Jah Love
Audioweb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What do you want from me
I see the sign
What do you want from me
I said we're living in a reckless world
I said we're living in a reckless world
So
The only, the only, the only one for me is Jah
They say the
Is greener on the other side
Really I don't mind
What do you want from me
[Chorus]
The only one is Jah
I said we're living in a reckless world
Sometimes it's hard for me
To stay on my feet
It's my reality
It's just my reality
There's no favors for me
So what do you want from me
It's only Jah love, so what do you want from me
Tell me, please
The lyrics to Audioweb's Jah Love convey the message of the struggles that come with living in a world that is filled with recklessness and lack of direction. This is made evident with the repetition of the line "I said we're living in a reckless world," which highlights the frustration the singer feels. The singer also sees a sign but wonders what is expected of him/ her in such an environment. The chorus "The only, the only, the only one for me is Jah" is a declaration of faith in God's love, a message reinforced by the line "It's only Jah love, so what do you want from me."
The lines "Sometimes it's hard for me to stay on my feet, it's my reality, there's no favors for me" further emphasize the struggles faced by the singer. The use of the metaphor "the grass is greener on the other side" and the response of "Really I don't mind" implies that the singer is content with their current reality and is not apprehensive about the things they don't have. The song's conclusion, "Tell me, please," further reinforces the plea made throughout the song for guidance from a higher power.
