Drumming Song
Florenc and The Machine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an almighty sound
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That throws me to the ground
I swear that you should hear it
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
I ran to a tower where the church bells chime
I hoped that they would clear my mind
They left a ringing in my ear
But that drum's still beating loud and clear
Louder than sirens (louder than sirens)
Louder than bells (louder than bells)
Sweeter than heaven (sweeter than haven)
And hotter than hell (and hotter than hell)
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat, it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
I run to the river and dive straight in
I pray that the water will drown out the din
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out
I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
'Til there's nothing left inside my soul
I'm as empty as that beating drum
But the sound has just begun
As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an almighty sound
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an almighty sound
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
The lyrics of "Drumming Song" by Florence and The Machine describe the overpowering and overpowering effect that a person has on the singer's mind and body. The drumming noise that begins when the person is around, signifies the overwhelming emotions and sensations they experience. The sound is so intense that it throws the singer to the ground and echoes louder than the sirens and bells. The singer tries to escape from the sound by running to a church tower and later diving into a river, but the drumming noise persists and fills up their head, getting more and more intense.
The song is a metaphor for the passionate and intense feelings that we experience when we are in love with someone. It speaks to the idea that being in love can be overwhelming, whether it's the overwhelming excitement, pleasure, or even pain. The song portrays the idea that love can be compared to a drumbeat - relentless, unstoppable, mesmerizing, and all-consuming. Florence Welch's rich voice conveys the intensity of the emotion that is felt, and the music carries the listener on a journey that is both rousing and hypnotic.

That starts when you're around
It triggers when you are near me
I swear that you could hear it
It's so loud that I believe you can hear it too
It makes such an almighty sound

It's louder than emergency sirens
Louder than bells
It's louder than church bells

Despite being loud, it's still pleasant to my ears
And hotter than hell
It's intense and unstoppable
I ran to a tower where the church bells chime
I searched for a quiet place where the church bells ring
I hoped that they would clear my mind
I thought the church bells would help me focus and calm down
They left a ringing in my ear
Unfortunately, the church bells left a ringing in my ear instead
But that drum's still beating loud and clear

As I move my feet towards your body
As I approach you

And gets louder and louder
It's an endless cycle of increasing volume
I run to the river and dive straight in
I try to escape the noise by jumping into a river
I pray that the water will drown out the din
I hope the water will silence the noise
But as the water fills my mouth
As I go underwater and hold my breath
It couldn't wash the echoes out
The noise is still present even in the water
I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
The noise consumes me completely
'Til there's nothing left inside my soul
It takes away all of my emotions and energy
I'm as empty as that beating drum
I feel as lifeless as the constant drumming in my head
But the sound has just begun
It's never-ending and will continue to haunt me
