Hurting
Friendly Fires Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chains on me are breakin' loose
I can feel in my body
Standin' tall I make the moves
With the sun kissing my face
There's no way that I can lose
And the thing that I crave your embrace
You're the one that's being you
I hear you say
I cant let you leave my life like this
I hear you say
Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave
Either way that I
Cant keep feelin' the pain of your touch
Your touch keeps on hurtin'
Either way that I
Cant keep feelin' the pain of your touch
Your touch keeps on hurtin'
Gotta let this go
Gotta field tomorrow
On my own
Your touch keeps on hurtin'
Gotta let this go
Gotta field tomorrow
On my own
Your touch keeps on hurtin'
I can feel in my body
Free from all the things you were
I can feel in my body
Show me the way
Show me the way
I hear you say
I can't let you leave my life like this
I hear you say
Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave
Either way that I
Cant keep feelin' the pain of your touch
Your touch keeps on hurtin'
Either way that I
Cant keep feelin' the pain of your touch
Your touch keeps on hurtin'
Gotta let this go
Gotta field tomorrow
On my own
Your touch keeps on hurtin'
Gotta let this go
Gotta field tomorrow
On my own
Your touch keeps on hurtin'
Hurting this way
The lyrics of Friendly Fires's song "Hurting" explore the conflicting emotions that arise from trying to move on from a painful relationship. The opening lines, "I can feel in my body, chains on me are breaking loose" suggest a sense of liberation and the singer's desire to be free from the constraints of the relationship. However, they also suggest that the pain of the relationship has left some residue on the singer's body - something that they need to shake off.
Throughout the song, the singer shows an intense desire to move on from the relationship but is confronted by the pain of leaving it behind. "Either way that I can't keep feeling the pain of your touch, your touch keeps on hurting" conveys this dichotomy - the pain of staying versus the pain of leaving. The chorus reinforces this idea - the singer hears the words "don't leave" repeated over and over, while at the same time, they feel the need to let go and "field tomorrow" on their own.
Ultimately, the song suggests that the singer is determined to move on despite the pain. The lines "I can feel in my body, free from all the things you were, show me the way" signify the singer's desire for a new direction, and the fact that they are willing to face the future without their former partner. The song ends with the line "Your touch keeps on hurting" - a reminder of the emotional scars that the end of a relationship can leave behind.
Overall, "Hurting" is a bittersweet song about the complexities of relationships and the difficulty of moving on. The lyrics suggest that while it may be difficult, it is ultimately worthwhile to let go of old hurts and embrace the future.
