"Pompeii" by Bastille

 Watch the video and pay attention to the places that appear.


What places does the singer visit?
Watch the video again and fill in the gaps. What's the meaning of those words?

“Pompeii” by Bastille

I was left to my own devi-i-i-i-ces

Many days 1.____________ with nothing to show

 

And the walls kept 2. _________________

In the city that we love

Gray clouds 3. _________________ the hills

Bringing darkness from above

 

But if you close your eyes

Does it almost 4. _______________

Nothing changed at all?

And if you close your eyes

Does it almost 5. _______________

You've been here before?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

 

We were 6.________________ and lost in all of our vices

In your pose as the dust settled around us

 

And the walls kept 7. ______________

In the city that we love

Gray clouds 8. _______________ the hills

Bringing darkness from above

 

But if you close your eyes

Does it almost 8. ______________

Nothing changed at all?

And if you close your eyes

Does it almost 9. ________________

You've been here before?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

 

Eheu aul aul

 

Oh where do we begin?

The rubble or our sins?

Oh oh where do we begin?

The rubble or our sins?

 

And the walls kept 10. ______________ (oh where do we begin?)

In the city that we love (the rubble or our sins?)

Gray clouds 11. _________________ the hills (oh where do we begin?)

Bringing darkness from above (the rubble or our sins?)

 

But if you close your eyes

Does it almost 12. ____________________

Nothing changed at all?

And if you close your eyes

Does it almost 13. ______________

You've been here before?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

 

If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

 

Eheu aul aul
