Released on 12 January 2013, the track reached number 2 on the UK Chart, making it the band's highest charting single to date alongside their The Rhythm of the Night re-imagining, Of The Night.But what's the meaning behind one of their biggest tracks?It turns out, the song is aptly name as it was inspired by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii. We were left in charge of ourselves, and we have no progress,"nothing to show". Of course, later on it becomes clear that the "I" isn't the only one to blame, when the song goes on to sing about "our vices" and "our sins".

Bastille (stylised as BΔSTILLE) are an English alternative rock band formed in 2010.
I think it's this endless cycle of "sins and vices". While I myself am not sure of what the true meaning is, Bastille (the band) stated in an interview with NovaFm that they wrote the song after learning of the "statues" that were created when Mount Vesuvias erupted in Pompeii. I love how deep it is too.
The song mentions sins and vices a lot. Remember still skipping classes every year after? It says "I was left to my own devices", which, for me, makes it very personal: I fucked up again. And the song is telling the listener that you see your world collapsing around you, but if you close your eyes, this has been happening your whole life. It could be about relapsing into drugs again, or going back to drinking. 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.

I love it. Actually after I saw the movie.. The irony that this is often played on radio when I'm at (my unfulfilling) work :/ "So, the song is sort of an imaginary conversation between these two people who are stuck next to each other in their sort of tragic death pose".He added, jokingly: "Which you know is just your kind of average pop song topic!" The Enemy Love your interpretation! Smith explained the song's meaning to The Sun: "Pompeii is actually an imagined conversation between two charred corpses reflecting on the city." "Pompeii" is a song by British band Bastille. We might suddenly see ourselves stuck, petrified in lava, our life taking a turn for the worse, but if we closed our eyed, we'd realize that we were always stuck, we were watching this enfold the entire time and did nothing about it. "And it's just such a kind of dark powerful image, and it got me thinking about how boring it must have been emotionally after the event. The group began as a solo project by lead vocalist Dan Smith, but later expanded to include keyboardist Kyle Simmons, bassist and guitarist Will Farquarson and drummer Chris "Woody" Wood. Apparently, the lyrics are meant to represent a sort of "conversation" between two of these statues, and how they must have felt in their last moments of life. The name of the band derives from Bastille Day, which is celebrated on 14 July, the date of Smith's birthday.. After an independently … Through that even but in the personal way off course!.. I am totally agree with you... He added: "But that's why I don't like explaining a lot of my songs literally as it sounds bonkers – a song about two corpses yet the crowd are happily dancing along!"
In A.D. 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted: “Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above.” It hadn’t erupted in 1800 years before that, so the people had no idea it was even a volcano.

However, for me, intuitively, interpreting it on the relationship-level does make more sense. I have wondered why, and I guess it is because of the opening sentence. I agree with this interpretation and I agree that it is very bright, genius in fact! The orator obviously feels stuck in his situation. Bastille Feat. Remember skipping your first class? [French, from Old French, fortress, alteration of bastide, from Old Provençal bastida, from bastir, to build, of Germanic origin.] Remember skipping class almost every other day? Things have altered, his life is falling apart due to stagnation and inaction, but it seems like it's the same.
