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...

Music Video: Still waiting...

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?

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
