A Love of Some Kind
AdriAnne Lenker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe once or twice before
Either way, I need you
Will you stay?
Nothing much in our way, and the sky is always bending
And I hate pretending like I′m doing fine
Would you mind?
I could use a love of some kind
I've read the books, I've tried it all, I′ve lived behind a curtain
And maybe life is protocol, but I still feel uncertain
Every day, I get lost in the grey where the light is ever-white
And it finds me trying to find my will
And be still
And let go of my heart to fill
And now we′re strangers, so it's okay, you don′t have to say it
Stranger's better, anyway, and I think that we can make it
I don′t have much, but what I've got is something I can give
And I′ve found that on your own is no good way to live
So what d'you say?
Nothing much in our way, and the world is always turning
And the light is yearning
It'll be just fine
Would you mind?
I could use a heart, I could use a home
I could use a love of some kind
The lyrics of AdriAnne Lenker's song "A Love of Some Kind" convey a sense of longing and uncertainty, as the singer yearns for love and connection. The song begins with the singer expressing familiarity towards the person they are addressing, hinting that they may have crossed paths before. However, whether or not they have met, the singer confesses their need for this person's presence in their life. The sky is described as "always bending," suggesting that there are countless possibilities for their relationship to unfold.
Continuing, the singer admits to trying various approaches in life, even living behind a metaphorical curtain, yet they still feel uncertain. They find themselves getting lost in the monotonous grayness of life, where light is consistently white. In this search for clarity and stillness, the singer yearns to let go of their heart and allow it to be filled.
The song then takes a turn, acknowledging that the two individuals have become strangers, but the singer finds solace in this anonymity. They believe that being strangers is better, implying that they can start anew and build a stronger connection. The singer realizes that they may not have much to offer materially, but what they do have is something they are willing to give. They have discovered that living alone is not a fulfilling way to exist.
In the final chorus, the singer proposes the idea of embracing this love. With nothing much in their way and the world continuously evolving, the singer believes it will all be okay. They express their longing for a heart, a home, and a love of some kind as a plea for connection and fulfillment.
