Frantic Flintstones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Any heart not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, mmm, mmm, love hurts
I'm young I know but even so
I know a thing or two I learned from you
Love is like a stove burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, mmm, mmm, love hurts
Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
But they're not fooling me
I know it isn't true, know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts, mmm, mmm, love hurts
The lyrics to Frantic Flintstones's song "Candyman" speak to the painful and often heart-wrenching reality of love. The repeated refrain of "Love hurts" is a powerful statement that reminds us all of the emotional wounds that often accompany falling in love. The opening lines, "Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and marks," paint a vivid picture of the ways in which love can leave us battered and bruised. It is a powerful and emotional message that resonates with anyone who has ever been in love.
The second verse, which begins with "I'm young I know but even so," speaks to the universal experience of learning from those who have come before us. The singer acknowledges that they are still young and inexperienced, but they have already learned a lot from the person they are addressing. They go on to compare love to a stove that burns, underscoring the idea that love can be painful and that one can easily get burned if they are not careful.
The final verse is a biting commentary on those who believe that love is always happy and blissful. The singer asserts that such people are fooling themselves because love is not always what it seems. In the end, the message of the song is clear: love can be a painful and difficult experience, but it is also an essential part of the human experience and one that we must all navigate in our own way.
