True Love
Ava Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(What are you waiting for?)
(She's scared...She's a star...Across the nightime sky)

Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh.

The snow, has come down, on top of everything,
The town, was alive and well without you. (She's scared)
The lights, they peer out, of the leafless trees,
And you won't, be alone, I am beside you.

Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh.

(True love)
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
The light is the sign that love will guide you home.
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
If the world were to die, the light would guide you.

Tears, spilling out, across a dead end street,
Your house, is a lonely box that holds you.
The star, bright and loud, is in dire need,
Of the fear, that is an empty fear inside you.

Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh.

(True love)
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
The light is the sign that love will guide you home.
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
If the world were to die, the light would guide you.

The stars in the sky illuminate below,
The light is the sign that love will guide you home.
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
If the world were to die, the light would guide you.

True love,
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
The light is the sign that love will guide you home.
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
If the world were to die, the light would guide you.

The stars in the sky illuminate below,
The light is the sign that love will guide you home.
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
If the world were to die, the light would guide you.

(True love)
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
The light is the sign that love will guide you home. (True love)
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
If the world were to die, the light would guide you.

(True love)
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
The light is the sign that love will guide you home. (True love)
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
If the world were to die, the light would guide you.





(She's a star)

Overall Meaning

The song "True Love" by Ava is a beautiful and poetic ode to the power of love. The lyrics paint a heartfelt picture of a person who is lost and scared, wandering the streets alone under a canopy of stars. The opening lines, "What are you waiting for? She's scared...She's a star...Across the nighttime sky" set up the central themes of the song - the need for comfort, the fear of loneliness, and the redemptive power of true love.


The next verse speaks of the snow that has fallen on everything, and the way the town seems to go on without the person who is lost. The image of the "leafless trees" with lights peering out is haunting and evocative, like a beautiful, sad dream. The chorus of the song is a repeated prayer for the stars to guide the lost person home, and for love to be the light that illuminates their journey.


As the song progresses, the lyrics become more layered and complex, with the imagery of tears spilling out onto a dead end street, and a house that is like a "lonely box that holds" the lost person. The final lines of the song are a triumphant celebration of the power of love to conquer even the darkest fears and illuminate the way forward.


Line by Line Meaning

The snow, has come down, on top of everything,
The snow has fallen, covering everything in sight


The town, was alive and well without you.
The town continued to thrive in your absence


The lights, they peer out, of the leafless trees,
The lights peek out from the bare trees


And you won't, be alone, I am beside you.
You won't be alone, I am here with you


The stars in the sky illuminate below,
The stars in the sky shine on the earth below


The light is the sign that love will guide you home.
The light represents the guiding power of love to bring you home


If the world were to die, the light would guide you.
Even if the world were to end, love would still guide you


Tears, spilling out, across a dead end street,
Tears falling down on a street with no escape


Your house, is a lonely box that holds you.
Your house is a lonely place where you are trapped


The star, bright and loud, is in dire need,
The star, shining and noticeable, is desperately seeking help


Of the fear, that is an empty fear inside you.
The star needs the fear that exists within you, even if it's empty


(She's scared)
She is afraid


(She's a star)
She is shining brightly, visible to all


(What are you waiting for?)
Why are you hesitating?


True love
Genuine, authentic love

Atom Willard was the cornerstone of every song on this album. His drumming was sublime.

@jakubfranek9995

Kudos to you for mentioning that. It would be 99% but he makes the 1% to perfection.

@bluewhye8832

I wonder what Travis would've done on this album.
