It's Love
Ellen and Matt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All of this stuff
I'm just a normal bloke you know
A little bit rough
Could it be love
Could it be love
Could it be love
I never learnt the language
I don't have the words to say
What I think I want to say
When she's here
I'm not used to kindness
Nor honesty
I'm not used to people putting up with me
Could it be love
Could it be love
Could it be love
Don't speak the language
I don't got the words
When I'm with her
My heart flies with the birds
My heart flies with the birds
My heart flies with the birds
The birds the birds the birds the birds
My heart flies with the birds
It's above my pay grade
All of this stuff
I'm just a normal bloke
But a little less rough
Could it be love
Could it be love
Could it be love
Could it be love
Could it be could it be
Could it be could it be
Could it be Love
Oh could it be love
Could it be love
The lyrics of Ellen and Matt's song, 'It's Love', offer a unique perspective on the power of love in the midst of heartbreak and adversity. The opening lines, "When a broken heart can't be fixed, Turn it into art, take a glue stick," suggest that in times of heartache, one can channel their emotions and create something beautiful out of the broken pieces. The use of the metaphor of a mosaic made from beautiful scars further emphasizes the idea that even in pain, there can be beauty and growth.
The following lines, "Sometimes love doesn't work out at all... it stalls," acknowledge the reality that love isn't always easy and perfect. However, the chorus emphasizes that love alone cannot solve all of life's problems. "You can't hang it all on love" suggests that while love is important, it isn't the only thing that matters. The line "cos the other stuff is messy" speaks to the reality that life is complex, and there are many factors at play in any relationship.
The second verse continues with the theme of using art to heal, this time suggesting that writing a song can help to mend a broken spirit. The final repetition of the chorus emphasizes once again that love can be cyclical, but it isn't a cure-all for life's struggles. Overall, the lyrics of 'It's Love' offer a nuanced and insightful take on the role of love in navigating the highs and lows of life.
