About This Track

'Weakness' by Robbie Williams is a track from 'Under the Radar, Vol. 2' (2017). The lyrics picture someone fleeing silence for something more volatile, believing that connection might “cure” them, only for their weakness to grow stronger day by day. Despite admitting a chequered past, the narrator casts themselves as fallen in the line of beauty, then settles on a specific kind of attachment as the thing that intensifies. A relationship is framed as both refuge and accelerator, with the refrain logic turning personal fault into a daily intensification.

"Weakness" is a track by Robbie Williams, from the album Under the Radar, Vol. 2, released 30th November 2017. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Robbie Williams.

Lyrics

Weakness

[Verse 1]

Ran away from silence to the fury

Hope I find someone there that could cure me

I went to the world

My weakness got stronger every day

Though my chequered history's appalling

In the line of beauty I lay fallen

I found a girl

She's my weakness, gets stronger every day

Every day

[Chorus]

I can't promise I will love you for the rest of your life

But you know I'm gonna be there for the rest of mine

We pour our hearts into a box

Seal that box with chains and locks

And then we hide it

Don't dare look inside it

In case the feeling shows

You could spend all your life with that damn box

Trying to keep it closed

[Verse 2]

Went around the world in 80 lovers

Don't think really anyone recovered

Go see the world

Let your weakness get stronger every day

Every day

[Chorus]

I took photographs of Mars

Left my footprints on the Moon

I wanted the universe

Then they sent you

We pour our hearts into a box

Seal that box with chains and locks

And then we hide it

Don't dare look inside it

In case the feeling shows

You could spend all your life with that damn box

Trying to keep it closed

[Instrumental bridge]

[Chorus]

We pour our hearts into a box

Seal that box with chains and locks

And then we hide it

Don't dare look inside it

In case the feeling shows

We could spend all our lives with that damn box

Trying to keep it closed
