Down To The Bone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it always broke your heart
You know those paper rings, girl, always fall apart
They say that nothing lasts too long
But I know something that's gonna stay forever strong...
Our love is timeless like a summer day
Forever soulful like Marvin Gaye
I love you, baby, timelessly
Ooh baby... ooh...
Watching the world go by
Changing everyday
They tear down a thing of beauty
To build some new highway
What's here today may disappear
But baby, our love surely will survive the years
Because it's timeless like a summer day
And everlasting as a Shakespeare play
Baby, timeless as a melody
I love you baby, timelessly
Ooh...
Where there is love
There is endless hope and boundless dreams
When you got love
There's no limits to be seen
Girl, you know what I mean
They say that nothing lasts too long
But I know something that's gonna stay forever strong...
Our love is timeless
Like a summer day
Forever soulful like Marvin Gaye
Baby, timeless as a melody
I love you, baby, timelessly...
Timeless like a summer day
Forever soulful as a Shakespeare play
Baby, timeless, as a melody
I love you baby, timelessly...
Ooh...
The lyrics to "I'll Always Hold You Close" by Down To The Bone speaks about the undying nature of love between two people. The song acknowledges that love is not always easy; it comes with heartbreaks and things that tear the couple apart, but the singer communicates that he has found a love that is timeless, everlasting, and everlasting as a melody. The paper rings mentioned in the song are symbolic of temporary love because they are not durable and can easily fall apart. However, the singer affirms that his love will last forever, even in the midst of a changing world where things come and go quickly.
The songwriter uses metaphors like "timeless like a summer day" and "forever soulful like Marvin Gaye," to describe the love that he has found. These metaphors emphasize that love is not something that can be bought or sold. And, it is not something that will fade away over time. The line, "Where there is love, there is endless hope and boundless dreams," suggests that when love is present, anything is possible. There's no limit to what a couple can achieve when they have the assurance that their love will stay forever.
In conclusion, "I'll Always Hold You Close" by Down To The Bone is an affirmation of true love. The song reminds us that despite the challenges that we sometimes face in our relationships, love will always survive. Love is timeless and unchanging; it is not affected by the changing world. With this song, Down To The Bone urges us to find that special love that will last forever.
