Heavy In Your Arms

Hey. I've been so busy studying for finals and regents, but they are all over! My summer vacay has officially begun!

"My love has concrete feet, my love is an iron ball, wrapped around your ankles over the waterfall." -Florence and the Machine

This lyric is from the song "Heavy In Your Arms" on the Eclipse Soundtrack. I love the metaphors in this lyric. Comparing love to an iron ball that is wrapped around your lovers ankles is just genious. Iron is the most magnetic piece of metal, which is much like love that attaches you to someone. The fact that she says her love has concrete feet is so profound. Like love that doesn't move but can be broken. This lyric captures my heart. <3
