Boylife Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i've been loving you violently
it's more than i can swallow
when you leave me
you leave me hollow
it'll all melt away
melt away
like gelato
it's gonna melt away
like gelato
and this hurt
and this one too
it's gonna melt away
like gelato
but i'll never forget
no i'll never forget
hey gelato
i've been loving you violently
The lyrics to Boylife's song "Hey Gelato" speaks about a love that is intense and overwhelming, just like the sensation of tasting a delicious gelato. The opening line "Hey Gelato" serves as an affectionate address to the subject of the song. "I've been loving you violently" follows, which expresses just how powerful this love is. It is not just a casual feeling but rather something that consumes the persona. The next line, "it's more than I can swallow" suggests that this love is challenging to bear in its entirety.
In the lines "when you leave me, you leave me hollow," the artist expresses the pain of separation from this love. The persona compares this emotion to how gelato melts away, suggesting that even though the passionate feelings may fade away with the passage of time, the memories and pain of separation will never be forgotten. The last line of the song repeats the same sentiment. The phrase "I'll never forget" conveys the sense that this love has an enduring impact on the persona's life.
Overall, "Hey Gelato" is a lyrical representation of a love that is both beautiful and painful. The song's composition aptly reflects the message, with its melodic and tranquil arrangements, and lyrics that convey a mix of poignant and gentle expressions.
