Flume Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All your innocence, something broken
All your innocence when you hold me
You hold me
All your innocence, something broken
Broken
All your innocence when you hold me
You hold me
Broken
All your innocence when you hold me
You hold me
All your innocence, something broken
Broken

When you hold me, all your innocence, something broken
All your innocence when you hold me
All your innocence, something broken
Broken
All your innocence
Begin again, begin again
How do we begin again?
Start again, start again
How do we begin again?
Begin again, begin again
How do we begin again?
Start again, start again
How do we begin again?
How do we get rain
And how do we get fame
(All your innocence)
(Something broken, broken)
(All your innocence)
How do we get rain
And how do we get fame
(All your innocence)
(Something broken, broken)

All we want is a chance to give ourselves

The lyrics to Flume feat. AlunaGeorge's song Innocence are open to interpretation, but many fans believe that the song is about a relationship that has gone through a rough patch. When the two people are together, the innocence and trust that they once had seems to be shattered or broken due to past mistakes or regrets. The repetition of the phrase "all your innocence, something broken" emphasizes the theme of brokenness and regret.
The second half of the song speaks to the desire to start again, to try to regain what was lost in the relationship. The repeated question of "how do we begin again?" shows the yearning to find a way to move forward and start fresh. The lines about rain and fame are interesting because they suggest that these external factors cannot fix what is broken within the relationship; the solution must come from within.
Overall, the song Innocence by Flume feat. AlunaGeorge has a bittersweet and introspective tone, exploring the fragility of relationships and the desire to fix what has been broken.

@Synthanicmusic
6 years… and this track still fucks me up when I listen to it… in a good way. Seeing it at his concert, with the Reese bass slowly creeping in, people getting hyped the fuck up, and then Harley steps on his stage with his 2 tables on either side, the stage behind him starts spreading out and becoming a hall of arches and mirrors, everyone went absolutely crazy. Makes me tear up a little thinking about, I’d see him again in a heartbeat. Man I love being alive, especially in a time where we can experience the ecstasy that is flume.
@eXac7or
Yes duuude! I missed him in his Skin tour. but managed to see him live for the first time this year and was super excited. When be played this with that DnB twist the whole crowd went nuts! What a memory!
@gzagns
where did you end up seeing him? for me it was Coachella and ACL 2022
@Synthanicmusic
@@gzagns Chicago, Aragon ballroom. Not the best venue tbh, wish I could go to Australia and see him in his homeland, but one day perhaps. How were those?
@gzagns
@@Synthanicmusic well he debuted I Cant Tell at Coachella and it just melted me soul. ACL was a really cool throw back set.
@Synthanicmusic
@@gzagns ugh that sounds so cool, what a dream to be at a debut concert for him haha
@Youngy
Listening to this now, Flume was really ahead of his time. This still outclasses other electronic music by leagues, at least in my opinion. Brilliant.
@GaiaTutankhamon
Totally agreed. And his shows are awesome, the visuals are a +++++ amazing
@tl5860
way ahead of their time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@yourmajesty9025
but what's happed to him know?.. ;(
