What is love? What is love? Tell me
What is (L-O-V-E), what is love? Oh, what is love? Can you tell me?
What is love?
The lyrics of Exile's "What is Love" express a feeling of confusion and uncertainty about the concept of love. The singer starts off by pondering the definition and spelling of the word "love," and then goes on to question how one can trust a relationship where lies and betrayal are possible. The lyrics suggest that, even when two people are together, they may only be looking out for their own self-interests. The chorus repeats the singer's desire to understand the meaning of love, despite feeling disillusioned by the harsh realities of relationships.
The second verse continues to explore the theme of love's complexities, focusing on the idea that people often criticize each other (perhaps for falling short of the ideal of love) and become emotionally distant as a result. The singer apologizes for contributing to this dynamic, feeling remorse for the beautiful things that have been lost or evaporated. The pre-chorus returns to the notion that people can't really understand the meaning of love, no matter how desperately they may seek it out. Throughout the song, the repeated question "What is love?" serves as a refrain, highlighting the singer's uncertainty and search for answers.
Overall, "What is Love" is a poignant meditation on the ways in which love can be confusing, elusive, and difficult to define. The lyrics suggest a sense of disillusionment and even despair at times, but also convey the singer's persistent desire for understanding and connection.
