Symphony
Zara Larsson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been hearing symphonies
Before, all I heard was silence
A rhapsody for you and me
And every melody is timeless
Life was stringing me along
Then you came and you cut me loose
Was solo, singing on my own
Now I can't find the key without you

And now your song is on repeat
And I'm dancin' on to your heartbeat
And when you're gone, I feel incomplete
So, if you want the truth

I just wanna be part of your symphony
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Symphony
Like a love song on the radio
Will you hold me tight and not let go?

I'm sorry if it's all too much
Every day you're here, I'm healing
And I was runnin' out of luck
I never thought I'd find this feeling
'Cause I've been hearing symphonies
Before all I heard was silence
A rhapsody for you and me
(A rhapsody for you and me)
And every melody is timeless

And now your song is on repeat
And I'm dancin' on to your heartbeat
And when you're gone, I feel incomplete
So, if you want the truth

I just wanna be part of your symphony
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Symphony
Like a love song on the radio
Will you hold me tight and not let go?

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah ah, ah

And now your song is on repeat
And I'm dancin' on to your heartbeat
And when you're gone, I feel incomplete
So, if you want the truth (oh)

I just wanna be part of your symphony
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Symphony
Like a love song on the radio
Symphony
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Symphony




Like a love song on the radio
Will you hold me tight and not let go?

Overall Meaning

Zara Larsson’s song Symphony is a heartfelt composition about the overwhelming feeling of being in love. The lyrics describe the emotions of a person who had been living life without much meaning or direction, listening only to the silence around them. However, their world changes when they meet someone who magically fills it with symphonies, rhapsodies and timeless melodies.


The song opens with the line “I've been hearing symphonies, before all I heard was silence” which sets the tone of the whole composition. The person feels like they have finally found their rightful place in the world, thanks to the love they share with their significant other. The chorus is the most memorable part of the song as it repeats the question, “Will you hold me tight and not let go?” emphasising the importance of their partner to them.


The lyrics deliver a message that being in love is similar to listening to a symphony. It may not always be perfect, but it is beautiful when everything falls into place, and the melodies and rhythms all flow together. They implore their partner to hold them tightly and never let go, like the climax of a symphony where every instrument comes together to create a beautiful sound.


The theme of the song is all about the beauty and magic of love, the kind of love that cannot and should not be ignored. The lyrics are emotive and heartfelt, and the melody is catchy, making it a song that many people can relate to.


Line by Line Meaning

I've been hearing symphonies
I've been experiencing emotions so powerful, they feel like a symphony


Before all I heard was silence
Before meeting you, I felt empty and incomplete


A rhapsody for you and me
Our love is like an intricate and free-flowing musical composition


And every melody is timeless
Our love transcends time and will always be remembered


Life was stringing me along
Life was leading me on with meaningless experiences


Then you came and you cut me loose
Then you came and showed me a meaningful and fulfilling life


Was solo singing on my own
I was living a lonely and unfulfilling life by myself


Now I can't find the key without you
Now I can't be happy without you


And now your song is on repeat
And now I can't stop thinking about you and our love


And I'm dancin' on to your heartbeat
And I'm living my life in rhythm with yours


And when you're gone, I feel incomplete
And when you're not here, I feel like a part of me is missing


I just wanna be part of your symphony
I just want to be a part of your life and love


Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Will you love me forever and never leave me?


Like a love song on the radio
Like a perfect love song that never gets old


I'm sorry if it's all too much
I'm sorry if my love is overwhelming


Every day you're here, I'm healing
Every day you're here, my heart is mending and becoming whole


And I was runnin' out of luck
And I was losing hope of finding true love


I never thought I'd find this feeling
I never thought I'd find such a deep and fulfilling love

@@Thawhid BIBLE calls us all to be real, sober minded souls, who live holy lives on earth.
BIBLE calls nor expect nobody to be:
- religious of any kind
- monk
- nun
BIBLE expect us to turn our LACK OF KNOWLEDGE into KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH (HOSEA 4:6)
Each human life on earth:
- repent
- BORN AGAIN and GO AND SIN NO MORE
- be baptised in HOLY SPIRIT /THE COMFORTER
- LIVE HOLY
= soul, after earthly death in HEAVEN. Easy logic, asks no degree in anything.

Bible calls us to give out RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT, no to keep our mouth shut and support everything with blind eyes and deaf ears.

See no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil – that old saying, it belongs to masons, am I right again? The vow of silence of theirs.

SOULS, dare to read and study BIBLE (KJV) and search about FREEMASONRY.

This song reminds me of a girl/ friend of mine who died after a skiing accident. She hit a tree and her heart had stopped. She was in the hospital for a few days and then her parents decided to take her off of life support. She’s been gone for a few years now but every time I hear this song I think of her. She passed away in grade 6 and she’s supposed to be going into grade 10 this year. I miss you Marin. Your friends miss you! We all miss you Marin. We will tell you all about it when we see you again! We love you Marin! RIP Marin!

(Edit:) Thank you all so much for your love. I really really appreciate it. It was very very hard to say goodbye to Marin.

(Edit 2:) guys please please stop making rude comments on this. If you don’t have anything nice to say then please don’t say anything at all. Marin’s parents decided to take her off of life support because there was nothing the doctors could do. No money wasn’t a reason why they took her off of life support. Here in Canada we don’t have to pay for hospital bills.



Edit (3) thank you to the kind people who commented on my story and gave their love to Marin even though they don’t know who Marin is. I do miss Marin every day and I wish that there was something that the doctors could do. Marin’s parents made the right decision to take her off of life support. They didn’t let Marin suffer in any way by choosing to keep her on life support. Even if Marin lived through it, there would be many medical problems that would probably put her behind of her class. Marin sadly let behind a younger sister to grow up on her own without having her big sister
