Symphony
Bandit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been hearing symphonies
Before, all I heard was silence
A rhapsody for you and me
And every melody is timeless
Life was stringing me along
Then you came and you cut me loose
Was solo, singing on my own
Now I can't find the key without you

And now your song is on repeat
And I'm dancin' on to your heartbeat
And when you're gone, I feel incomplete
So, if you want the truth

I just wanna be part of your symphony
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Symphony
Like a love song on the radio
Will you hold me tight and not let go?

I'm sorry if it's all too much
Every day you're here, I'm healing
And I was runnin' out of luck
I never thought I'd find this feeling
'Cause I've been hearing symphonies
Before all I heard was silence
A rhapsody for you and me
(A rhapsody for you and me)
And every melody is timeless

And now your song is on repeat
And I'm dancin' on to your heartbeat
And when you're gone, I feel incomplete
So, if you want the truth

I just wanna be part of your symphony
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Symphony
Like a love song on the radio
Will you hold me tight and not let go?

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah ah, ah

And now your song is on repeat
And I'm dancin' on to your heartbeat
And when you're gone, I feel incomplete
So, if you want the truth (oh)

I just wanna be part of your symphony
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Symphony
Like a love song on the radio
Symphony
Will you hold me tight and not let go?

Like a love song on the radio
Will you hold me tight and not let go?

Overall Meaning

The song "Symphony" by British band Clean Bandit ft. Zara Larsson is a love ballad which compares love to the beauty and complexity of a symphony. The opening lines "I've been hearing symphonies, before all I heard was silence," refers to the dullness and emptiness before finding love. The singer explains that since finding love, they feel whole and recognize a deeper meaning that they were missing before. They feel that the love they have found with their partner is so beautiful and complex that it can be compared to a symphony, and each melody they share feels timeless.


The singer goes on to explain how they feel when their partner is not around. They use the metaphor of feeling incomplete, as if they can't find the key to the symphony without their partner. The chorus repeats this idea, as the singer expresses their desire to be a part of the symphony their partner can create. They conclude with asking for confirmation, and repeating the request to hold them tight and never let go.


Overall, the song is about finding that special someone who brings beauty and meaning to life, and continues to hold onto that person as an integral part of one's own story. The use of musical metaphors such as symphonies and melodies make the song catchy and meaningful on multiple levels.

@@Thawhid BIBLE calls us all to be real, sober minded souls, who live holy lives on earth.
BIBLE calls nor expect nobody to be:
- religious of any kind
- monk
- nun
BIBLE expect us to turn our LACK OF KNOWLEDGE into KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH (HOSEA 4:6)
Each human life on earth:
- repent
- BORN AGAIN and GO AND SIN NO MORE
- be baptised in HOLY SPIRIT /THE COMFORTER
- LIVE HOLY
= soul, after earthly death in HEAVEN. Easy logic, asks no degree in anything.

Bible calls us to give out RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT, no to keep our mouth shut and support everything with blind eyes and deaf ears.

See no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil – that old saying, it belongs to masons, am I right again? The vow of silence of theirs.

SOULS, dare to read and study BIBLE (KJV) and search about FREEMASONRY.

This song reminds me of a girl/ friend of mine who died after a skiing accident. She hit a tree and her heart had stopped. She was in the hospital for a few days and then her parents decided to take her off of life support. She’s been gone for a few years now but every time I hear this song I think of her. She passed away in grade 6 and she’s supposed to be going into grade 10 this year. I miss you Marin. Your friends miss you! We all miss you Marin. We will tell you all about it when we see you again! We love you Marin! RIP Marin!

(Edit:) Thank you all so much for your love. I really really appreciate it. It was very very hard to say goodbye to Marin.

(Edit 2:) guys please please stop making rude comments on this. If you don’t have anything nice to say then please don’t say anything at all. Marin’s parents decided to take her off of life support because there was nothing the doctors could do. No money wasn’t a reason why they took her off of life support. Here in Canada we don’t have to pay for hospital bills.



Edit (3) thank you to the kind people who commented on my story and gave their love to Marin even though they don’t know who Marin is. I do miss Marin every day and I wish that there was something that the doctors could do. Marin’s parents made the right decision to take her off of life support. They didn’t let Marin suffer in any way by choosing to keep her on life support. Even if Marin lived through it, there would be many medical problems that would probably put her behind of her class. Marin sadly let behind a younger sister to grow up on her own without having her big sister
