We're In Love
Badflower Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not what they call she
I am more like you
Ooh...
Dismay, when I found out
What you mean to me
There's nothing to fear
I am if you say so
We're in love, we're in love
We're in love, we're in love
We're in love, we're in love
We're in love, we're in love
We were in love
Lights out!
Enraged, when you showed me
That truth you kept concealed
From me
Mmm, I'm intrigued...
I know who you are
And I don't care at all
So turn out the lights, oh, oh
We're in love, we're in love
We're in love, we're in love
We're in love, we're in love
We're in love, we're in love
We were in love
The lights out, so fucking emasculate me!
I know what I want, so let them isolate me
We're in love, we're in love
We're in love, we're in love
We're in love, we're in love
We're in love, we're in love
We were in love
I know what I am, woman or man
We were in...
Lights out!
With lights out
Love is love is love
With lights out
Love is love is love
With lights out
Love is love is love
We're in love, we're in love
We're in love, we're in love
We were in love
The lights out, so fucking emasculate me!
We're in love, we're in love
We're in love
We were in love
The lights out, so fuck away the fake me
I know what I want
We're in love, we're in love
We're in love
We were in love
We were in love
In love, in luh-uh-uh-uh-uh
The lyrics to Badflower's song We're in Love explore the challenges and struggles of coming to terms with one's own identity and being accepted by society. The song's protagonist expresses feelings of dismay and rage upon realizing that they don't fit into the conventional binary conception of gender identity. They feel emasculated and isolated, but ultimately come to accept and embrace themselves as they truly are. The repetition of "we're in love" throughout the song suggests that love can transcend societal norms and expectations, and that love is love, regardless of one's gender identity.
The line "I know who you are and I don't care at all" indicates that the singer has accepted and embraced their partner's identity, even if it doesn't conform to traditional societal expectations. The aim of the song is to promote understanding, tolerance, and acceptance of people who don't fit into traditional gender binaries.
Overall, the song is a powerful anthem of resilience and self-acceptance, and it bears an important message of equality and inclusivity.

My mind, when you told me
I was thinking about our conversation when you told me something about myself
I'm not what they call she
I don't fit traditional gender norms
I am more like you
I feel a strong connection with you and your own unique identity
Dismay, when I found out
I felt disappointment when I learned the truth about something you kept hidden from me
What you mean to me
Your importance to me is significant and meaningful
There's nothing to fear
We should not be afraid of our non-traditional love and attraction
It's perfectly queer
Our love is uniquely ours and not bound by societal norms
I am if you say so
My identity is defined by the love and acceptance we share
We're in love, we're in love
Our love is real and strong
We were in love
We used to be in love but something may have changed
Lights out!
Let's turn off the lights and be intimate
Enraged, when you showed me
I was angry when you revealed something to me
That truth you kept concealed from me
You hid something from me that was important
Mmm, I'm intrigued...
I'm curious about you and our relationship
I know who you are
I understand and accept your unique identity
And I don't care at all
Your identity doesn't make a difference to me, our love is what matters
so turn out the lights, oh, oh
Let's be intimate again and connect emotionally
so fucking emasculate me!
Let's break down society's expectations and just be ourselves
I know what I want
I'm confident in my feelings for you and the intimacy we share
so fuck away the fake me
Let's be real with each other and ignore societal expectations
Love is love is love
Love is universal and not bound by societal norms or gender expectations
We were in love
We used to be in love but something may have changed
In love, in luh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Our love is unique and special, just like us

on The Jester
This song is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. The intro and outro, the way you can tell his voice feels it, the beautiful lyrics, the instruments... Everything molds together perfectly. I love every single thing about it.
