Elysian Fields Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Finally admitting what you hear
Shadows are trembling
Like branches that never disappear
I used to watch them dancing
When I was lying in my bed
I'd count the headlights
From the highway
Where it led
All alone, I'd dream
Of castles
All alone
Forgetting myself
If I walk on water
When it feels like dying
We're in love
So why am I crying?
Love
We can caress the flowers
Below the sea, above the ground
Set fire the ocean
Like kisses igniting hearts that pound
One day you'll take me dancing
Carelessly we'll soar
To old Spanish songs
Under moonlight
We're spinning round and round
Round and round
All alone, I dream
Of castles
All alone
Forgetting myself
What if it never finds you
And it feels like dying
We're in love
So why am I crying?
Opened
Opened up
And it's all or nothing
We're in love
So why am I crying?
We're in love
The lyrics to Elysian Fields's song "We're in Love" offer a contemplative portrayal of the complexities of romantic love. The first stanza sets a dreamlike tone, with the singer turning down the voices around them to focus on the shadows that tremble like branches. This could suggest a sense of unease or uncertainty, as the shadows represent a fleeting and insubstantial aspect of reality. The singer then reflects on their own past experiences of lying in bed and watching the headlights of passing cars, wondering where the road might lead. This could represent a broader sense of longing or desire, as the singer yearns for something beyond their current situation.
The second stanza expresses the singer's desire for a deeper connection with their lover. They dream of "castles" and setting fire to the ocean, suggesting a sense of grandeur and ambition for their love. The mention of "old Spanish songs" and dancing under the moonlight suggests a desire for intimacy and passion, as the singer imagines being "all alone" with their lover. However, the stanza also contains a note of doubt or fear, as the singer wonders if their love will ever find them.
The final stanza offers a more affirmative message, as the singer declares that they have "opened up" and committed themselves fully to their love. However, the line "so why am I crying?" suggests that even in the midst of love, there may still be moments of sadness or confusion. Overall, the lyrics to "We're in Love" offer a nuanced and introspective exploration of the complexities of romantic relationships.

Turn the voices way down
Lower the volume of the noises around us
Finally admitting what you hear
Acknowledging what you have been listening to
Shadows are trembling
The darkness seems to be shaking
Like branches that never disappear
Like a never-ending tree
I used to watch them dancing
I used to observe the shadows moving
When I was lying in my bed
While I was resting in bed
I'd count the headlights
I would enumerate the car lights
From the highway
From the nearby road
And wonder where it led
Questioning their destinations
All alone, I'd dream
I would fantasize by myself
Of castles
About luxurious strongholds
Forgetting myself
Not paying attention to my own feelings
If I walk on water
If I could perform miracles
When it feels like dying
When the sentiment seems to be killing me
We're in love
We are experiencing an intimate connection
So why am I crying?
Why am I shedding tears in communication with it?
We can caress the flowers
We can explore the blooms tenderly
Below the sea, above the ground
In the oceanic depth or sky's height
Set fire the ocean
Igniting the seawater
Like kisses igniting hearts that pound
Comparable to heart-racing kisses
One day you'll take me dancing
Some time you would show me how to dance
Carelessly we'll soar
Without any worries, we will fly
To old Spanish songs
Listening to traditional Spanish melodies
Under moonlight
In the light of the moon
We're spinning round and round
We are going around in circles
What if it never finds you
Suppose it never discovers you
And it feels like dying
And the sensation appears fatal
Opened
Started to reveal emotions
Opened up
Fully exposed the feelings
And it's all or nothing
It is entirely successful, or it fails entirely
We're in love
We are experiencing an intimate connection
So why am I crying?
Why am I shedding tears in communication with it?
We're in love
We are experiencing an intimate connection

I love how Jennifer sounds so cathartic. Like she's more breathing in pitch than singing a song. Amazing voice.

I feel I should note I keep coming back to this video again and again as one of the most beautiful things I've ever witnessed. Never take it down or let it die. I don't trust my computer not to lose it.
