Supreme
Alban Bartoli Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh it seemed forever stopped today
All the lonely hearts in London
Caught a plane and flew away
And all the best women are married
All the handsome men are gay
You feel deprived
Yeah are you questioning your size?
Is there a tumour in your humour,
Are there bags under your eyes?
Do you leave dents where you sit,
Are you getting on a bit?
Will you survive
You must survive
When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme
Oh what are you really looking for?
Another partner in your life to
abuse and to adore?
Is it lovey dovey stuff,
Do you need a bit of rough?
Get on your knees
Yeah turn down the love songs that you hear
'Cause you can't avoid the sentiment
That echoes in your ear
Saying love will stop the pain
Saying love will kill the fear
Do you believe
You must believe
When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme
I spy with my little eye
Something beginning with (ah)
Got my back up
And now she's screaming
So I've got to turn the track up
Sit back and watch the royalties stack up
I know this girl she likes to switch teams
And I'm a fiend but I'm living for a love supreme
When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme
Come and live a love supreme
Don't let it get you down
Everybody lives for love
Come and live a love supreme




Don't let it get you down
Everybody lives for love

Overall Meaning

Alban Bartoli's song "Supreme" is a song about the difficulties of finding love in the modern world. The lyrics describe a sense of loneliness and frustration that many people experience when looking for love. The first verse sets the stage with the image of "lonely hearts" in London catching a plane and flying away, leaving the singer feeling even more alone. The chorus repeats the phrase "When there's no love in town" and emphasizes the sense of disappointment and disillusionment that comes with searching for love in the 21st century.


The second verse addresses the idea of what people are really looking for in a partner, and whether they are seeking love or just someone to "abuse and adore." The lyrics suggest that there is a lot of confusion and mixed messages around the idea of love, and many people are unsure what they really want.


The final verse introduces a new character who is causing some drama, but the singer is able to turn up the music and "live for a love supreme." The song ends with a message of hope, encouraging listeners not to let the difficulties of finding love get them down, and reminding them that "everybody lives for love."
