Thicker Than Water
Andy Gibb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love is thicker than water
You are this dreamers only dream
Heaven's angel, devil's daughter
Say, my mind, should I go with her on silent nights
She'll drive me crazy in the end
And I should leave this paradise
while I need her more than she needs you
That's what I'm living for
Love is, higher than a mountain
Love is, thicker than water
You are this dreamers only dream
Heaven's angel, devil's daughter
Say my thought, should I find out she don't care at all
She'll leave me crying in the end
Wandering through the afterglow
But I can't leave her
While I need her more than she needs you
That's what I'm praying for
Love is, higher than a mountain
Love is, thicker than water
You are this dreamers only dream
Heaven's angel, devil's daughter
Love is, higher than a mountain
Love is, thicker than water
You are this dreamers only dream
Heaven's angel, devil's daughter

The lyrics of Thicker Than Water by Andy Gibb talks about the power of love, describing it as something higher than a mountain and thicker than water. The singer sees himself as someone who is deeply in love with a woman who is like an angel from heaven but also, he sees her as the devil's daughter. The singer's mind is in two places; he is confused about whether he should go with her or leave her alone. He knows she could drive him crazy, but he finds it difficult to let go of her because he needs her more than she needs him. The singer is willing to put up with the craziness, confusion, and heartaches that come with being in love because, to him, she is his only dream.
In the second verse, the singer's thought is that what if she does not care about him at all and leaves him crying in the end. He fears that he might wander through the afterglow and be left alone, but he still cannot leave her because he needs her more than she needs him. Love is higher than a mountain, and nothing else can compare to it because it is thicker than water, making it a powerful force that draws people together. The singer ends the song by repeating the chorus, emphasizing that love is powerful enough to connect two people, even if one is an angel from heaven and the other a devil's daughter.
