Symphony
Charlotte OC Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like ice cream on a burning hot pavement waiting
For you to scrape me up and pull me down
Cause Ive been spending all my nights with the demons lately
They have me held in your name oh noo

I'm playing you slow, I'll play it sweet
I'm pulling you close, under my feet
Oooh Ooooh
Now your heart is my symphony
I'm pulling you high to kick you down,
How does it feel?
Oh how does it feel?
Oooh ooooh
Now your heart is my symphony

And now you're standing on an ice cold pavement waiting,
For me to take you home and throw you out
Through the wholes of your heart I'm navigating
And through the wholes of your heart I'm screaming out

I'm playing you slow, I'll play it sweet
I'm pulling you close, under my feet
Oooooh Oooh
Now your heart is my symphony
I'm pulling you high to kick you down,
How does it feel?
Oh how does it feel?
Oooh Ooooh
Now your heart is my symphony

I'm turning you down,
You're playing too loud
And now it's my turn

I'm turning you down,
You're playing too loud
And now it's my turn

I'm playing you slow, I'll play it sweet
I'm pulling you close, under my feet
Oooh Ooooh
Now your heart is my symphony
I'm pulling you high to kick you down,
How does it feel?
Oh how does it feel?
Oooh ooooh
Now your heart is my symphony





Now your heart is my symphony
Now your heart is my symphony

Overall Meaning

The song "Symphony" by Charlotte OC is about a tumultuous relationship, with the singer waiting for her lover to come back to her, even though she knows it's not a healthy situation. The opening line "Like ice cream on a burning hot pavement waiting for you to scrape me up and pull me down" suggests the singer is vulnerable and willing to do whatever it takes to be with this person, even if it means being hurt or taken advantage of. She also admits to spending her nights with demons, possibly alluding to a self-destructive tendency or addiction, which she associates with this person.


The chorus "Now your heart is my symphony" implies that the singer has taken control of the relationship, and the other person is merely an instrument in her orchestra. The line "I'm pulling you high to kick you down, how does it feel?" reinforces the idea that the singer is manipulating and hurting the other person, yet she takes pleasure in doing so. This power dynamic is also evident in the lines "I'm turning you down, you're playing too loud, and now it's my turn," indicating that the roles have reversed, and she has taken control from the other person.


Overall, Symphony is a cautionary tale of a dysfunctional relationship, where one person has control and the other is left vulnerable and manipulated.
