Loveless
Facta feat. Hodge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like some friendships when your money's gone
Love stands in with the loan sharks when your heart's in pawn
If I had some strong wings like an aeroplane
Had some broad wings like some aeroplane
I would fly away forever
Never to come again
For love, oh, love, oh, loveless love
Has set our hearts from gold-less gold
From milk-less milk and silk-less silk
We are growing used to soul-less souls
Such grafting times we never saw
That's why we have a pure full law
In everything we find a flaw
Even love, oh, love, oh, loveless love
Just to fly away from loveless love
The lyrics of Facta feat. Hodge's song Loveless describe the concept of love and how it can be fickle and fleeting. The first stanza compares love to a hydrant that can be turned on and off, indicating that people's emotions can change frequently. The second stanza likens love to friendships that can quickly disappear when someone's money runs out, suggesting that love can be based on materialistic values rather than deeper, emotional connections. The third stanza describes the desperation that people feel when they're in love and in debt, and how love can be as dangerous and ruthless as loan sharks.
The fourth stanza is a metaphorical way of saying that sometimes, people just want to escape from the pain of love. If they had "strong wings" like an airplane, they would "fly away forever" and never return. This indicates that love can be so overwhelming and suffocating that people want to flee from it altogether. The chorus highlights the consequences of love that is loveless - it can turn precious things like gold, milk, and silk into things that are meaningless and worthless. People can become so accustomed to feeling empty that they become "used to soul-less souls".
The final stanza suggests that these tough times are unprecedented and that humans search for perfection in a world that has a lot of inconsistencies. The singer concludes by saying that love - even when it's loveless - makes people want to run away and escape the pain. Overall, the lyrics of Loveless are stark and poignant, reflecting on how love can be both beautiful and dangerous at the same time.
