Bell Tower
Gazelle Twin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When will I know it’s over?
Enough has already passed.
I’m not even sure I’ll ever know
How much it all cost me
Dearly.

Such an open wound to heal
I twitch, yet I’m so near.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gazelle Twin's "Bell Tower" are deeply introspective, dealing with themes of loss, uncertainty, and regret. The singer is grappling with the idea of when a particular chapter of their life will come to an end. They wonder if they'll ever have a clear sense of closure, or if they'll simply have to accept that enough has already passed. The singer acknowledges that whatever it is they're trying to move on from has taken a great toll on them, saying that they don't even know how much it's cost them, but they know that it's been "dearly."


The second verse is even more poignant, as the singer uses the image of an open wound to describe how they feel. They're twitchy and restless, unable to find peace or solace as long as this wound is still raw and unhealed. Despite this, they're so close to moving forward - they can taste it, feel it just out of reach. But the question remains: when will they know it's truly over? And more importantly, will they be able to accept it when that time comes?
