BASTILLE


Pompeii Lyrics

I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show

And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us

And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

Oh, where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh, where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?

And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?

What? the song is about the destruction of Pompeii by the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius. Maybe if you close your eyes, everything will turn out ok. But its hard to be an optimist about that when the lava is flowing in over you.

I believe the song is about loss. About loss of love? About the lost life of someone? About the loss of hope? And the walls come tumbling down... in the city that you love. I feel the despair in, how can I be an optimist. And I feel the desire to pretend that everything's ok, when you close your eyes it's though nothing's changed at all

This song makes u think it comforting and really makes u feel relaxed cause if u close your eyes does it almost feel like u have been her before and if u close your eyes do u feel like nothing changed at all??? That is what I am currently feeling
