Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've seen no way out since I was a boy
Hold on to something that I know is near
Feeling much closer to holding my tears
Banter that shoots me through cannons and spillways
Forests and nights as I walk through these hallways
Kaleidoscopes eyes of killers come near
I need your love
Visions of you or pictures in tabloids
I've seen no way out since I was a boy
Hold on to something that I know is near
Missing the point as I fall through these years
I need your love
All I want, All I need
The song "I Need Your Love" by Erlend Oye is a contemplative and introspective song that speaks to the artist's feelings of desperation and longing for the love of another person. In the verses, the artist talks about seeing "visions of you" or "pictures in tabloids" which suggest that he is constantly thinking about this person, but he has "seen no way out" of his feelings since he was a boy. This line in particular indicates that these feelings have been present for a significant portion of his life, making them all the more potent and difficult to escape from.
The second verse then makes references to various things that are running through the artist's mind, including "forests and nights" and "kaleidoscopes eyes of killers." These cryptic images suggest that he is wrestling with some form of emotional or mental turmoil, possibly even paranoia or anxiety. However, he notes that he is "feeling less desperate to hold in my fear" which implies that although things may still be difficult, he is at least gaining some perspective or finding a way to cope.
Finally, the chorus brings everything back to the central theme that the artist needs the love of the person he is thinking about. He repeats the phrase "I need your love" several times, emphasizing the urgency and importance of this need. It is clear that the artist is struggling with some deep-seated emotions that are all-consuming, but he still holds out hope that he can find the love and connection that he desires.

Visions of you or pictures in tabloids
I constantly imagine or see images of you in the media
I've seen no way out since I was a boy
I have always felt trapped and helpless since childhood
Hold on to something that I know is near

Feeling much closer to holding my tears
I am trying not to cry, but it's becoming harder
Banter that shoots me through cannons and spillways
I am bombarded by harsh and negative comments
Forests and nights as I walk through these hallways
I feel lost and confused like I am wandering through a dark forest
Kaleidoscopes eyes of killers come near
I am fearful of people who are dangerous and unpredictable
Feeling less desperate to hold in my fear
I am becoming less anxious and scared
I need your love
I require your affection and support

All I want, All I need
You are all I desire and need in my life
