When Love Kills Love
Scorpions Lyrics

When love kills love
This line is repeated throughout the song and suggests that love can be destructive and harmful to the happiness and well-being of individuals.

Suddenly I think I always knew
The singer realizes that they had an intuition about the relationship being doomed, but they chose to ignore their gut feeling.

I had my share of mistakes
The singer acknowledges that they made errors in the relationship, which contributed to its downfall.

Made quite a few
The errors were not minor but rather significant enough to impact the relationship negatively.

Finally I know and that's for sure
The artist has come to a clear understanding of what went wrong in the relationship and is confident about the decisions they made.

I don't look back in anger anymore
The singer has moved beyond the negative emotions and resentment towards the relationship and has learned to let go of the past.

Suddenly the sun comes up again
The singer sees hope and positivity in their life after the relationship ended, like the sun rising after a dark night.

There's a new beginning
The end of the relationship can signify a fresh start in one's life.

When we pass the end
The end of the relationship presents an opportunity for growth and moving forward.

Will someone rescue me
The artist feels overwhelmed and helpless in the face of the destruction caused by the toxic relationship and is looking for external support.

It's cutting through so deep
The pain and suffering caused by the failed relationship is severe and debilitating.

Suddenly I wake up from the dream
The artist realizes that the relationship they thought was perfect and would last forever was nothing more than an illusion.

Someone tells me
The realization was jarring and required someone to point it out for the singer to fully understand.

I've been talking in the sleep
The singer had been unaware of their true feelings towards the relationship, and it took a revelation like this to see the truth.

I don't believe in daydreams anymore
The singer has learned a valuable lesson and is no longer willing to romanticize or idealize relationships.

Well life goes 'round
Life is unpredictable and can change in unexpected ways, such as relationships taking a turn for the worse.

And upside down
The change can be drastic and can completely shift one's life upside down.

It's pretty mad
The situation is unstable and chaotic, making it difficult to navigate.

Will someone set me free
The singer feels trapped in the aftermath of the relationship, and is looking for a way to move forward and heal.

How can we choose
The artist questions how it's possible to make the right decisions in love when the stakes are so high and emotions are intertwined.

When all we lose
The consequences of a failed relationship can be significant, such as losing time, money, and ultimately, one's heart.

Is all we have
Despite the devastating effects of a failed relationship, it can still feel like the only thing one has left to hold onto.

We run away
The singer acknowledges that people sometimes try to escape the pain of a failed relationship by avoiding it altogether.

From all the pain
The pain caused by the relationship seems unbearable, leading people to avoid it altogether.
