A shaky thing called love
Equatronic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
she’s got legs
and apparently all the rest
but something’s missing
when we’re kissing
in the park
her lips
pressed on mine
remind me
of blood cold and dark
for years now
we have been
playing this old love scene
it’s cushier than
to reflect
I dare say it’s only
a matter of habit
a question of time
and respect
do I need this anymore?
no it’s not easy to grasp
what is holding us
always a see-saw
we should approve
I found an answer to cope with
cause it’s enough
I’ll walk on my own way
without that shaky thing called love
„oh my god
please don’t leave,
I need you to achieve
all the wishes
I had
in my life“
but now time’s come for me
and I don’t want to be
a blind passenger
on your drive through life
far be it
from me to deny
we also had great times
but don’t you know that’s
not the point?
there are so
many reasons
you don’t see
a threesome
it’s sure not the
answer of my choice
Equatronic's song "A shaky thing called love" speaks about a relationship that has lost its spark and how the singer is questioning the need for this love anymore. The song starts off with describing the physical attributes of the partner, and how they seem to have everything, but there’s still something missing. When they kiss in the park on a sunny day, it only reminds the singer of something cold and dark. This feeling has been going on for years, and the love between them seems like a matter of habit and respect rather than passion. The singer questions the need for this kind of love anymore and whether they should keep playing the same old scene.
In the following lines, the partner begs not to be left and talks about how they need the singer to achieve all the wishes they had in their life. However, the singer has realized that they do not want to be a blind passenger on someone else's drive through life anymore. They had great times, but that doesn't matter when the relationship has lost its essence. The singer ends the song by saying that they have found a coping mechanism and that they prefer to "walk on my own way without that shaky thing called love.”
