Discover the story of the song > Loud Places – Jamie xx

The lyrics are about the protagonist and his former partner, who used to go to loud places together. The protagonist is now alone and his partner has moved on and is going to new places with someone else. The protagonist questions whether he took his partner to 'higher places' and expresses how he feels left alone. The song ends with the realization that the partner is now happy without him and he won't be there when she 'comes down'.
