Love Is A Shield
Camouflage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love is a shield,
to hide behind,
love is a field
to grow inside,
and when I sometimes close my eyes
my mind starts spinning round.
Love is a baby
in a mother's arms,
love is your breath
which makes me warm,
and when I sometimes close my eyes,
my mind starts spinning round.
There is a feeling
that flows through me,
when you are near
you make it real
and we could live for this ideal.
And all the pictures we run through,
seem to be perfect,
seem to be true.
But nothing is quite forever,
especially staying together.
I don't care now
what comes along,
what counts is us,
no matter what will be,
just this naivety.
The changing words we're taking in,
seem to be perfect,
seem to win.




But nothing is quite forever,
especially staying together.

Overall Meaning

The song "Love is a Shield" by Camouflage is an ode to the power of love as a force that can shield and protect. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of love as a refuge from the chaos and tumult of life. It is said that love is a shield to hide behind, a field to grow inside, and a baby in a mother's arms. The image of a shield suggests that love can protect and defend us against the hardships of life, and the image of a field suggests that love can nourish and sustain us. The reference to a baby in a mother's arms suggests that love can provide comfort and security.


The chorus of the song hints at the transformative power of love, saying that when the singer is near his loved one, he feels a feeling that flows through him, making everything seem perfect and true. However, the verses caution that nothing is forever, especially staying together. Despite this, the singer doesn't care what comes along, as long as he and his loved one are together. The lyrics are a reminder that love is not without its challenges, but it is a powerful force that can sustain us through the ups and downs of life.

Love is a shield,
To hide behind,
Love is a field
To grow inside,
And when I sometimes close my eyes
My mind starts spinning round.
Love is a baby
In a mother's arms,
Love is your breath
Which makes me warm,
And when I sometimes close my eyes,
My mind starts spinning round.
There is a feeling
That flows through me,
When you are near
You make it real
And we could live for this ideal.
And all the pictures we run through,
Seem to be perfect,
Seem to be true.
But nothing is quite forever,
Especially staying together.
I don't care now
What comes along,
What counts is us,
No matter what will be,
Just this naivety.
The changing words we're taking in,
Seem to be perfect,
Seem to win.
But nothing is quite forever,
Especially staying together
