Love
Day of Fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

From a shattered home
Looking for an open door
Any way may be the way out
A bleeding telephone
Razorblade cuts on both arms
911 may be the way out

[Chorus:]
Hey yeah!
Anybody hear now?
Anyone at all?
Anybody hear now?
Have you come and gone?

With both heart strings torn
Looking for true love and more
Any day may be the day of
Bruised and battered bones
A broken heart
An open sore
911 may be the way out

[Chorus]

Hear me when I scream!
Where is love?
Overtaking me!
Where is love?
Screaming out of me!
Where is love?





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The song Love by Day of Fire depicts the struggles of a person who is searching for a way out of their shattered home and broken heart. The lyrics describe the emotional turmoil of the singer, who is looking for true love and acceptance. The opening lines, "From a shattered home, looking for an open door, any way may be the way out," express the desperation the person feels to escape the pain and anguish that surrounds them. The use of the bleeding telephone and razorblade cuts on both arms evokes a sense of hopelessness and suicidal ideation, with the person considering a call to emergency services as a last resort.


The chorus of the song inquires if anyone is listening and if anyone has come and gone. This could suggest that the singer is seeking help and reaching out to those around them but feeling ignored or abandoned. The second verse furthers the theme of the search for true love and the struggle with emotional and physical pain. It describes bruised and battered bones, a broken heart, and an open sore, with the person once again considering 911 as a way out.


The final section of the song sees the singer screaming out for love, asking where it is and how it can overtake them. The repetition of the chorus acts as a plea for someone to hear them and respond to their need for help and acceptance. Overall, Love is a raw and emotional portrayal of the pain and struggle that comes with a broken heart and mental anguish.
