Love
Ben Taylor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well you could be dreamin'
You could easily be lying by yourself sleepin'
Only to wake up hopelessly stranded in love
Oh, you could be movin'
Proud of yourself about the lonely way you keep grovin'
Only to stop uncontrollably frozen in love

[Chorus]
It could fool you at any time on any given day
Been proven to make you blind
It seems like nobody's safe now days
Oh, are you ready for love
Love

Well problems will grieve you
And all sorts of people will try to deceive you
But those types of worries can leave you as quick as they came
But love doesn't leave you
She waits in the back of your mind and believes you
She could deceive you as easy as show you the way





[Chorus: x2]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ben Taylor's song Love touch upon the themes of love, longing, and deceptiveness. The opening lines suggest that the person may be dreaming or lying to themselves about their state of being in love. The lines "Only to wake up hopelessly stranded in love" and "Only to stop uncontrollably frozen in love" imply that the feeling of love can be overwhelming and confusing at times. Love can seize people unexpectedly, leaving them vulnerable and unsure of their circumstances.


In the chorus, the song suggests that love can fool people at any time and make them blind. It states that nobody is safe from love's power, and asks the listener if they are ready for it. This underscores the idea that love is both powerful and unpredictable, and that it can potentially upend anyone's sense of self and understanding.


The second verse talks about the problems and deceit of the world and contrasts them with the constancy and loyalty of love. The lyrics state that although worries can come and go, love stays rooted in the mind and believes in the person whom it loves. It also mentions that love can deceive as easily as it can reveal the way, which again reinforces the idea that love can be tricky and deceptive.


Overall, the song portrays love as a mysterious and powerful force that can both seduce and deceive individuals. It suggests that love can be both tender and cruel, and that people should be ready to face its challenges if they choose to open themselves up to it.

@kaled adam Who knows how long I've loved you?
You know I love you still.
Will I wait a lonely lifetime?
If you want me to I will.

For if I ever saw you, I didn't catch your name.
But it dosn't never really mattered, I will always feel the same.

Chorus:
I'll love you forever and forever,
Love you with all my heart,
I love you whenever we're together,
Love you when we're apart.

Oohh....
And when I finally find you, your song will fill the air;
Sing it loud so I can hear you.
Make it easy to be near you.
For the things you do endear you to me,
Oh, you know I will.
I will.
Oohh....

Chorus:
I love you forever and forever,
Love you with all my heart,
I love you whenever we're together,
Love you when we're apart.

And when I finally find you, your song will fill the air;
Sing it loud so I can hear you.
Make it easy to be near you.
For the things you do endear you to me,
Oh, you know I will.

The Bodyslam Channel

This movie is so underrated. I laugh and cry also. The part when Randy Quaid take his daughter to his grandparents got me in tears everytime.

Carl Rosendorf

Shane Smith

One of the best movies from the 90s. So underrated. Better than anything made today.
