Tower
Belle Andrew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The cityscape
There's a cloud of angels
Above your bed tonight
I'm watching through the window
On the fire escape
By the line weighing your laundry
Like waves in a sea
From every breathe you're taking
I'm walking a tight rope
Above the city, city
Cars are passing by
Beneath my feet, oh feet, oh
I'm wanting you to walk with me
Oh to walk with me on this wire
From tower to tower
When the dusk settles in
The torture begins
In my chest the fire won't rest
From the secrets that we kept
There's a symphony of sirens
Down on the street
And all of the noise makes my ears ring
These syncopated lights
Have convinced my eyes
That I've become hypnotized
I'm walking a tight rope
Above the city, city
Cars are passing by
Beneath my feet, oh feet, oh
I'm wanting you to walk with me
Oh to walk with me on this wire
From tower to tower
(Oh oh oh oh)
I'm walking a tight rope
Above the city, city
Cars are passing by
Beneath my feet, oh feet, oh
I'm wanting you to walk with me
Oh to walk with me on this wire
From tower to tower
The song "Tower" by Belle Andrews explores the theme of a risky and dangerous relationship. When the fog hangs above the cityscape, the singer sees a cloud of angels above the bed of her lover, who is unaware of the risks she takes for their love. The singer watches her lover through the window and sees ripples in the bed sheets, which resemble waves in the sea, caused by every breath she takes. This emphasizes how fragile their love is and how every movement can have consequences.
The second verse of the song reveals the desperation of the singer as she walks on a tightrope above the city, with passing cars underneath her feet. She wants her lover to walk with her on this wire, from tower to tower, as though they are crossing obstacles together in their relationship. However, when the dusk settles in, the torture begins as the secrets they keep are revealed. The singer feels as though there is a fire burning in her chest, refusing to rest until the truth is acknowledged. This further emphasizes the high risk and danger involved in their relationship as they keep secrets from each other.
Overall, "Tower" by Belle Andrews is a powerful metaphor for a relationship that is on the edge, where every move can make or break the couple. The singer takes risks and wants her lover to walk with her, but the truth and secrets they keep make the relationship precarious.
