This Is the Sound of Your Voice Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
All we are is an aching that can barely be filled
But if you could just hold me for a moment, I'd be thrilled
And you tell him you love him, but you don't really know
But it seems like the perfect thing to say before you go
[Verse 2]
Did the doctor just speak then? All you heard was a whirl
Sounded like "Congratulations, sir, it is a girl"
And Belfast continues, never doubted it wouldn't
It's climbed off the canvas more than any other city could've
[Pre-Chorus]
I've waited for your love so long, dear
I've waited for your love so long
[Chorus]
You're fearless, I hear this
And I'll be here falling in love with the sound of your voice
You're golden, stop holding
Onto the memories that rise from the depths of the noise
[Verse 3]
Your father was shouting 'cause your name caught the wind
And you ran home through rain and muddy streets to get to him
No, I don't have an answer, no, I don't understand
But I'll still be here rooting for you, holding out my hand
[Pre-Chorus]
I've waited for your love so long, dear
I've waited for your love so long
[Chorus]
You're fearless, I hear this
And I'll be here falling in love with the sound of your voice
You're golden, stop holding
Onto the memories that rise from the depths of the noise
[Outro]
This is the sound of your voice, it's the way home to everything
This is the sound of your voice, it's the way home to everything
Ah-ah, ah-ah
This is the sound of your voice, it's the way home to everything
Ah-ah, ah-ah
[Verse 1: Snow Patrol]
In the first verse, the singer reflects on the emptiness they feel, an "aching" that seems unfillable. The simple act of being held, even for a brief moment, brings immense comfort. There’s a reference to telling someone you love them without truly understanding the depth of that emotion, as if saying it is merely the right thing to do before parting ways.
[Verse 2: Snow Patrol]
The second verse introduces a fragmented memory, possibly of birth or significant life events. The mention of hearing "congratulations, it is a girl" may refer to the emotional weight of a life-changing moment that wasn’t fully comprehended. The mention of Belfast climbing off the canvas hints at the city’s resilience, much like the relationship the singer is contemplating—weathering hardship and surviving challenges.
[Pre-Chorus: Snow Patrol]
Here, the singer reveals their long wait for love, emphasizing the patience and hope they've held onto. This waiting underlines the emotional distance or time that has passed, reflecting their yearning for a deeper connection.
[Chorus: Snow Patrol]
In the chorus, the singer describes the loved one as "fearless" and "golden," traits that they admire and are captivated by. They express their love for the sound of their voice, suggesting that even in the midst of emotional noise and chaos, the voice brings clarity and comfort. The memories that resurface from this noise are painful, yet the voice cuts through, offering a sense of peace.
[Verse 3: Snow Patrol]
This verse touches on another significant memory, where the loved one’s name is shouted through the wind, perhaps by a father figure. The image of running home through the rain evokes a sense of urgency and longing to be close to family. Though the singer admits they don’t have answers, they remain steadfast in their support, offering love and encouragement despite uncertainty.
[Pre-Chorus: Snow Patrol]
The repetition of waiting for love emphasizes the depth of the singer's patience and the significance of the emotional connection they seek. The feeling of waiting is central to the emotional landscape of the song.
[Chorus: Snow Patrol]
Once again, the singer affirms their love for the sound of the voice, reiterating that it holds a special place in their heart. The memories that arise from this connection are complex, but they are essential to understanding the relationship.
[Outro: Snow Patrol]
The outro emphasizes the voice as a guiding force, leading the way back to everything that matters. The repetition of "this is the sound of your voice" conveys that this voice is the key to finding one's way home, both physically and emotionally. It becomes a symbol of safety, love, and belonging.
