If
Edyta Bartosiewicz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I were to die today
I think that I wouldn't care
If I were to numb my pain
I think I'd rather fade away

My love is crying
'Cause my love
My love is dying

If I were to feel again
I wonder what would make me feel
If I were to love again
I wonder if I could believe

My love is crying
'Cause my love
My love is dying

If I were to lose again
Like I've lost before
I know how it can hurt
I'd rather not to fall in love

My love is crying
My love
My love
My love is dying

No destruction!
I need no destruction!
No emotion!
I feel no emotion!
No no no no reaction!
I want no reaction!
No no devotion!
I want no devotion!
'Cause my love is crying
'Cause my love is crying




'Cause my love
(If I were to die today)

Overall Meaning

These lyrics present a deeply melancholic perspective on love, pain, and emotional withdrawal. The singer opens with a declaration that if they were to die, they would not care, and they would rather "numb" their pain and "fade away." It is unclear what this pain is specifically, but it seems to be related to love, as the refrain says "my love is crying/my love is dying." The second verse presents a sense of emptiness or numbness - if the singer were to feel again or love again, they wonder if anything would truly make them feel or if they could trust in love.


The final stanza provides a series of negations - the singer wants "no destruction," "no emotion," "no reaction," and "no devotion." This seems to be a closing statement on the singer's worldview - they have been so hurt by love in the past that they want nothing to do with it now, and are attempting to shut down all emotions and reactions. However, the final repetition of "my love is crying" seems to suggest that this choice is still causing them pain, whether or not they want to acknowledge it.


Overall, the song presents a haunting, desolate view of love and its aftermath. The singer has been burned so badly that they fear feeling anything at all, and the pain of their past love continues to haunt them even as they attempt to push emotions away.

Wracam do nut sprzed lat, do Osobowości, które mnie ukształtowały. Do Albumów szczególnych. Do Love. W 2021 koncert chłonięty z jarocińskiej sceny. A 16.11 doladuję baterie w Stodole. Pani Edyto, dziękuję za obecność w najważniejszych momentach życia ♥️

Mój nr 1, od kiedy usłyszałem w trójce. Numer 1 jeśli chodzi o muzykę w moim życiu. Zawsze czuję w tej piosence taką iskrę, tajemnice i kocham te bębny!! 😁

moja historia zaczęła się od Tatuażu, czyli rok 1995 (gdy był singlem w stacjach radiowych). Płyta Love pojawiła się póżniej. Na początku nie przypadła mi do gustu. Była dla mnie zbyt "przekombinowana", zbyt popowa. Po latach jednak jest dla mnie totalnym majstersztykiem.

Sanna bella
