Belle Vue
Northy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wait for her, growing so damn old
Crystal blue but a heart of black
Fooled me into coming back
Erase the past, the pain, the grief
And you will see just how wrong you could be
About me
About me
Erase the past, the pain, the grief
And you will see just how wrong you could be
About me

About me
In Northy's song Belle Vue, the lyrics describe the singer's pain and longing as they watch their former lover from afar. The opening line sets the scene of the singer lying awake across the street, indicating a sense of restlessness and inability to move on from the past relationship. The second line further emphasizes the passage of time as the singer describes growing old while waiting for their love.
The juxtaposition of the woman's crystal blue eyes with her heart of black paints a picture of deception and betrayal. The singer admits to being fooled into returning to the relationship despite the pain it caused them in the past. The repetition of the phrase "Erase the past, the pain, the grief" reflects the singer's desire to forget their pain and move on, but the following line suggests that doing so would reveal a misunderstood version of themselves to their former love.
Overall, Belle Vue is a poignant reflection on the pain of heartbreak and the struggles in moving on from a former love.
