About This Quote

When I'm with you, bells go off in my head like a moving truck that's backing up. - The song “The Bells” by the American singer Adele is a great example of this quote in terms of how it applies to relationships. Although there are many different things that could be referred to as bells, the metaphor is actually quite simple. When we are in a relationship, our thoughts all have a tendency to run together and be in a constant state of motion.

Adele illustrates this idea beautifully when she sings: “The bells go off in my head like a moving truck that’s backing up,” she says. The same idea applies to relationships in general, where our thoughts often run together and move at an accelerated pace. This is because we spend so much time thinking about our romantic partner and what they mean to us, the love we share with them, why they are special to us and what we can do to make them happy.
