Speed of Sound
Frøder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pitch getting higher now
Deep in the night
Your breath getting louder
As I close my eyes
You're by my side
I'm falling
I'm falling
With every shade
Shadows call my name
You love with the speed of sound
Every night your voice
Are shouting out once more
Every night your voice
Shout with the speed of sound
Every night your love
Suddenly surrounding me
Voices could have scared me
But I listen closely to angelic whispers
As a child you told me
From the other side you'd always be near
I'm falling
To sleep to whispers to your grace
I'm falling
With every shade
Shadows call my name
You love with the speed of sound
Every night your voice
Are shouting out once more
Every night your voice
Shout with the speed of sound
Every night your love
Suddenly surrounding me
Cold air and break of dawn
You're gone with the rising sun
But with the speed of, with the speed of,
With the speed of, with the speed of
You love with the speed of sound
Every night your voice
Are shouting out once more
Every night your voice
Shout with the speed of sound
Every night your love
Suddenly surrounding me
"Speed of Sound" by Frøder is a love song filled with vivid imagery and metaphors. The verses depict a lover's presence at night, the sensation of their breath getting louder, and the comfort of feeling their presence. The chorus talks about the speed at which this love is reciprocated, almost like the sound itself. The presence of the lover's voice is mentioned, shouting out loud every night, amplifying the presence and speed at which their love is expressed. The bridge of the song reveals a belief in a greater power, a spiritual connection with the lover, almost like an angelic whisper. The song ends on a bittersweet note, awakening to the cold air and realization that their presence was fleeting, yet the memory of their love remains.
