Book of Love
DJ ReMix Factory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts, some figures and instructions for dancing
But I,
I love it when you read to me.
And you,
You can read me anything.
The book of love has music in it,
In fact that's where music comes from.
Some of it is just transcendental,
Some of it is just really dumb.
But I,
I love it when you sing to me.
And you,
You can sing me anything.
The book of love is long and boring,
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes,
And things we're all too young to know.
But I,
I love it when you give me things.
And you,
You ought to give me wedding rings.
And I,
I love it when you give me things.
And you,
You ought to give me wedding rings.
You ought to give me wedding rings.
The lyrics to DJ ReMix Factory's song "Book of Love" describe the eponymous book as being lengthy and tedious, full of charts and figures, and useless information about dancing steps. Despite this, the singer finds an affinity in listening to someone read from the book, and appreciates hearing anything they have to say. The book itself apparently contains both good and bad music, with some being transcendental and some being "really dumb", yet again the singer finds pleasure in hearing someone sing from the book, regardless of the quality of the music.
Towards the end of the song, the book is described as having elements such as flowers and heart-shaped boxes, suggesting the book could be a metaphor for love itself. The singer expresses happiness in receiving gifts from their partner, and even goes so far as to request wedding rings. The tone of the song suggests that while love may be tedious and full of useless information, the excitement that comes with being in love makes it all worthwhile.
