Give a little love
L.O.U.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The night gave you song
A light had been turned on
You walked out in the world
Like you belong there

As easy as a breeze
Each heart was yours to please
Is it only me who sees
There's something wrong there

Oh la la, I'm not a ghost now
I can see you
You need to see me

It's the little things that give you away
The words you cannot say
Your big mouth in the way

I saw you on the stairs
You didn't notice I was there
That's 'cause you were talking at me and Not to me

You were high above the storm
A hurricane being born
This freedom it might cost you your liberty

It's the little things that give you away
The words you cannot say
Your big mouth in the way
It's the little things that tease and betray
As the hunted I become the prey
It's the little things
The little things that give you away

Sometimes I can't believe my existence
See myself from a distance
I can't get back inside

Sometimes the air is so anxious
All my thoughts are so reckless
And all of my innocence has died

Sometimes I wake at four in the morning
When all the darkness is swarming
And it covers me in fear

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes I'm full of anger and grieving
So far away from believing
That any song will reappear

Sometimes the end is not coming
It's not coming
The end is here
Sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes when the painted glass shatters
And you're the only thing that matters
But I can't see you through the tears
Sometimes the end is not coming
It's not coming




The end is here
Sometimes

Line by Line Meaning

The night gave you song
You felt inspired by the night, and that inspiration led you to create something beautiful like a song.


A light had been turned on
Something positive happened to you that opened your eyes to new possibilities and opportunities, like a light being turned on in a dark room.


You walked out in the world
You started to embrace the world around you and put yourself out there.


Like you belong there
You felt confident and comfortable in your own skin, like you belonged in the world.


As easy as a breeze
You effortlessly charmed those around you and made them feel good, much like a gentle breeze on a warm day.


Each heart was yours to please
You had the ability to win over others and make them happy with your actions and words.


Is it only me who sees There's something wrong there
Despite your outward success, some people, like myself, can sense that there's something off or not genuine about your behavior and actions.


Oh la la, I'm not a ghost now I can see you You need to see me
I'm not invisible or absent anymore, as I can spot your faults and inconsistencies that you need to recognize in yourself.


It's the little things that give you away The words you cannot say Your big mouth in the way
Your true self is revealed through small mannerisms and the words you hold back, and sometimes your lack of filter or tact (your big mouth) gives away your insincerity or true feelings.


I saw you on the stairs You didn't notice I was there That's 'cause you were talking at me and Not to me
You were so caught up in your own self-promotion and agendas that you didn't bother to acknowledge or care about me and my presence.


You were high above the storm A hurricane being born This freedom it might cost you your liberty
You felt invincible and above the fray, like a hurricane forming in the sky, but this newfound freedom might eventually leave you vulnerable and without true freedom.


It's the little things that give you away The words you cannot say Your big mouth in the way It's the little things that tease and betray As the hunted I become the prey It's the little things The little things that give you away
Again, it's the small signs and actions that show your true feelings and motives, which can lead to me feeling like I'm being hunted and deceived. These little things ultimately betray your true self.


Sometimes I can't believe my existence See myself from a distance I can't get back inside
There are times when I struggle with understanding who I am and my purpose, and it's difficult to come back from that isolating viewpoint.


Sometimes the air is so anxious All my thoughts are so reckless And all of my innocence has died
At times, the world around me can feel overwhelming and anxiety-inducing, leading to impulsive and careless thoughts. These experiences can lead to a loss of innocence.


Sometimes I wake at four in the morning When all the darkness is swarming And it covers me in fear
In the darkest hours of the night, I can be overcome with fear and anxiety, feeling like I'm being consumed by it all.


Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes Sometimes I'm full of anger and grieving So far away from believing That any song will reappear
There are moments when I'm distraught and hopeless, feeling like nothing good or beautiful will ever happen again, whether it's from grief or anger.


Sometimes the end is not coming It's not coming The end is here Sometimes
Even when we don't see it coming, an ending can occur suddenly and with little warning, leaving us to deal with the aftermath.


Sometimes when the painted glass shatters And you're the only thing that matters But I can't see you through the tears
When our world comes crashing down and we're left to pick up the pieces, it can feel like we're completely alone and the only thing that truly matters. However, the tears can blur our vision and make it hard to see what's right in front of us.

"Give Us A Little Love"

Where do we belong, where did we go wrong?
If there's nothing here, why are we still here?
Where do we belong, where did we go wrong?
If there's nothing here, why are we still here?
Where do we belong, where did we go wrong?
If there's nothing here, why are we still here?
Where do we belong, where did we go wrong?
If there's nothing here, why are we still here?

It's another time, it's another day
Numbers they are new, but it's all the same
Running from yourself, it will never change
If you try you could die

Give us a little love, give us a little love
We never had enough, we never had enough
Give us a little love, give us a little love
We never had enough, we never had enough

We’ll pour it in a cup, try to drink it up
Pour it in a well, if we go to hell
We'll get it on the way

Aaaaaah, aaaaa-aaaaah
Aaaaaah, aaaaa-aaaaah
Aaaaaah, aaaaa-aaaaah
Aaaaaah, aaaaa-aaaaah

Huh huh, huh huh, huh huh, huh huh
Huh huh, huh huh, huh huh, huh

Where do we belong, where did we go wrong?
If there's nothing here, why are we still here?
Where do we belong, where did we go wrong?
If there's nothing here, why are we still here?

Leave it by its pain, leave it all alone
If I never turn, I will never grow
Keep the door ajar when I'm coming home
I will try, can't you see I'm trying?

Give us a little love, give us a little love
We never had enough, we never had enough
Give us a little love, give us a little love
We never had enough, we never had enough

Aaaaaah, aaaaa-aaaaah
Aaaaaah, aaaaa-aaaaah
Aaaaaah, aaaaa-aaaaah
Aaaaaah

Huh huh, huh huh, huh huh, huh huh
Huh huh, huh huh, huh huh, huh ha

Give us a little love, give us a little love
We never had enough, we never had enough
Give us a little love, give us a little love
We never had enough, we never had enough

Pour it in a cup, try to drink it up
Pour it in a well, you can go to hell
We'll get it on the way

Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Where do we belong, where did we go wrong
If there's nothing here, why are we still here?

Leave it by it's pain, leave it all alone
If I never turn, I will never grow
Keep the door ajar when I'm coming home
I will try, can't you see I'm trying

Give us a little love, give us a little love
We never had enough, we never had enough
Give us a little love, give us a little love
We never had enough, we never had enough

Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
