I'm Not in Love
[unknown] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have been frozen in time, yeah
Roses on your mind
Will call you home
Prayers unspoken left no hearts unbroken
I've been turning on a dime, yeah
Roses on your mind
Said we're not in love we just hang out high as kites
Said we're not in love we're just halfway out of our mind
And we hang out high as kites
We're not in love we're just high
We're just high
Second verses are the worst of curses
How can we define the line yeah
Roses on your mind
Will call you home
Said we're not in love we just hang out high as kites
Said we're not in love we're just halfway out of our mind
And we hang out high as kites
Said we're not in love we're just high
We're just high
We're just high
We're just high
We're not in love
We're not in love
We're not in love
We're not in love we just hang out high as kites
We're not in love we're just halfway out of our mind
And we hang out high as kites
We're not in love we're just high
We're just high
The lyrics of [unknown]'s song "I'm Not in Love" express the confusion and uncertainty of a relationship that is not clearly defined. The singer describes how past experiences have left them brokenhearted and frozen in time, while also acknowledging the presence of something more, symbolized by "roses on your mind". The lyrics suggest that the relationship is not based on love but rather on a shared feeling of being "high as kites", which could refer to drugs or simply a sense of euphoria.
The second verse delves deeper into the confusion and frustration of the situation, with the lyrics "second verses are the worst of curses, how can we define the line". This suggests that the singer is struggling to understand where the relationship stands and how to move forward. Despite this uncertainty, the repeated refrain of "we're not in love" could be interpreted as a denial of deeper feelings or an attempt to maintain some emotional distance.

When this came out in the summer of 1975 people listened to their radios without headphones and I remember being at the beach and there were a hundred little radios all over the beach tuned to the same radio station, playing this song, so as you walked along you could hear it just slightly, all the while you walked, like one long continuous play on all those tiny radios. It was magical.

Oh wow, one of those moments, so beautifully remebered. All of a sudden I feel those were actually the real good times.The past, oh the past hurts in its beauty.
@adrock2316
Great story...but have you ever listened to this song on headphones? The stereo separation makes it even more impactful.

My husband and I met in the summer of 1975 . This song reminds me of that beautiful summer and brings a tear to my eye .We’ve been married for 45 years and I feel blessed.
