About Pompeii

"Pompeii" is a song by British pop rock band Bastille. It is the fourth single from their debut studio album, Bad Blood, and was released on 11 January 2013. The song's title and lyrics refer to the Roman town of the same name that was destroyed and buried in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. "Pompeii" became the band's breakthrough hit, peaking at number two on the UK Singles Chart and became the eleventh best-selling song that year and, until June 2014, was the country's most streamed single of all time. .

Pompeii Lyrics

[00:02.68] Eh, eheu, eheu
[00:04.39] Eh, eheu, eheu
[00:06.26] Eh, eheu, eheu
[00:08.25] Eh, eheu, eheu
[00:09.84] Eh, eheu, eheu
[00:11.64] Eh, eheu, eheu
[00:13.95] Eh, eheu, eheu
[00:15.69] Eh, eheu, eheu
[00:17.75] I was left to my own devices
[00:25.32] Many days fell away with nothing to show
[00:32.28] And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
[00:39.93] Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above
[00:48.33] But if you close your eyes
[00:50.74] Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
[00:55.67] And if you close your eyes
[00:58.68] Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
[01:04.60] How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
[01:08.29] How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
[01:12.73] We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
[01:19.53] In your pose as the dust settled around us
[01:26.78] And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
[01:34.38] Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above
[01:42.50] But if you close your eyes
[01:45.40] Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
[01:50.17] And if you close your eyes
[01:53.63] Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
[01:59.16] How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
[02:02.82] How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
[02:07.45] Eheu, eheu
[02:08.76] Eh, eheu, eheu
[02:10.88] Eh, eheu, eheu
[02:12.48] Eh, eheu, eheu
[02:14.56] Oh, where do we begin?
[02:17.97] The rubble or our sins?
[02:22.16] Oh, oh, where do we begin?
[02:25.13] The rubble or our sins?
[02:29.01] And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
[02:36.56] Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above
[02:45.04] But if you close your eyes
[02:47.79] Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
[02:52.46] And if you close your eyes
[02:55.39] Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
[03:01.02] How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
[03:05.08] How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
[03:07.94] If you close your eyes
[03:10.38] Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
[03:16.46] Eh, eheu, eheu
[03:18.34] Eh, eheu, eheu
[03:20.28] Eh, eheu, eheu
[03:21.97] Eh, eheu, eheu
[03:23.96] Eh, eheu, eheu
[03:25.76] Eh, eheu, eheu
[03:27.97] Eh, eheu, eheu
[03:29.75] Eh, eheu, eheu
[03:31.38]
