Towers

In 'Towers,' Little Mix delves into the emotional aftermath of a failed relationship. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of love that once stood tall and strong, like towers, but has since crumbled due to neglect and emotional absence. The opening lines set the stage for this collapse, as the narrator learns that the walls of their relationship have come tumbling down, leaving them to piece together the story from friends and their own painful memories.

The chorus is particularly poignant, highlighting the emotional void left by a partner who never showed affection or support during the narrator's darkest times. The repeated imagery of 'towers' symbolizes the strength and potential of what their relationship could have been, but it also underscores the devastation of its downfall. The narrator's heart, once filled with love and hope, now feels 'nothing at all,' a stark contrast to the heights they once reached together.

Throughout the song, there's a sense of resignation and self-preservation. The narrator acknowledges the love they still feel when they see their former partner's face, but they also recognize the scars and tears that can't be erased. This internal conflict is evident in lines like 'When you're close I wanna change my mind, but I remember you and what we're like.' Ultimately, the narrator decides not to let their ex waste any more of their time, choosing to protect their heart from further pain. 'Towers' is a powerful anthem of self-respect and emotional resilience, capturing the bittersweet reality of moving on from a love that was never fully realized.
