Beloved Lyrics

Artist: VNV Nation
Album: Futureperfect

It's colder than before
The seasons took all they had come for
Now winter dances here
It seems so fitting don't you think?
To dress the ground in white and grey

It's so quiet I can hear
My thoughts touching every second
That I spent waiting for you
Circumstances affords me
No second chance to tell you
How much I've missed you

My beloved do you know
When the warm wind comes again
Another year will start to pass
And please don't ask me why I'm here
Something deeper brought me
Than a need to remember

We were once young and blessed with wings
No heights could keep us from their reach
No sacred place we did not soar
Still, greater things burned within us
I don't regret the choices that I've made
I know you feel the same

My beloved do you know
How many times I stared at clouds
Thinking that I saw you there
These are feelings that do not pass so easily
I can't forget what we claimed as ours

Moments lost though time remains
I am so proud of what we were
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that I might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits

My beloved do you know
When the warm wind comes again
Another year will start to pass
And please don't ask me why I'm here
Something deeper brought me
Than a need to remember

My beloved do you know
How many times I stared at clouds
Thinking that I saw you there
These are feelings that do not pass so easily
I can't forget what we claimed as ours

Moments lost though time remains
I am so proud of what we were
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that I might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits

Moments lost though time remains
I am so proud of what we were
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that I might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits

Moments lost though time remains
I am so proud of what we were
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that I might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits

That didn't make one damn bit of sense.

And yet, I think he's right. He forgot the lawn, though.

Oh Jesus, that was wise words ?

But let us obtain our enlightment while we still can.
by azariel on 9/8/2008 8:48am
what stupid statements about such a beautiful song.

this song is about letting go, and the human limitations which make it IMPOSSIBLE TO LOVE, and thus relationships delirious.

its about letting go and admitting theres nothing you can do.

I never was quite sure on this song until I had to put my beloved cat to sleep last Friday. And then I heard it played on Saturday, and suddenly the lines

No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that I might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits

made all the sense in the world, and the tears of happiness for her sake that she was happy to be out of her misery, and thankfulness for the twenty years we had together, started streaming down my face.

Control thy passions lest they take vengeance on thee.
by Lady Blue on 10/14/2008 6:26pm
I don't know who can claim that they can't find sense in this song...

only if they don't think much. or at all.
by Elijah the Prophet on 10/25/2008 12:59pm
It doesn't matter what opinions you have about it.The song means anything its just teh way you interpret. It could be biblical, it could be about love, or even your cat!

Please brothers don't argue.
by MachinaX on 11/12/2008 6:47am
many will never know the actual meaning behind this song as it is the passion and emotion of the artist. But to listen to this song and have it spark a personal emotion and to walk away with your own understanding of it is what truly makes it art
by Liessi on 11/12/2008 1:44pm
Watch a live version of this song and it will be immediately obvious that this is a beautiful paean to someone who has died. The love is still strongly felt and the spirit of the person is remembered and celebrated. Makes me cry every time I hear it.
by Angelique on 11/18/2008 11:14pm
It;s about my exboyfriend and I... the death of our relationship... sad as frickin...
by Lobo on 11/23/2008 11:05am
this song is about letting someone go.one of the most beautiful songs ever written. i wish we all had the power to do what the song says when things end...i m so proud of what we were,no pain remains no feeling,eternity awaits.....................
by MONGO on 11/28/2008 10:41am
I love this song because I loved my beloved the way he is intrepretting things .... I still love her but she is gone away.........
by dopamin on 12/19/2008 3:22pm
if you do not understand this words, if that music does not rock you, you have never really felt love
by Wings on 12/19/2008 9:05pm
I think it's about a love that transcends time.
by AndrewBC on 1/14/2009 1:31pm
I believe that it is spoken from the vantage point of one who once experienced a love so great, which, with certain circumstances unexplained, has been ended. This person is reflecting back on their life, ask not why this person is there, because it's deeper than a need to remember what once was. There is no regret in the choices that this person made, nor does this person believe that their other regrets. With all these moments lost, and no way to tell the other, this person wishes for wings like they once had, to be able to soar as they once did. This person is moving on, whether physically or mentally, this person has just shared with us their innermost emotions of the last remembrance of a love that shone so bright, before facing what comes after that love.

Of course, I could be wrong. :)
by To Lady Dark Emerald on 3/15/2009 10:00am
I understand. That's where alot of VNV's songs take me, too. I understand.
by just a dude on 3/15/2009 5:38pm
I remember listening to this song as a kid and thinking "wow this is some deep stuff"...and now it just so happens that today is the 6 month mark between the split between my ex girlfriend and me. we were together 2.5 years and this song really has really hit a chord with me.
by Duskwalker on 3/18/2009 7:35am
I agree with AndrewBC. When this song was new I had just broke up with my first real girfriend. Nowadays I am married and happy but I still think of my first when I hear this song. "The first cut is the deepest, eh?"
by Lady Shadow on 5/20/2009 8:58pm
The song is what you take from it. For me, it's about my last relationship with the guy who introduced me to the band and this song itself. We aren't together and most likely never will be again, but I never lost the feelings for him that are invoked by this song. *shrugs* Again, it's what you take from it.
by Amarantha on 8/4/2009 2:42am
It's all about a love lost forever in the depths of time,the love we know it's pointless to wait for,yet we do...i felt like this once,i never forgot...i still wait...
by Steven on 1/8/2010 10:34pm
This song is amazing along with illusion i can say those too songs brought me out of a bad meth addiction and made me remember what it was like to "feel" again.
by Exiled Angel on 2/12/2010 6:01pm
If you've ever loved and had to let go, this song is for you...
by yep on 3/6/2010 8:33am
yep
by darkangel on 4/28/2010 4:37am
This song is actually about suicide.

How many times I stared at clouds
Thinking that I saw you there

It's her dying and him thinking he sees her in heaven.
by Coriiander on 5/6/2010 11:54pm
Hey all,

As being an (non-professional) electronic dance producer I really admire VNV Nation for their productions (and songs in itself ofcourse). "Beloved" I find a real masterpiece production-wise. The arpeggio's keep stacking & stacking, yet the sound remains so clean and bright... The best is that Vii portamento string in the end. They really did something very special here, especially looking at the time this was produced. Big, sincere respect.
by The elders on 8/12/2010 2:21pm
... love this song!
by *suffix suffocation* on 10/22/2010 5:33pm
no pain remains, no feeling...
by Restless-Soul on 2/25/2011 7:12pm
Beloved-an intimate relationship of love
by rock-a-ma-doo on 4/1/2011 5:55pm
this song takes me to a place i'll soon be. after 30 plus years of marriage, its my anthem.
by Eumesmopo on 6/19/2011 11:51am
It's interesting how people's interpretation of this song says a lot more about the person making the interpretation than about the song itself.

Well, for me, this song is the story of a couple of majestic creatures that were once blessed with the ability to fly, but one the two has fallen from grace and now he mourns.
by Setaz on 1/11/2012 5:11pm
It's about losing someone, not as in a break up. The death of a loved one. I believe you actually have to experience such a thing to be able to fully understand this song, the pain that lies behind it. The song is amazing, the lyrics are too.

"Another year will start to pass
And please don't ask me why I'm here
Something deeper brought me
Than a need to remember"

I would believe it would basically play out as someone sitting/standing beside the grave of their loved one, talking.

"My beloved do you know
How many times I stared at clouds
Thinking that I saw you there"

Pretty simple. Most people believe in a heaven, and a hell. They believe heaven is up there, among the clouds. We look up at the clouds and think of our lost ones.

I love this song, and I love VNV Nation. I think that's all I would have to say.
