I Love You
Ferry Corsten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take everything away
Just try to shake me
Out of my place
Nothings created
And nothing is destroyed
Just try to tame me
You′ll never find a way
And no way to brake
Nothing′s created
And nothing is destroyed
Take it away,
I'll never give this up
No way to break
We're all made of love
(There isn′t a way)
We′re all made of love
Just try to save me
There's nothing you can change
There′s no explaining
And no one to blame
Nothings created
And nothing can destroy
I'll never give this up
We′re all made of love
We're all made of love
I′ll never give this up
We're all made of love
We're all made of love
The first verse of Ferry Corsten's song, "I Love You," encourages anyone who tries to break or shake him to do their worst. He asserts that nothing can destroy him, and no one can contain or tame him. Corsten then repeats that nothing is created or destroyed, emphasizing that everything simply is - a way of indicating his own strength and self-assuredness.
The second verse extends this sentiment to others, telling them that there is nothing they can do to change him, just as he himself cannot be destroyed or contained. Corsten affirms that he will never give up on this essential quality, which is love. He then concludes with the refrain that everyone, including himself, is made of love, and that this aspect of humanity cannot be broken or destroyed.
Corsten's lyrics suggest a deep sense of inner strength and belief in the resilience of the human spirit. The repeated phrase, "We're all made of love," could be interpreted as a call to unity and an affirmation of the common humanity that underlies all of us.

He has such a gift with writing emotional melodies. I fell in love with trance because of the story and feelings they create with minimal to no lyrics.
