My Love Is Real
Divine Fits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could not get through
So where is the chain that will keep us together
This much is true
My love is real
Until it stops
Don't you wanna go down
In a sea of blue
And if I was the king
She's the knife in the water
There's so much to loose
When my love is real
Until it stops
So throw up your hands for south california
And not a lot to loose
I would not sleep until I tried every way
To bring your little black heart back
Love is real
Until it stops
The lyrics of Divine Fits's song "My Love Is Real" seems to be about the overwhelming experience of being in love with someone completely, and the fear of losing that love. The first verse suggests that the singer and their lover were both anxious about something, and that the singer felt stuck, unable to get through to their partner. The line "so where is the chain that will keep us together, this much is true" suggests that the singer realizes that love alone might not be enough to keep them together. The second verse talks about the idea of going down like the poet Mayakovsky, who drowned himself in a sea of blue in a love triangle. The line "And if I was the king, she's the knife in the water, there's so much to lose" seems to suggest that the singer feels vulnerable in this relationship, and that their love could cause them to lose everything. However, the refrain of the song is "My love is real, until it stops" which suggests that, despite everything, the singer's love is genuine and true.
The last verse of the song talks about hope and perseverance. The singer urges the listener to throw up their hands for South California, presumably a place of freedom and possibility. The line "I would not sleep until I tried every way to bring your little black heart back" means that the singer is willing to go to any lengths to save the relationship. The song ends with the line "Love is real, until it stops" which seems to suggest that even if the love does come to an end, it was real while it lasted.

I must have heard this on satellite radio when I had it. Terrestrial radio would never play this, it's too good. It's going in my media player regardless.
