Originally from Chipstead, just beyond the fringes of south London where suburban sprawl starts to break into countryside, Hannah’s is a family of music lovers and her early life was soundtracked by her father’s expansive record collection; she has previously cited acts as diverse as Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush and Altered Images. Encouraged to sing and write, these formative years led to her creative talents being recognised by the prestigious BRIT School. Aged 16, and already with a number of her own songs sketched out, Rodgers enrolled at the renowned performing arts college, previously attended by the likes of Adele, Amy Winehouse and King Krule. It was only after graduating that she begin to think of doing anything with her own music, resisting the more mainstream route traditionally taken by her peers. Adopting her grandmother’s nickname, Pixx was born.

Romance
Pixx Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There always is romance
There always is romance
There always is romance
There always is romance

You might expect me to see me on the inside
But I don't really want to go

Some say it's better on the outside
'Cause we don't really want to know

I might go to the cinema on my own
I want a solitary show

I sing and watch the warning color
Show me, I came here all alone

Hoping to find you there
But I didn't really know where I was headed
So I got lost somewhere
And you didn't even know

Hoping to find you there
But I didn't really know where I was headed
So I got lost somewhere
And you didn't even know

You don't care as long as you leave in a pair
There always is romance
You'll be fine as you keep up the flair
There always is romance
You don't care as long as you leave in a pair
There always is romance
You'll be fine as you keep up the flair
There always is romance

I climb a barricade to see you
Rumors living underneath your skin

Now that there seems to be an ending dilemma
Once is running thin [?]

Hoping to find you there
But I didn't really know where I was headed
So I got lost somewhere
And you didn't even know

Hoping to find you there
But I didn't really know where I was headed
So I got lost somewhere
And you didn't even know

You don't care as long as you leave in a pair
There always is romance
You'll be fine as you keep up the flair
There always is romance
You don't care as long as you leave in a pair
There always is romance
You'll be fine as you keep up the flair
There always is romance

You don't care as long as you leave in a pair
There always is romance
You'll be fine as you keep up the flair
There always is romance
You don't care as long as you leave in a pair
There always is romance

You'll be fine as you keep up the flair
There always is romance

Overall Meaning

The song "Romance" by Pixx explores the concept of human relationships and the desire for romantic connections. The repeated lyrics "There always is romance" serve as a reminder that the idea of romance is ever-present, even when it's not visible or when relationships are failing. The lyrics suggest that people may settle for less in relationships or put up a façade to maintain their romantic image, rather than seeking genuine connections.

In the first verse, the singer expresses a reluctance to delve deeper into a relationship, possibly due to past experiences or fears of getting hurt. The line "Some say it's better on the outside" implies that relationships can be superficial and that people may prefer to keep things on the surface, avoiding the potential for emotional pain. The subsequent verse describes a scene where the singer goes to the cinema alone, emphasizing the theme of isolation and the struggles of finding genuine intimacy.

The second verse talks about the singer's journey to find someone, only to end up lost and unsure of where to go. The repetition of the line "And you didn't even know" suggests that the other person is unaware of the singer's feelings, reinforcing the idea that connections are often missed or unreciprocated. The chorus repeats the idea that people don't care about forming real connections, as long as they maintain their image and status in the eyes of others.

Overall, "Romance" is a commentary on the complexities of human relationships and the difficulties of finding true intimacy in a superficial world.

Absolutely love it! Saw them last night (first time hearing them) and they were so incredible, such a great stage presence. Told her how much I loved it and she seemed very genuine and thankful. Excited to hear more and will definitely try and see them again

Night Sunflower Not too sure to be honest. But the band she played with was amazing! Guitarist, drummer and a female keyboard/bassist as well. In fact, they are in this video! One of the shots in the changing room, they're all there with their instruments (from 2:30) I actually think they sound better live!
