Beating Heart
Ellie goulding Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With wounded lips and salted cheeks
And finally we stepped to leave to the departure lounge
This belief
And I don't know where I'm going
But I know it's gonna be a long time
And I'll be leaving in the morning
On the white wine bit to sunlight
Want to hear your beating heart tonight
Before that bleeding sun comes to life
I want to make the best of what is left hold tight
And hear my beating heart one last time
Before the light
And the canyon underneath the trees
Behind the dark sky he looked at me
I fell for you like autumn leaves
And never faded ever green
And I don't know where I'm going
But I know it's gonna be a long time
And I'll be leaving in the morning
On the white wine bit to sunlight
Want to hear your beating heart tonight
Before that bleeding sun comes to life
I want to make the best of what is left hold tight
And hear my beating heart one last time
I can't fake this town
Everything's changed
Eyes are leaving your side
It's hoping we collide
It's hoping we collide
It's hoping we collide
Want to hear your beating heart tonight
Before that bleeding sun comes to life
I want to make the best of what is left hold tight
And hear my beating heart one last time
Want to hear your beating heart tonight
The lyrics of Ellie Goulding's song "Beating Heart" describe a bittersweet moment between two people who are preparing to part ways, possibly forever. The singer reminisces about their time together and their emotions during that time - "wounded lips and salted cheeks" indicate sadness and tears shed. They don't know where they're going, but they know it will be a long journey. The white wine bit to sunlight suggests an early morning departure.
The chorus expresses the singer's desire to be close to the other person and hear their heartbeat one last time before they part. The imagery of the bleeding sun and the light fading suggests a sense of impending loss and finality. The bridge describes a moment of intimacy between the two people, in which the singer "fell for" the other person and their love "never faded ever green."
Overall, "Beating Heart" is a poignant and melancholy tribute to love and loss, capturing the emotions of a moment when two people must say goodbye.

I just made that piece in typical tease
I have created this work with a teasing and playful attitude
With wounded lips and salted cheeks
My lips are injured and my cheeks are salty from tears
And finally we stepped to leave to the departure lounge
We are preparing to leave for a journey, headed to the airport
This belief
This idea or conviction that I have
And I don't know where I'm going
I am uncertain of my destination
But I know it's gonna be a long time
I am aware that it will take a while to get there
And I'll be leaving in the morning
I will depart early in the day
On the white wine bit to sunlight
I will be journeying towards a bright and hopeful destination
Want to hear your beating heart tonight
I desire to listen to your heart as we spend time together tonight
Before that bleeding sun comes to life
Before the sunrise, when the sun appears to be dripping blood
I want to make the best of what is left hold tight
I want to enjoy what little time we have left together, hold me close
And hear my beating heart one last time
Let me listen to my own heartbeat one last time, as a reminder of being alive
And the canyon underneath the trees
The valley deep beneath the trees
Behind the dark sky he looked at me
As the sky turned dark, he gazed at me
I fell for you like autumn leaves
I fell in love with you like the leaves of fall
And never faded ever green
Our love never faded, always a lush and vibrant green
I can't fake this town
I cannot pretend to like or enjoy this city or town
Everything's changed
Things have drastically altered
Eyes are leaving your side
People are no longer loyal to you
It's hoping we collide
I am hoping for a fateful meeting with you
Want to hear your beating heart tonight
I yearn to listen to your heart's rhythmic pulse this evening

Everytime I listen to this song, I automatically switch the universe in my head to a universe similar to divergent. The vibe of this song can't be explained in words. The texture, the music &the voice,all heavenly.. Some another level nostalgia...
