Elevator To Hell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be with you
Just look at all
That we've been through
Tonight instead while we're getting through
With everything I put you through
I love you
I do
This is all
I could ever want to do
Inside my head
With you
I would like to be kissin' you
Before we start what we gotta do
With everything I put you through
I love you
I do.
(With)
Everything I put you through
I love you
I do.
The song “Made For You” by Elevator to Hell is a romantic song that speaks of pure love and devotion towards another person. The lyrics express the marvellous connection between two people who were meant to be together. The opening line, “I was made to be with you,” sets the tone for the entire song which is about how the singer believes that they were crafted specifically to be with their loved one. The lyrics go on to say, “Just look at all that we've been through,” which emphasizes the strong bond that the two have built over time. It is clear that the singer has been through some difficult times and has faced several obstacles, but they have always managed to get through it together.
The chorus, “I would like to be kissin' you tonight instead while we're getting through,” suggests that even in the midst of a crisis, the singer’s only desire is to be with their loved one. The use of the phrase “getting through” also implies that the obstacles that the two face are temporary, and that the focus is on overcoming them together. The lyrics, “With everything I put you through, I love you, I do,” show that the singer is not oblivious to the fact that they have made mistakes and caused pain to their partner, but their love surpasses all of that.
Finally, the song finishes with the repetition of the line “With everything I put you through, I love you, I do.” This might indicate that despite the difficulties that the pair have faced, and the mistakes that the singer has made, their love for each other remains unshakeable. The song’s simplicity of language and melody capture the vulnerability and genuineness of the emotion that it tries to convey.
