Florence And The Machine All This And Heaven Too lyrics

 
And the heart is hard to translate,
It has a language of it's own,
It talks and tongues and quiet sighs and prayers and proclamations,
In the grand days of great men and the smallest of gestures,
In short shallow gasps.

But with all my education,
I can't seem to commend it,
And the words are all escaping me,
And coming back all damaged,
And I would put them back in poetry,
If I only knew how,
I can't seem to understand it,

And I would give all this and heaven too,
I would give it all if only for a moment,
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see,
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever,
But it never makes sense to me at all.

And it talks to me in tiptoes,
And sings to me inside,
It cries out in the darkest night,
And breaks in morning light.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/florence_and_the_machine/all_this_and_heaven_too.html ]
But with all my education,
I can't seem to commend it,
And the words are all escaping,
And coming back all damaged,
And I would put them back in poetry,
If I only knew how,
I can't seem to understand it,

And I would give all this and heaven too,
I would give it all if only for a moment,
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see,
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever,
But it never makes sense to me at all.

And I would give all this and heaven too,
I would give it all if only for a moment,
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see,
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever,
But it never makes sense to me at all.

No, words are a language,
It doesn't deserve such treatment,
And all my stumbling phrases,
Never amounted to anything worth this feeling,
All this heaven,
Never could describe such a feeling as I'm having,
Words were never so useful,
So I was screaming out a language that I never knew existed before.

The heart is confusing and always wants something different, yet it knows what it wants at that exact moment. It is difficult to translate and to understand, and then follow what the heart wants. "so i was screaming out a language that i never knew existed before," is when she finally realizes a way to show how her heart feels and to understand her own desires!

I think its about how she doesnt know exactly what love is, but at the end of the song, she is saying that any language can describe ehat it really means

I think she was trying to write a song on what love is but couldnt figure out exactly what it was. So she sang about how she would give everything and heaven too if she had the chance to figure out the mystery of this word.

I love this song. Why? I'm a gay christian male from san diego ( a big city mind you). For some reason i chose to believe that god loves me no matter what... As long as i follow the basic rules of life (i.e. No killing, stealing). This song evokes that god and love feeling. So to me "the word scrawled" is either the word "god" or "love"... Who knows.. But maybe in my head they are the same thing. Whatever the case is, this album has reaffirmed that god loves me, and god loves that i love others. Is that christianity? Who knows... What i know is that florence and the machine always affirm what i beleive spiritually... Weird how that works huh.

I think florence is just trying to tell how difficult it would be to translate what your heart is saying, like you can understand what it wants, but never understand why. Also, when she is saying how she has been "scrawling it forever" she mesns that she hasn't meant it until she could see what it really meant, which not a lot of people ever rrealize

The heart is love. It 'sings to her inside'. But language is unable to express that which is greater than reason. Language has been worked out by reasonable process and common consent but cannot encompass that which is beyond reason. The only way is to invent your own language but no one understands it. Florence has an advatage over poets though by using the language of music to express the ecstasy of life.

She is saying that love and any description or attempt to define the word is inadequate at best: the language she has access to in insufficient to describe what she feels at this moment. The words she has are no use and cannot do justice to this "language" that she finds herself speaking now.

I think she's wondering what love is. What's the definition of love?

Its like you've been lost in this world searching for something you can't see and desperately trying to understand what you can't feel and then out of nowhere something hits you like an explosion and all the pieces come together. And even though you may never be able to explain the feeling, you know that you've finally felt it. You're screaming out a language that you never knew existed before. :)
