Loving Arms
Jüri Pootsmann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Honey, you see, it's just another lie
Paying the bills, watching late night TV
WERBUNG
Will you surpass and crawl upon your thigh
I wanna die in your loving arms
Oh, baby
I wanna die in your loving arms
Your loving arms
Your loving arms
Your loving arms
I may not always show you what I'm feeling inside
But you're really like a book I've got nowhere to hide
The smell of your hair and that spark in your eyes
Oh, I go down on my knees and cry
I wanna die in your loving arms
Your loving arms
Oh, baby
I wanna die in your loving arms
Your loving arms
Your loving arms
Your loving arms
Standing at the edge of an ocean
Staring at the great blue sky
Riding on the wave of a motion
Ohh ohh...
Now that we're stronger than ever before
Baby I love you even more
I wanna die in your loving arms
Your loving arms
Oh, baby
I wanna die in your loving arms
Your loving arms
I wanna die in your loving arms
Your loving arms
Oh, baby
I wanna die in your loving arms
Your loving arms
I wanna die in your loving arms
Your loving arms
Oh, baby
I wanna die in your loving arms
Your loving arms, oh
I wanna die in your loving arms
Your loving arms
Oh, loving arms
Oh, loving arms
In "Loving Arms," Jüri Pootsmann describes his desire to find true love and the comfort that comes with it. He starts the song by saying he doesn't need anyone to take care of him, but he later admits that it is a lie. He proceeds to describe how he pays his bills and watches TV alone in the middle of the night. The mention of "WERBUNG" – German for advertisement – suggests that he is watching TV in Germany where he is from. He then asks his lover whether she can surpass her doubts and insecurities and come to him. The line "crawl upon your thigh" implies vulnerability, suggesting that he is asking his partner to share their weaknesses with him.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "I wanna die in your loving arms," emphasizing Jüri's desire to be wrapped in the safety and security of his partner's love. He expresses his admiration for his partner, whom he says he doesn't always show his feelings to, but describes her features as if they were an open book, "The smell of your hair and that spark in your eyes." This revelation leaves him in awe, and he even kneels down and cries as a result.
In the final verse, Jüri is standing at the edge of an ocean, staring at the sky, and riding on the wave of a motion. This suggests that he has found the love he was searching for and is now content. He tells his partner that he now loves her even more than before, which suggests that he has grown as a person and that his love has become deeper.
