What Is Love

Song meaning of Symphony by Clean Bandit ft Zara Larson


Zara Larsson and Clean Bandit's song "Symphony" is a moving tale of love, grief, and emotional recovery. The song, which was released in 2017, blends electronic beats with classical music components to provide a musical background for its deeper lyrical topics.


Fundamentally, "Symphony" conveys the idea that love is a powerful, transformational force. Similar to how several instruments come together to produce a symphony, the lyrics portray a partnership that offers harmony and completion. The lyrics "I'm sorry if it's all too much / Every day you're here, I'm healing" imply that, following a time of suffering or emptiness, a loved one's presence brings solace and emotional healing.


Nevertheless, the request, "Will you hold me tight and not let go?" also betrays an underlying sense of fragility and fear of losing that connection. This illustrates the brittle nature of love and the need for stability in a committed partnership.


The depiction of a conductor lamenting the death of his companion in the music video serves to emphasize this idea. This graphic depiction emphasizes the sorrow topic by illuminating how love may transform into longing while still encouraging beauty and introspection in our lives.


In the end, "Symphony" conveys the highs and lows of love by utilizing the metaphor of music to illustrate the depth of feelings that relationships may evoke, their capacity for healing, and the anguish that remains after a loss.


Symphony lyrics by Clean Bandit ft Zara Larson


[Zara Larsson:]

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

And 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?

 

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

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?
