Made In China
Antonio Paul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're with me and I'm with you
My heart's on fire, on fire
For you
Don't make a sound
The water is so calm
And Made in China is what we're not
And I love you, a moment not lost
And this guitar is singing my song for you
For you
And you're with me and I'm with you
My heart's on fire, on fire
For you
Don't make a sound
The water is so calm
And Made in China is what we're not
And I love you, a moment not lost
And this guitar is singing my song for you




For you
And for you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Antonio Paul's song "Made in China" speak of a moment of intense connection between two individuals. The first line of the chorus "You're with me and I'm with you" sets up the scene of two people being in love and sharing an intimate moment together. This is reiterated again when he sings "My heart's on fire, on fire for you". The use of the phrase "on fire" adds a sense of passion and intensity to the emotion being described.


The second half of the chorus is particularly interesting as the lyrics take a surprising turn. Antonio sings "Don't make a sound, the water is so calm" which creates an atmosphere of tranquility and serenity. He then sings "And Made in China is what we're not", which could be interpreted in different ways. It could be a reference to the idea of a cheap, easily replaceable object that is made in China, as opposed to the connection that he shares with the other person which is unique and irreplaceable. Alternatively, it could be a nod to the idea of being mass-produced or "cookie-cutter", as opposed to being an individual and unique person with their own inherent value.


The final lines of the chorus "And I love you, a moment not lost/And this guitar is singing my song for you" bring the focus back to the intense emotion being felt. The idea of a moment not being lost emphasizes the fleeting nature of time and the importance of living in the present, while the guitar being used as a way of expressing love is a common motif in music.


Overall, the lyrics to this song are intense and emotional, speaking to the deep connections we can form with others.
