Love?
Strapping Young Lad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love is a way of feeling, oh
Love is a way of feeling less alone
So what's all the fuss about?!?
Fuck it!
Love; the paradox of needing
Oh love,
Make way for breeding
Give it to me! give it to me!
Fuck you and your talk of love!
I know what I stand for;
I stand for me!!!
I'll wait for the night to come
So far, suicide at home
For I'm not the man you know
This love is about control!
Oh what a feeling!!!!!
Oh what a feeding!!!!!
Know the chosen ones are here!
All hail!!!
Shit, fucker!
I'll wait for the night to come
So far, suicide at home
For I'm not the man you know
This love,
It's about control!
You fuckers!
All in the name of love
All in the name of love
All in the name of love
The lyrics to “Love?” by Strapping Young Lad are intense and provocative. The song seems to be a commentary on the concept of love and the contradiction it holds. Love is expressed as a way of feeling less alone, but also a paradox of needing. This suggests that while love can be comforting, it can also be a driving force that controls people. The lines “give it to me, give it to me, fuck you and your talk of love” suggest a resentment towards the idea of love and a desire for control and power.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, emphasizing the idea that love is about control. The line “for I’m not the man you know, this love is about control” indicates that love can change people and make them do things they wouldn’t normally do. The use of expletives throughout the song intensifies the message and emphasizes the frustration felt by the singer.
Overall, “Love?” by Strapping Young Lad is an emotional and thought-provoking song that challenges the traditional portrayal of love in mainstream media. The lyrics express a deep resentment and anger towards love, suggesting that it can be a powerful force that controls people, rather than a comforting emotion that connects them.

I kind of hope this video stays up exactly like this so the kids can see how we suffered in 2006.
@allistergraham6704
For sure, but this version has crazy audio quality, it's sorta bad but hell those bass drops are crunchy af, even with this quality you can still get the gist of the video too 👌
@PhyroMcBruceEsq

I felt the need to leave a comment. One of my best friends, my little brother, a piece of me, introduced me to this song about 10 years ago. Since then, ive become a fan of most of Devins projects. Poke (Ian) died last year of diabetes complications. One of the rare occasions that I cried. Under my sociopathic urges and projections, I lost a bit of me that was real and ill never get it back. Everytime I go home, every nook and corner that we filled will be empty to me. He was one of my favorite human beings. Ill never be able to tell him that I love him again. I will however have this piece of music to remember and cherish our friendship. I miss you dude, you were my family. Where ever the fuck you are, I hope you and Sir Mix Alot are tearing those fatties up. Rest in piece bro and thanks for all of the culture I would have missed, this band included, had you not put them in front of me. RIP Le Finger. You are missed.
