Camper Van Beethoven Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She comes into my mind
Twisting through my nerve
I don't understand
A word she says
She's on my side
I love her all the time
I love her all the time




Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song ‘I Love Her All the Time’ by Camper Van Beethoven paint an image of a woman who is invasive but irresistible. The woman is characterized as being present in the singer's mind and constantly creeping their nerves. However, despite being unable to comprehend her words, the singer asserts that he is on her side, and further declares his undying love for her through repeated lyrics of "I love her all the time". The choice of words, ‘twisting through my nerve’, seems to suggest that the woman's hold over the singer is intense and dizzying, as if it's almost like a drug-induced trance.


The song could be interpreted in many ways, especially when one considers the chorus’s repeated declaration of love. It could be a testament to a new love that is consuming, impossible to comprehend and explains the singer's intense emotions. The song could also be interpreted from the perspective of addiction or obsession, where the woman is a metaphor for something that the singer can't let go of, despite it causing him pain. However, the love that the singer professes could be taken literally, where he really does love this woman, even if she is hard to understand or causes him grief. Overall, the song is a compelling piece of work, due to its ambiguous nature and the singer's ability to intensely convey his emotions.

I love her all the time
My love for her knows no bounds and endures forever
