What's Love All About
De/Vision Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chew me up
And spit me out
I knew you would I had no doubt
I'll find a mask
That's what I'll do
I can be just like you
Your every wish
Will be done
I'll be the trigger of your gun
I'll make 'em bleed
I'll make 'em pay
I'll make them go away

Show me what love is all about
What love is all about
If I can do without
I wanna find out
Show me what love is all about
Breathe me in and breathe me out
What is love all about?
I wanna find out

Tie me up
I won't make a stand
Suffer corporal punishment
Every pain I'm going through
Brings me back to you

Show me what love is all about
What love is all about
If I can do without
I wanna find out
Show me what love is all about
Breathe me in and breathe me out
What is love all about?
I wanna find out

Show me what love is all about
What love is all about
If I can do without
I wanna find out
Show me what love is all about
Breathe me in and breathe me out




What is love all about?
I wanna find out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of What's Love All About by De/Vision depict a person who is willing to undergo any sort of pain, manipulation or abuse just to understand what love really means. The first verse talks about how this person is willing to surrender themselves wholeheartedly to the person they love even if they know they are going to be hurt. They will wear a mask just to please them and will be the trigger of their gun, which means that they will do anything to make the person they love happy, no matter how wrong or dangerous it may seem. The chorus shows the singer's desperate plea to understand what love is really about, and their willingness to do anything to achieve that understanding. In the second verse, the singer goes further, admitting that they are willing to suffer punishment just to get closer to the person they love. Each pain they go through just brings them closer to that elusive understanding of love.


The song portrays a very destructive view of love, where the person believes that love is about submission, pain, and sacrifice. It speaks of a person who is not self-assertive and puts all their happiness and well-being at stake for the sake of the person they love. They believe that love can only come through pain and that they must suffer to understand the true meaning of it. However, it is important to note that this is just one view of love and should not be taken as a universal truth.
