Love
Delerium feat. Zoë Johnston Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can't see my eyes
You can't see my eyes
They don't see yours
Hear me when I say
They don't mind at all

It's the rain that I hear coming
Not a stranger or a ghost
Its the quiet of the storm approaching
That I fear the most
Its the pain that I hear coming
The slightest crystal tear
Drops to the ground in silence
When my love is near
Darling, when did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when
When did you fall?
When was it over?

It's marching through my door now
The stoney cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart
And now my lonesome song begins
It's marching through my door now
The stoney cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart
And now my lonesome song begins
Darling, when did you call?
I couldn't hear you.
Darling, when
When did you cry?
I couldn't hear you.

I suppose it is the price of falling in love
I suppose it is the price of falling in love

Its the rain that I hear coming
Not a stranger or a ghost
But the quiet of the storm approaching
That I fear the most
Its the pain that I hear coming
The slightest crystal tear
Drops to the ground in silence
When my love is near
It's marching through my door now
The stoney cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart
And now my lonesome song will end
Darling, when did we fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when..
When did we fall?
When was it over?

I suppose it is the price of falling in love
I fear it is the price of falling in love
I fear it is the price of falling in love




I fear it is the price of falling in love
I fear it is the price of falling in love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Innocente" by Delerium featuring Leigh Nash of Sixpence None the Richer describe the aftermath of a failed romantic relationship. The singer seems to be speaking to a former lover who can no longer see them or hear their words. The rain serves as a metaphor for the pain and sadness that the singer feels as they mourn the loss of their relationship. Despite the storm approaching and the impending loneliness, the singer still wishes to know when and how their love ended, suggesting they are still in denial and looking for closure. The repetition of "I suppose it is the price of falling in love" is a sobering realization that failed relationships are an inevitable part of the human experience.
