Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(As I watch you)
This is the sound of my tears falling
As I watch you
Walk you walk out the door once again
And I'd meant
You've got to go
But I'll cry just the same
I just love the pain
This is the sound of my heart breaking
As I realise you have not noticed me cry
And you know
You've got to go
But we'll put on one last show
Once again
Oh, Its tragedy and
Comedy
All rolled into one
One moment we are
Crying
The next we are having fun
This is the sound of our hearts beating
As we makeup and break up and
Make up again
And we know
We've got to go
But we'll hold on tighter still
Cos I guess we just love the pain
Oh, it's
Tragedy mm, and
Comedy
All rolled into one
One moment we are
Staying
The next we want to run
This is the sound of our hearts breaking
As we realise
Our time has come to an end
When we know
We've gotta go
Our show is over so
I guess we don't need the pain
Oh, I guess we don't need the pain
Need the pain
Need the pain
Need the pain
In "The Sound," Frankie Beagle expresses the emotional journey of a turbulent relationship, highlighting the irony that sometimes we find comfort in the pain. The lyrics depict a cycle of heartbreak, longing, and eventual acceptance.
In the first verse, the sound of tears falling represents the sadness and hopelessness that accompanies watching someone we love walk out the door repeatedly. Although the singer knows they should let go, they continue to cry and endure the pain, suggesting a masochistic attachment to the relationship.
The second verse portrays the sound of a heart breaking, emphasizing the realization that the other person has not noticed or acknowledged the singer's suffering. Despite knowing that it is time to let go, they put on one last show, combining tragedy and comedy. This juxtaposition reflects the conflicting emotions experienced within the relationship, where moments of sadness are interwoven with moments of joy.
The third verse illustrates the sound of two hearts beating, representing the cycles of making up and breaking up that typify their dynamic. Although they know they should let go, they hold on tighter, still craving the pain. The repeated reference to tragedy and comedy indicates that their relationship is a mix of both, creating a rollercoaster of emotions.
In the final chorus, the sound of hearts breaking portrays the bitter realization that their time together is coming to an end. Though they know they must leave, they also acknowledge that their show is over and there is no longer a need for pain. This suggests a moment of growth and acceptance, where they recognize that they no longer need to endure the pain that has become familiar in their relationship.
Overall, "The Sound" captures the tumultuous journey of a relationship filled with heartbreak, longing, and resignation. It explores the contradictory nature of human emotions and the paradoxical desire to hold onto pain, even when it no longer serves a purpose.

This is the sound of my tears falling
The audible manifestation of my sorrow
As I watch you
While I observe your actions
Walk you walk out the door once again
Witnessing your departure repeatedly
And I'd meant
And I had intended
You've got to go
You must leave
But I'll cry just the same
Nevertheless, I will shed tears
'Cos I guess
Because I suppose
I just love the pain
I simply enjoy the suffering

The auditory representation of my emotional devastation
As I realise you have not noticed me cry
When I comprehend that you have not acknowledged my tears
And you know
And you are aware
You've got to go
You need to depart
