Hear the Bells Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Living in a cruel world
Trudging with my feet in the snow
On a day out, and into the night now
Doctor, I've been walking by the side of the road
For a long time, and I'm going out of my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
It's so far from me now
But oh, I can hear the sound
It's so far from me now
But oh, I can hear the sound
It's so far from me now
But oh, I can hear the sound
It's so far from me now
But oh, I can hear the sound

[Chorus]
Can't you hear the bells sing in Cologne?
You won't hear it on the radio
Madness is the hero carnival
Can't you hear the bells?

[Verse 2]
Sitting on a rooftop
Crazy days are coming again
I've been running
But I'll be hidden in the masquerade

[Pre-Chorus]
It's so far from me now
But oh, I can hear the sound
It's so far from me now
But oh, I can hear the sound

[Chorus]
Can't you hear the bells sing in Cologne?
You won't hear it on the radio
Madness is the hero carnival
Can't you hear the bells?

[Bridge]
It's so far from me now
Oh, I can hear the sound
It's so far from me now
Oh, I can hear the sound
It's so far from me now
Oh, I can hear the sound
It's so far from me now
Oh, I can hear the sound

[Chorus]
Can't you hear the bells sing in Cologne?
You won't hear it on the radio
Madness is the hero carnival
You won't hear it on the radio
Can't you hear the bells sing in Cologne?
You won't hear it on the radio
Madness is the hero carnival
Can't you hear the bells sing in Cologne?

What did Porter Robinson say about "Hear the Bells"?

Genius Answer

“Hear The Bells”… Yeah, I think it’s quite pretty. I wanted a song that had big kind of like explosive climax type thing. That started on the one-major, without sounding cheesy or overly silly. I wanted to use a chord progression that felt triumphant, but also a little happy. And, I loved the Imaginary Cities vocal… Yeah".
