Particles
Worldfly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We shut out everything to see each other
Over and over, you would come over
Seemed like such a good idea
Feels like two small doves caught in a hurricane
Two little cupids firing broken arrows
Over and over, you would come over
Particles fall apart
It's hard to recall the start
It's hard to recall the start with you
We said everything we wanted to say
You can't move on but you just can't stay
Seemed like all good things could never meet an end
All good things turn into jealous lovers
Over and over, talking it over
Burning up the atmosphere
Feels like we're in orbit coming round again
Two little suns above a distant planet
Over and over, talking it over
‘till we eclipse and disappear
Particles fall apart
It's hard to recall the start
It's hard to recall the start with you
We said everything we wanted to say
You can't move on but you just can't stay
Particles fall apart
It's hard to recall the start
It's hard to recall the start with you
We said everything we wanted to say
You can't move on but you just can't stay
We said everything we wanted to say
You can't move on but you just can't stay
The lyrics of Worldfly's song "Particles" seem to describe a relationship that started out with a lot of promise and potential, but has since fallen apart. The first verse paints a picture of two people who were completely infatuated with each other, shutting everything else out to be together. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that their love was fleeting and ultimately unsustainable. The chorus repeats that "particles fall apart", emphasizing the idea that their relationship has crumbled into nothing.
The second verse likens their relationship to two small doves caught in a hurricane, or two little cupids firing broken arrows. These images suggest that their love was meant to be pure and innocent, but it became chaotic and damaging. Despite this, they continue to talk things over and try to make it work, but it seems as though they're just going in circles. The bridge emphasizes the difficulty in moving on from something that was once so good, but has now turned sour.
Overall, "Particles" is a bittersweet song about the difficulties of love and the pain of letting go. It captures the conflicting emotions that come with the end of a relationship - the sadness of losing something that was once beautiful, but also the relief of finally being able to move on.
