Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Warm hearts,
Hands held together hiding from the dark,
Real world,
Busy Street,
Can you taste the rythem rise from everyone you meet?
Count it in and hear the beat
Move to till become complete
Celtic love.
Put your hands together
put your arms around your girl
and your love will make a circle that reaches all around the world
Put your hands together
Put your arms around your girl
and your love will make a circle that reaches all around the world
Street lights
Suburban streets
Wands left behind her dancing cheek to cheek
tears fall
for you
when you find your hearts desire you'll know just what to do
Count it in and hear the beat
Move to till become complete
Save a dance for me,
Celtic love.
Put your hands together
put your arms around your girl
and your love will make a circle that reaches all around the world
Put your hands together
Put your arms around your girl
and your love will make a circle that reaches all around the world
i want you to know
before i go
that i dont fear the sound of wind
i want you to know
you are everything ive ever seen with my eyes
Put your hands together
put your arms around your girl
and your love will make a circle that reaches all around the world
Put your hands together
Put your arms around your girl
and your love will make a circle that reaches all around the world
Put your hands together
Put your arms around your girl
and your love will make a circle that reaches all around the world.
The song "All Around the World" by The High Kings is a romantic ballad about the power of love to transcend borders and bring people together. The first stanza describes a cold night in a busy street, where people are holding hands and dancing to the rhythm that rises from everyone they meet. The chorus invites listeners to put their hands together and wrap their arms around their partner, creating a circle of love that reaches all around the world. The second stanza mentions a woman who has left behind her wand, an allusion to Celtic mythology, and cries for a lost love. However, the lyrics suggest that true love can be found by counting in and hearing the beat, moving until one becomes complete, and saving a dance for someone special.
The final stanza reveals that the singer is not afraid of the sound of wind, and that the person they are addressing is everything they have ever seen with their eyes. This reinforces the idea that love can connect people across distance and time, and that it can overcome any obstacles that may stand in its way. The song's use of Celtic motifs and references to traditional Irish music add layers of depth and meaning, making it a tribute to both the power of love and the enduring legacy of Celtic culture.
