Losing My Religion
Danni Carlos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh
As the bright blue sky

Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stay there too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love o' mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain

I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain

Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love o' mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now




Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Danni Carlos's song "Losing My Religion" evoke a strong sense of nostalgia and longing for a time when everything was innocent and carefree. The opening lines describe a woman who has a smile that reminds the singer of childhood memories, when everything was fresh and the sky was bright blue. The woman's smile is so powerful that it can transport the singer back to that special place, but staying there too long would cause him to break down and cry. The repetition of the phrase "sweet child o' mine" throughout the song underscores the idea that the woman represents a time when life was simpler and more joyful.


The second verse further highlights the woman's beauty and the singer's reluctance to see any pain in her eyes. Her blue eyes are compared to the sky, but the singer hates to see even a hint of sadness or hurt in them. The woman's hair is also emphasized, as it reminds the singer of a warm, safe place where he could hide during thunderstorms. Together, these images create a portrait of a woman who is beautiful, kind, and comforting - but also elusive and elusive to hold onto.


Overall, the lyrics to "Losing My Religion" suggest a deep longing for a time when life was easier and more innocent. The woman in the song represents that time and place, but also the inherent sadness and loss that comes with trying to hold onto something that can never be recaptured.
