Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
all the clock struck one, the mouse ran down hickory dickory dock
well i know it's late
and it's probaly fate
that i can't get trough to you,
but i needed to hear your voice in my ear
to start my day anew,
now you fast asleep,
so when you get up and you ready to rock
you can make my mobile beep.
oh, the look of your eyes of gold
and the freshness inside of your soul
it takes a hold of my glance you got me in trance
and you heat me up in the cold.
oh, this soothing sound of your voice
it speaks to my heart in rhyme
you lift me out before to now and you placed me back in time.
we are the wandering love from dusk till dawn
we are the wandering love like two cats in the storm
we are the wandering love all day long
we are the wandering love and we, we can't beat on
make my mobile beep
we are the wandering love
Hickory dickory dock the mouse ran off the clock
all the clock struck one, the mouse ran down hickory dickory dock
this is me, leave the message after the beat.
well i know it's late
and it's probaly fate
that i can't get trough to you,
but i needed to hear your voice in my ear
to start my day anew,
but your phone was off and i missed your calls
now you fast asleep,
so when you get up and you ready to rock
you can make my mobile beep.
we are the wandering love from dusk till dawn
we are the wandering love like two cats in the storm
we are the wandering love all day long
we are the wandering love and we, we can't beat on
red, and yellow, and pink, and green, orange, and purple, and blue
i can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow tooooo.
red, and yellow, and pink, and green, orange, and purple, and blue
i can see a rainbow, see a rainbow and this rainbow is you
The lyrics of "Wandering Love" by Dub Fx touch on themes of love and the desire to connect with a loved one, even when they are physically absent. The song opens with the line "Hickory dickory dock, the mouse ran off the clock," which serves as a playful reference to the well-known nursery rhyme, emphasizing the childlike sense of whimsy and fun that pervades the song. The singer then expresses frustration over not being able to get through to their lover, but also a deep sense of longing to hear their voice in order to start their day anew.
Throughout the song, the singer speaks of the power of their lover's presence, describing the "freshness inside of your soul" and the "soothing sound of your voice" that speaks to their heart in rhyme. This describes the intense emotional connection that they share, which transcends physical boundaries and allows them to feel complete despite being physically apart. The song's chorus repeats the line "we are the wandering love," emphasizing this sense of shared connection and the strength of their bond.
Towards the end of the song, the singer sings the classic children's song, "I Can Sing a Rainbow." This playful and whimsical interlude serves as a metaphor for the joy and beauty that their lover brings into their life, with each color of the rainbow representing a different aspect of their connection. The final line of the song, "this rainbow is you," reinforces this sense of completion and unity between the two lovers.
Overall, "Wandering Love" is a playful yet poignant exploration of the power of love to transcend physical distance and connect two people on a deep emotional level.
