I Want Your Love
Dead Ghosts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want something to hold
Darling give me your hand
If I don't walk away
Will you tell me your plan

Because I am a man
Well I don't always understand
I want your love

If you treat me this way
Darling I can't reside
Because I'm not a slave
It's just like doing time

Because I am a man
Well I don't always understand





I want your love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "I Want Your Love" by Dead Ghosts revolve around the desire for love and the struggle to understand it. The opening lines, "I want something to hold, Darling give me your hand," are a plea for physical intimacy and emotional connection. The singer seems uncertain about the relationship and asks, "If I don't walk away, will you tell me your plan?" This suggests not only a level of insecurity but a sense of frustration and confusion about the future of the relationship.


The chorus repeats the line "I want your love," but it is not a simple declaration of affection. Instead, it carries a sense of urgency and desperation. The second verse suggests that the singer is unwilling to tolerate mistreatment and is not interested in being "a slave." There is a sense of detachment in the lyrics, as if the singer is emotionally distant but yearning for connection.


The repeating line "Because I am a man, Well I don't always understand" adds an interesting layer to the song. It suggests that the singer recognizes the difficulties and limitations of his own gender in expressing emotions and understanding relationships. Overall, the song is a lamentation of the complexities of love and relationships.

Au-delà des faux semblants, DG dénoncerait-il l’ordre apparent et les paradoxes d'un monde insensible. Spirituels, sensoriels et rebelles, ces poètes dévoileraient-ils les impostures secrètes, explorant des jouissances sereines, un monde de rêves resurgissants🌺🕊️
