Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll laugh at the jokes i don’t understand
You can even try to kiss my cheek
But that doesn't mean our lips will meet
'Cause I’m waiting for my love to
Come and melt the snow
You say love's a lie it doesn't exist
You say it's a shame what I will miss
You surely seem wise and made me think twice
You can tag along but no compromise
Cause I'm waiting for my love to
Come and make me dance
Oh, I know that she is my only chance
'Cause I'm waiting for my love to
Come and make me dance
Oh, I know that she is my only chance
I love i love
Oh no, oh no, oh no
The lyrics of Elisa Rodrigues's song "Justine" convey a sense of longing and anticipation for true love. The singer acknowledges the presence of others who may try to fill the void, but deep down they know that only their true love will make their heart dance. The opening lines ("You can talk to me and give me your hand, I'll laugh at the jokes I don't understand") suggest a willingness to connect with others, even if the connection is not profound. The line "You can even try to kiss my cheek, but that doesn't mean our lips will meet" alludes to the fact that superficial gestures or interactions cannot replace the deep connection the singer craves.
The second verse takes a more introspective turn, as the singer addresses someone who claims that love is a lie and tries to dissuade them from hoping for true love. Yet, the singer remains steadfast in their belief, stating "I'm waiting for my love to come and make me dance, Oh, I know that she is my only chance." This shows a determination to hold onto hope and wait for the one who will bring joy and fulfillment into their life.
Ultimately, the chorus reinforces the idea that the singer is patiently waiting for their true love, acknowledging that this love is their only chance for happiness. The repeated line "I love, I love, oh no, oh no, oh no" could represent both a yearning for love as well as a recognition of the potential heartbreak that may come with it.
Overall, "Justine" captures the emotions of longing, hope, and the belief in the transformative power of true love.
