We
Diamond Neil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Isn't something you go off to school to learn
It isn't math or ancient history
It's the kind of thing that comes down to simple terms
It's not about you
It's not about me
Love is all about we
Yes, it's all about we
Want to take you to that great unknown
Show you to a place you've never been
Down a road where only lovers go
But before we leave, I want to repeat again
It's not about you
And it's not about me
Love is all about we
All about we
With a string you can tie a knot
But you gotta have somethin' to tie it to
Otherwise all you've got is a knot
When it ties me to you
It's a whole other thing
'Cause love is all about we
Love is all about we
Love is not about young or old
Touches everybody in a special way
It's a blanket when the nights are cold
It can even keep you dry on a rainy day
And it's not about you
It's not about me
Love is all about we
Yes, it's all about we
With a string you can tie a knot
But you got to have something to tie it to
Otherwise all you've got is a knot
When it ties me to you
It's a whole other thing
'Cause love is all about we
Yes, it's all about we
No, it's not about you
It's not about me
Love is all about we
Yes, it's all about we
Say it's all about we
You and me
Say it's all about we
You and me
We ah-we ah-we ah-we ah-we
Love is all about we
In Diamond Neil's song We, the lyrics express the essence of love and its meaning. The first verse establishes that love cannot be taught in school like math or history; it is a chemistry that exists between two people. The chorus states that love is not about either of the individuals, but rather the unit they create, "we". The second verse talks about embarking on a journey to a special place for just two lovers, and reiterating that love is all about "we". The third verse uses a metaphor of a string and a knot to explain the importance of having something to tie the knot to, and in this case, that "something" is the unity of the couple. The song concludes by saying that love doesn't discriminate against age and that it is a comfort in lonely times, and that "we" is what love is all about.
The song has a straightforward message, and it provides a reminder that love is about the connection that two individuals create, rather than just the individuals themselves. The song's melody has a soothing and romantic feel that further emphasizes the message of the lyrics. Additionally, the use of metaphors, such as tying a knot, makes the lyrics easier to understand and remember.
