Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My eyes are wide open
Oh my love for the first time in my life
My eyes can see
I see the wind
Oh, I see the trees
Everything is clear in my heart
Oh, I see the sky
Everything is clear in our world
Oh my love for the first time in my life
My mind is wide open
Oh my lover for the first time in my life
My mind can feel
I feel the sorrow
Oh, I feel dreams
Everything is clear in my heart
I feel life
Oh, I feel love
Everything is clear in our world
Elaine Silver's song "Oh My Love" is a poetic expression of newfound clarity and openness in love. The repetition of "for the first time in my life" emphasizes the transformative power of this love, as the singer's senses become awakened and heightened. The use of nature imagery, such as "wind," "trees," "clouds," and "sky," connects the singer's experience to the vastness and beauty of the natural world, while also suggesting a sense of freedom and expansiveness.
The contrast between "sorrow" and "dreams," as well as "life" and "love," highlights the complexity of this newfound clarity. While the singer is able to see and feel more deeply than before, they are also confronted with the full spectrum of human experience. However, the repetition of "everything is clear in my heart" and "our world" suggests that this clarity brings a sense of unity and connection with others, as well as a deeper understanding of oneself.
Overall, "Oh My Love" is a beautiful and evocative expression of love's transformative power to awaken and deepen our senses, connect us to the natural world, and bring clarity to our hearts and minds.
