My Love
Diluvium Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My love, you're the forest in my heart
Where I can not find the way.
My mind stops me when I try to go,
Without you, more and more
I feel so empty...

You're holding me but I'm falling down
While you're looking at me, I close my eyes.

And now my feet are burning on the ground
I'm walking through the sun
To reach the sky
To see the light
You're still in my heart
And now I need to see your face
On my way to survive
Till I see the dawn
Till I see the sign
I am going to the stars.

At the end of time
At the end of cries
At the end of all that we had
There is nothing more but a naked suspended love
Now I try to breathe, now I try to live

Now I try to find somehow
And aim and shelter on this ground...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Diluvium's song My Love express the singer's deep feeling of helplessness and dependence on their lover. The opening line "My love, you're the forest in my heart" compares the lover to a forest, which is often seen as a beautiful, mysterious, and overwhelming entity that is easy to lose oneself in. The singer is lost and unable to find their way when they are not with their love. However, the phrase "My mind stops me when I try to go" suggests that the singer's rational mind is creating obstacles for them to be with their love. This could be due to internal fears, past experiences, or external circumstances that prevent them from being together.

The second stanza emphasizes the struggle between the singer's desire to be with their love and the fear of falling down. The phrase "You're holding me but I'm falling down" portrays the two-sided nature of the relationship - the lover is the source of comfort and stability, but at the same time, the singer is aware that they are vulnerable and unstable. The lines "And now my feet are burning on the ground/I'm walking through the sun" create an image of the singer enduring pain and suffering while striving towards a higher goal. They are determined to reach the sky and find the light, all the while carrying their love in their heart.

The final stanza describes the aftermath of a potential breakup, where the singer is left with nothing but an empty, suspended love. The phrase "At the end of time/At the end of cries/At the end of all that we had" suggests that the relationship has come to a bitter end. However, the singer is still fighting to survive and find the way forward. The lines "Now I try to breathe, now I try to live/Now I try to find somehow" express the singer's determination to overcome their pain and find a new path. They are seeking "shelter on this ground," indicating that they want to build a new life for themselves on a solid foundation.
