It Must Be Love
Countdown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely, there's air of silence
in the bedroom and all around.
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away.
It must have been love but it's over now.
It must have been love but it's over now.
From the moment we touched 'til the time had run out.
Make-believing we're together,
that I'm sheltered by your heart.
But in and outside I've turned to water
like a teardrop in your palm.
And it's a hard winter's day, I dream away.
It must have been love but it's over now,
it was all that I wanted, now I'm living without.
It must have been love but it's over now,
it's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows
it's where the wind blows
It must have been love but it's over now,
it was all that I wanted, now I'm living without.
It must have been love but it's over now,
it's where the water flows...
In the song "It Must Have Been Love" by Countdown, the lyrics paint a poignant picture of a past love that has now come to an end. The opening lines, "Lay a whisper on my pillow, leave the winter on the ground," create a sense of intimacy and the passage of time. The singer wakes up feeling lonely, surrounded by silence, hinting at the emptiness and void left by the absence of their former lover.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that what they once shared was indeed love, but it has now ended. There's a bittersweet acknowledgment that it was good while it lasted, but somehow it slipped away. The singer reminisces about the moments when they were together, from the initial spark of their connection to the inevitable conclusion where time ran out on their relationship.
The lyrics also touch on the element of fantasy and make-believe that can accompany lost love. The singer longs to believe they are still together, finding solace in the imagined shelter of their partner's heart. However, the harsh reality is that both internally and externally, they have dissolved like tears in a loved one's hand, underscoring the fragility and transience of emotions.
The reference to a "hard winter's day" symbolizes the emotional coldness and desolation the singer feels in the absence of their love. Despite dreaming away and trying to escape into reverie, the stark truth remains that the love they once shared is now gone. The song's refrain echoes the pain of moving on without the love that once defined their existence, highlighting the inevitability of letting go and allowing the currents of life to carry them forward, much like water flowing and winds blowing in unseen directions.
