If This Is Love
Aleksander With Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eyes on the floor
She's running out my door, somehow it's always ending
But every day is a sunny day
Keep waiting for some stormy weather
So there she goes, and he steals and he steals from a broken heart
Yeah there she goes, to confess to confess to confess it all

And if. If this is love if this is love

If this is love if this is love
If this is love I'm feeling, I don't feel any better
If this is love if this is love
If this is love if this is love
If this is love I'm feeling, I don't feel any better

You know in this kind of life
There's many things that you can't bet on
All kind of words to say in anger, so we can move on move on
As if I'm scared it's a world it's a world full of wonderfools
And there she goes, with a smile with a smile with a wicked smile

And she knows. If this is love if this is love
If this is love if this is love
If this is love I'm feeling, I don't feel any better
if this is love if this is love

if this is love if this is love
If this is love I'm feeling, I don't feel any better

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Aleksander With's song If This Is Love explore the complex and sometimes painful nature of relationships. The singer seems to be in a cycle of disappointment and heartache, as he watches the woman he loves depart from his life yet again. Despite the sunny days, he's always waiting for the storm to hit, as if he's resigned to bad things happening.

The second verse touches on the difficulty of navigating a life full of unpredictability. The singer acknowledges that there are many things you can't count on in this world, and that often it's anger and hurt that move people forward. He seems to be scared of the unknown, of the "wonderfools" who might hurt him or let him down. Meanwhile, the woman in question departs with a "wicked smile," perhaps indicating that she's not as invested in the relationship as he is.

The chorus repeats the title phrase over and over, a simple yet powerful declaration of the singer's confusion and dissatisfaction with the love he's experiencing. He doesn't feel any better, despite the intensity of his feelings. The repetition of the phrase also emphasizes the cyclical nature of the relationship, as if he's been through this exact scenario before and knows it's likely to happen again.
