Florence + The Machine - Various Storms & Saints Lyrics






And the air was full
Of various storms and saints
Praying in the street
As the banks began to break
And I'm in the throes of it
Somewhere in the belly of the beast
But you took your toll on me
So I gave myself over willingly
You got a hold on me
And I don't know how I don't just stand outside and scream
I am teaching myself how to be free

The monument of a memory
You tear it down in your head
Don't make the mountain your enemy
Get out, get up there instead
You saw the stars out in front of you
Too tempting not to touch
But even though it shocked you
Something's electric in your blood

And people just untie themselves
Uncurling lifelines
If you could just forgive yourself

But still you stumble, feet give way
Outside the world seems a violent place
But you had to have him, and so you did
Some things you let go in order to live
While all around you, the buildings sway
You sing it out loud, "who made us this way?"
I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay
Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe
Hold on to your heart, don't give it away

You'll find a rooftop to sing from
Or find a hallway to dance
You don't need no edge to cling from
Your heart is there, it's in your hands
I know it seems like forever
I know it seems like an age
But one day this will be over
I swear it's not so far away

And people just untie themselves
Uncurling lifelines
If you could just forgive yourself

But still you stumble, feet give way
Outside the world seems a violent place
But you had to have him, and so you did
Some things you let go in order to live
While all around you, the buildings sway
You sing it out loud, "who made us this way?"
I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay
Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe
Hold on to your heart

    And I'm in the throes of it
    Somewhere in the belly of the beast
    But you took your toll on me
    So I gave myself over willingly
    Oh, you got a hold on me
    I don't know how I don't just stand outside and scream
    I am teaching myself how to be free

    The monument of a memory
    You tear it down in your head
    Don't make the mountain your enemy

    this song goes straight to my heart

    Has to be my favourite florence love song. Oddly a song to herself. I believe she struggled with this song and it nearly didn't make it on the album as she felt it was written in a low place and didn't feel that way when choosing songs for the final cut. So glad she kept this in. So beautiful like florence.

    They need better advertising, this art needs more circulation.. 🌝
