
Cause my heart is crying, crying for the bells, the bells, the bells
The bells, the drums
No, I don't want someone who tells me everything I want
Who comes when he is called and runs away when he is not
Give real love in spades and, pray, don't hold it back from me
A reason to believe's the only treasure that I need
We won't give in
No, we won't give up
I can see the fire, dying, embers underneath the dust
We will not give in
We will not give up
My heart is crying, crying for the bells, the bells, the bells
The bells, the drums
Do do do do do do do do x4
I won't give in
I will not give up
I can see the fires, dying, embers underneath the dust
I will not give in
I can not give up
Cause my heart is crying, crying for the bells
My heart is crying, crying for the bells
My heart is crying, crying for the bells, the bells, the bells
The bells, the drums
The song "Bells" by Autumn Sky is an emotive plea for true love and the desire to not settle for anything less. The opening verse sets the tone as the singer declares that they don't want a relationship that just fades away, as they have already had their fill of temporary things.

The chorus then follows suit with repeated declarations of determination to not give up and to keep searching for that true connection. The imagery of the dying embers underneath the dust represents hope still burning within them, pushing them to keep searching for that one person who can give them the real love they crave.
The second verse continues with the idea of not settling for a surface-level relationship and instead, seeking someone who will give them real love without holding back. The singer wants a reason to believe in true love and sees it as the treasure they need. The final chorus repeats the message of hope and determination, as the singer's heart crying out for the sound of the bells and drums.
Overall, "Bells" by Autumn Sky is a powerful anthem for anyone searching for real love, refusing to settle for anything less and willing to keep searching until they find it.
