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
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
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

1:34 SO GORGEOUS
O e of my favourite songs of all the time. It has something really special that goes straight to your heart and soul. Something divine. Thank you Florence for this pure art.
So haunting so beautiful so ugh
I like it very much!
HBHBHB is by far my favourite album. The visuals, vocals, melodies just make this holy union.
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
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
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
Thank you
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.. 🌝
