In early 2000, both Roberson and Luckett were replaced with Williams and Farrah Franklin; however, Franklin quit after five months, leaving the group as a trio. Their third album, Survivor (2001), whose themes the public interpreted as a channel to the group's experience, produced the worldwide hits "Independent Women", "Survivor" and "Bootylicious. In 2001, they announced a hiatus to pursue solo careers. The trio reunited three years later for the release of their fifth and final studio album, Destiny Fulfilled (2004), which spawned the international hits "Lose My Breath" and "Soldier (feat. T.I. & Lil' Wayne)". Since the group's official disbandment in 2006, Knowles, Rowland and Williams have reunited several times, including at the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show and 2018 Coachella festival.
Destiny's Child has sold more than sixty million records worldwide to date. Billboard ranks the group as one of the greatest musical trios of all time, the ninth most successful artist/band of the 2000s, placed the group 68th in its All-Time Hot 100 Artists list in 2008 and in December 2016, the magazine ranked them as the 90th most successful dance club artist of all time. The group was nominated for 14 Grammy Awards, winning twice for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and once for Best R&B Song.
Through With Love
Destiny's Child Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gave up my friends like you said I should do
Put aside my smile for you
And throw out my dreams if you said you didn't approve
I gave my mind, compromised my life
Just to see I'd find
You were trying to hold me back
Slowly throwing me off of my track
I'm through with love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm finally giving it up
I've given so much in the past (past)
For a love I never had (had)
I'm through with it
I'm, I'm through with it, love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm finally givin' it up
Oh, there you go, comparing me
To every little model on the TV screen
Oh, there you go, complaining to me
'Cause I want to spend time with my family
My esteem has gone down
You'd never want to take me out
You make me feel lost and alone
I don't know where to go
I'm through with it
I'm through with it, love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm finally giving it up
I've given so much in the past (past)
For a love I never had (had)
I'm through with it
I'm, I'm through with it, love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm finally givin' it up
I shared all my secrets with you (you)
Even when it hurt to tell the truth
I paralyzed my growth for you (you)
I gave you control, felt so helpless without you
Couldn't be a friend (a friend) to anyone happy (happy)
'Cause with you I see (I see) misery loves company
Don't know if this is love
'Cause if it's love, I don't want it anymore
I'm through with it
I'm through with it, love (so tired of crying)
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love (oh)
I'm through with it (I'm so tired of your lying)
Through with it, love
I'm finally giving it up
I've given so much in the past (past)
For a love I never had (had)
I'm through with it
I'm, I'm through with it, love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm finally givin' it up
Why do I feel so empty?
I'm crying out for some stability
Destroy my many insecurities (yeah)
I'm breaking down, somebody pray for me
He doesn't like no other, not an ordinary love
Restore my joy, restore my courage
Lord, I need your love
I found a new love
I found a new, found a new love
I finally found it in God
I found a new love
I found a new, found a new love (I don't have to hurt no more)
I found a new, found a new love (I don't have to weep no more)
I found a new, found a new love (my heart don't have to hurt no more)
I finally found it in God
I've given so much in the past (past)
For a love I've always had (had)
I found a new
I, I found a new love
I found a new, found a new love
I finally found it in God
The lyrics to Through With Love by Destiny's Child explore a tumultuous romantic relationship that has left the singer feeling depleted and unfulfilled. The song starts by listing all the sacrifices made for the sake of love, including giving up friends, compromising her life and dreams, and changing her mind, only to realize that her partner was slowly holding her back and throwing her off course. As this realization sets in, the singer declares that she is finally through with love and is giving it up.
The second verse delves deeper into the issues in their relationship. The antagonist is portrayed as petty and controlling, comparing the singer to models on TV and complaining when she wants to spend time with her family. The singer feels lost and alone, unable to be a true friend to anyone happy because of her misery. She is still uncertain if the relationship is love at all and decides that she no longer wants it.
The final verse introduces a glimmer of hope. The singer admits that she feels empty and needs stability, asking for someone to pray for her. She then finds that stability and love in God, declaring that she has finally found a new love that doesn't hurt her heart. Through With Love is a powerful and emotional piece about self-worth and the realization that true love doesn't have to hurt.
