Loving You
Cyrille Aimee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's who I am
Loving you is not a choice
Not much reason to rejoice
But it gives me purpose
Gives me voice
To say to the world
This is why I live
Loving you is why I do the things I do
Loving you is not in my control
But loving you I have a goal
For what's left of my life
I will live
And I would die
For you
Loving you is why I do the things I do
Loving you is not in my control
But loving you I have a goal
For what's left of my life
I will live
And I would die
I will live
And I would die
For you
In this song, Cyrille Aimee expresses the intensity and depth of her love by emphasizing that it is not just a choice, but rather an integral part of her being. The lines "Loving you is not a choice, It's who I am" illustrate that this love is not something that can be turned on or off at will, but rather something that is embedded within her core.
Further on, the lyrics reveal that loving this person may not necessarily lead to the most joyous experiences, as the line "Not much reason to rejoice" implies. However, despite this, the love she feels gives her purpose and a voice to express her feelings to the world. The lines "Gives me purpose, gives me voice, To say to the world This is why I live, You are why I live" signify that this love is the driving force behind her existence and fuels her to continue living.
The repetition of the lines "Loving you is why I do the things I do" and "But loving you I have a goal" emphasize the idea that everything she does is driven by this love, and that her goal is simply to keep loving this person for the rest of her life. The final two lines, "I will live, And I would die, For you" not only emphasize the depth of her devotion and commitment to this person but also illustrate that this love is all-encompassing and transcends everything else.
