Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shameless he don't wait around
got under my skin, so brazen
lifting me up off the ground
ain't no coming down, I'm way up
no halo

this love is do or die
deeper than i coulda found
devoted to my new salvation

He push and pull like the ocean move
rough and wild, cut my heart in two

Riot through my body

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Harper's song "Radical Love" describe the intense and all-consuming feeling of being in love with someone who is "shameless" and "wicked inside," but who also lifts you up and makes you feel like you're "way up" with no way to come down. The singer is devoted to this new love, which is "deeper than I could've found," and is willing to be ruled by their partner because they won't resist it. The chorus speaks to the physical and emotional power of this love, with lines like "push a lil further now, got no boundary no limit, wear that power like a crown, rule me cause I won’t resist it." The riot in the body is used metaphorically to describe the intensity of the physical sensations and emotions that come with this love.


The second verse describes the physical and emotional impact of this love, with lines like "he push and pull like the ocean move, rough and wild, cut my heart in two, renegade, untamed and beautiful." This love is described as radical and do or die, and the singer is willing to be a weapon for their partner, counting down the seconds until their body gets close. The last couplet of the chorus repeats the lines "riot through my body" and "radical love me" and calls for the love to be done radically.
