Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I dont wanna hurt you or make you feel bad
i been around yeah i been around
Before i fade away gimme love
I'm on my knees all the time i'm here for you yeah i'm here for you
i'm stuck in a moment i can't come clean i been around but i'm never seen.
Before i fade away gimme love
I dont wanna hurt baby no i dont wanna make you feel bad i been around for a long long time
i'm the best you never had you give me love gotta give me love
Before i fade away gimme love
Before i fade away gimme love
Electric Mary's song "Gimme Love" is a track about the craving for love and affection, which the singer seems to have been missing out on for a long time. The song has a consistent beat and clear lyrics that point towards the loneliness and desperation the singer is experiencing, which makes the overall mood of the song quite gloomy. The lyrics "Gimme love anytime 24/7 hours" are repeated throughout, emphasizing the desire for love and its importance so that it can be given and received at any time.
The next set of lyrics, "I don't wanna hurt you or make you feel bad," implies that the person singing has potentially hurt people in the past and doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes. They have been around and have experienced different relationships but have not been able to find the love they seek. The line "Before I fade away, gimme love" suggests that the singer is on the verge of giving up and wants to feel love before it's too late.
The chorus, "I'm on my knees all the time, I'm here for you," emphasizes that the person singing is willing to do anything to receive love and affection. The repetitive phrase "Before I fade away, gimme love" shows a sense of urgency, as if the singer fears that all is lost if they don't receive love soon. The song as a whole is quite melancholic but conveys a deep-rooted desire for connection and acceptance.
