My Oh My
Gray David Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As it turns as cold as stone?
Seems these days I don't feel anything
'Less it cuts me right down to the bone
What on earth is going on in my heart?
'Cause my oh my, you know it just don't stop
It's in my mind I want to tear it up
But it's not enough
It takes a lot of love
It takes a lot of love my friend
To keep your heart from freezing
To push until the end
My oh my
What on earth is going on in my head?
You know I used to be so sure
You know I used to be so definite
Thought I knew what love was for
I look around these days
I'm not so sure
No no no
My oh my you know it just don't stop
It's in my mind, I want to tear it up
Been trying to fight it, trying to turn it off
But it's not enough
It takes a lot of love
It takes a lot of love my friend
To keep your heart from freezing
To push until the end
My oh my you know I just can't win
I burn it down it comes right back again
What kind of world is this we're living in
Where you never win?
It takes a lot of love
It takes a lot of love these days
To keep your heart from freezing
To keep your spirit free
Oh
My oh my
My oh my you know, it just don't stop
It's in my mind I want to tear it up
Been trying to fight it, trying to turn it off
But it's not enough
It takes a lot of love
It takes a lot of love my friend
To keep your heart from freezing
To push on until the end
My oh my you know it just don't stop
My oh my you know it just don't stop
Just don't, my oh my you know it just don't stop
My oh my
My oh my you know it just don't stop
My oh my
My oh my you know it just don't stop
Well my oh my you know it just don't stop
My oh my now my oh my
My oh my you know it just don't stop
My oh my you know it just don't stop
The lyrics of Gray David's song "My Oh My" describe a feeling of confusion and uncertainty when it comes to love. The singer wonders what is going on in his heart and his head, as he used to be so sure of what love was for, but now he finds himself questioning everything. It seems like he is going through a kind of emotional numbness, where he cannot feel anything unless it hurts him deeply. The repetition of the phrase "My oh my" is a way to express frustration and disbelief at the situation he finds himself in.
The chorus of the song highlights how difficult it is to keep your heart from freezing and to push on until the end. The singer admits that it takes a lot of love to achieve that, but he seems to be struggling with finding it. He mentions fighting and trying to turn off his feelings, but it's not enough. The lyrics suggest that love can be a source of pain and that it's not easy to overcome it.
The song ends with a series of repetitions of "My oh my you know it just don't stop", which can be interpreted as the singer's realization that he cannot escape his feelings and that he will have to face them eventually. The song captures the complexities of love and the emotional toll it can take on a person.
