Love Will Tear Us Apart
Bellestar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed, our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again
Do you cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed?
Get a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Is it something so good just can't function no more?
But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Bellestar's cover of Joy Division's famous song "Love Will Tear Us Apart" offers an interpretation that captures the melancholic yet passionate essence of the original. At the core of the song's lyrics is the idea that love, despite its beauty and power, can also be destructive and painful. The first verse speaks to the feeling of being stuck in a monotonous routine and the lack of motivation to pursue one's ambitions, leading to a sense of resentment building up. Even though the two are changing and taking different paths, they keep coming back to each other, unable to resist the allure of love. The chorus emphasizes the idea that love is a force that tears people apart, again and again.
