Loud And Clear
Murs Olly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you satisfied
With the way that you let our love die?
So how's it feel to be
On the other side
Without me in your life?
I was calling you my world,
But you didn't give a damn
Enough to let me in
But now you know
If you want to love
You've got to give love
Or it will disappear
Now you're all alone
Wishing you could go back
To where you're happy here
But it's too late to make it right
And you can't take back the byes
No you can't reverse the tears
The truth is hitting you loud and clear like
Ooh ooh like
Ooh ooh
Stop. Baby, let it out
Is there a dark cloud
Looming over you since our breakdown?
Has it been difficult?
And are you miserable?
Are you missing us now?
I was calling you my world
My heart, my everything, ooh
But you didn't give a damn
Enough to let me in
But now you know
If you want to love
You've got to give love
Or it will disappear
Now you're all alone
Wishing you could go back
To where you're happy here
But it's too late to make it right
And you can't take back the byes
No you can't reverse the tears
The truth is hitting you loud and clear like
Ooh ooh like
Ooh ooh
How does it feel to be without
Without my love around
Wishing you could turn it around?
Ooh but now you know
If you want to love
You've got to give love
Or it will disappear
Now you're all alone
Wishing you could go back
To where you're happy here
But it's too late to make it right
And you can't take back the byes
No you can't reverse the tears
The truth is hitting you loud and clear like
Ooh ooh like
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh like
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
The lyrics of "Loud & Clear" by Murs Olly describe a person who has moved on from a broken relationship, while their ex-lover is living with the consequences of their actions. The song speaks to the ex-lover's regret, their realization that they should have made a greater effort to show love and appreciation to their partner, and the painful fact that they can't undo the past. The chorus repeats the idea that the ex-lover now understands that if they want love they must be willing to give love in return. The song reveals the emotional maturity and growth of the singer, who recognizes their worth and moves on to a happier life without their emotionally unfulfilling partner.
The verses are addressed directly to the ex-lover, with the singer asking them questions that reveal their lack of satisfaction in life without their former love. The singer reminds their former lover of the times they used to call them "my world, my heart, my everything," and the fact that the ex-lover didn't give them the same love and appreciation in return. The chorus speaks of the transience of love and the fact that it will disappear if not nurtured. The second verse continues the theme of regret, with the singer asking how their ex-lover feels now that they're alone, and describing the fact that they themselves have moved on to a happier place, with or without their ex-partner.
Overall, "Loud & Clear" is a powerful depiction of the end of a relationship, with the singer coming out stronger and more mature, while their ex-lover is left with regret and sadness. The song warns that if we don't treasure the love that we have, it can easily slip away, never to return.
