Glorious - Foxes
Meaning: Something is wrong and the teardrops are falling... Don't give it up, don't give it up, it's glorious. Foxes is right to talk about sacrifice, tears, and glory in the same breath - she's singing about love...
Meaning of Glorious: Foxes' vocals and 3 different accompanying beats take Glorious through three distinct movements you have to suffer through if you want true love. Verse one is the pain and tears of separation, of being left a lone - when I drown my eyes in the river flowing, you said you'll stay just a little more. Verse 2 shows the love and hope that still survive in Foxes dreams - when I close my eyes. Finally, Glorious ends with simple facts - along with initially stripped down, almost recited lyrics: the only real recipe for true love is self-giving. I give it everything, I'll give it everything now - even when something is wrong, when love seems gone.
Ask Yourself: Is your love glorious?
Music Video: Still waiting...

LYRICS:
Hollow ground and I keep on falling
Breathing in but it's not enough
When I drown my eyes in the river flowing
You said you'll stay just a little more
'Cause the fate is untold
I still hear it calling
But something is wrong
The teardrops are falling
Just before they hit the ground
Oh when I hear you say
Oh when I hear you say
Don't give it up, don't give it up, it's glorious
Don't give it up, don't give it up, it's glorious
No, I can't help it, no, I can't help it
Don't wanna stay or run away
No, I can't help it, no, I can't help it
I close my eyes and I feel your heartbeat
A deep blue sea rushes over me
When the thunder cracks, I feel the warmth around me
'Cause I found a prize I don't even hold
'Cause the fate is untold
I still hear it calling
But something is wrong
The teardrops are falling
Just before they hit the ground
Oh when I hear you say
Oh when I hear you say
Don't give it up, don't give it up, it's glorious
Don't give it up, don't give it up, it's glorious
No, I can't help it, no, I can't help it
Don't wanna stay or run away
No, I can't help it, no, I can't help it
When the time is right, when there's no way out
And I am losing something I ain't got
When the love is gone and I'm all alone
I give it everything, I'll give it everything now
When the time is right, when there's no way out
I give it everything, I'll give it everything now
When the time is right, when there's no way out
And I am losing something I ain't got
When the love is gone and I'm all alone
I give it everything, I'll give it everything now
When the time is right, when there's no way out
I give it everything, I'll give it everything now
