without
Jack Dine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm hoping for the truth
Jumped right out a plane without a parachute
Nothing beats the view or the thought of you
Loving how you do
Fear of flight, I touch the sky
Blame then cry, then victimize
Soul inside, I see your eyes
Tell me I'm safe just one more time

'Cause I can't seem, seem to get over this
Ignorance in my bliss
Is it real, or did I imagine it?
After it all, I still wanna give
After the hurt, you grow and you live
But what is life without love?




What is life without love?
(Without love)

Overall Meaning

These lyrics convey a sense of hope and vulnerability. The opening line, "I'm hoping for the truth," suggests a desire to understand and experience something genuine. The following line, "Jumped right out a plane without a parachute," metaphorically describes the willingness to take risks and embrace the unknown, even if it means potentially getting hurt. This portrays a fearlessness and a pursuit of something extraordinary.


The phrase "Nothing beats the view or the thought of you" emphasizes the significance and beauty of the person or relationship being referred to. The line "Loving how you do" implies admiration and satisfaction with the way this person loves or treats the singer. It suggests that their love is special and brings joy.


The lines "Fear of flight, I touch the sky / Blame then cry, then victimize / Soul inside, I see your eyes / Tell me I'm safe just one more time" delve into the complexities and insecurities of the singer's emotions. "Fear of flight" refers to a fear of taking risks, while "touch the sky" hints at the potential for great heights and happiness. The reference to blaming, crying, and victimizing suggests that past experiences may have affected the singer's ability to trust and feel safe. By asking to be reassured of their safety, they seek a sense of stability and reassurance within the relationship.


The chorus poses poignant questions about the importance of love in life. "Is it real, or did I imagine it?" portrays a sense of uncertainty and questioning. The singer wonders if the love they experienced was genuine or simply a figment of their imagination. Despite any pain endured, they express a desire to continue giving and growing. "After the hurt, you grow and you live" suggests that despite hardships, one can still find personal growth and continue living. The repetition of "What is life without love?" emphasizes the significance of love in one's existence and suggests that life may lack meaning without it.
