Overall Meaning

The song Sea of Love by Cat Power is a romantic ballad that expresses the depth of one's love for their significant other. The song's opening line, "Come with me, my love, to the sea, the sea of love," hints at a journey of the couple's connection to one another - that they are physically and emotionally going deeper into their love. The desire to express one's affection for their lover is a common theme in love songs, but Cat Power's breezy, unaffected delivery of these simple lyrics stand out in their sincerity.


The second verse recalls the moment when they first met and the realization of their love blossomed. “Do you remember when we met? That's the day I knew you were my pet," captures the initial chemistry between the couple and the start of a journey that has brought them closer to each other. The use of the word 'pet' could suggest a pet-name used between them, suggesting a level of intimacy that is private and unique to them. The song's final line, "I wanna tell you how much I love you," highlights the need to express one's feelings, to let go of the inhibitions and share one's love openly. The 'Sea of Love' may be interpreted as a vast body of emotions, allowing them the space to dive deeper into their bond of love.
