Limit to Your Love
James Blake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a waterfall in slow motion
Like a map with no ocean
There's a limit to your love
Your love, your love, your love (your love)
There's a limit to you care
So carelessly there
There's a limit to your care
There's a limit to your love
Like a waterfall in slow motion
Like a map with no ocean
There's a limit to your love
Your love, your love, your love
There's a limit to you care
So carelessly there
Is it truth or dare? (There's a limit to your care)
Is it truth or dare? (There's a limit to your care)
There's a limit to your care
So carelessly there
There's a limit to your care
There's a limit to your love
Like a waterfall in slow motion
Like a map with no ocean
There's a limit to your love
There's a limit to your love
Like a waterfall in slow motion (like a waterfall in slow motion)
Like a map with no ocean (like a map with no ocean)
There's a limit to your love
There's a limit to your love
Your love, your love, your love (your love)
In James Blake's song "Limit to Your Love," the lyrics explore the idea of a love or care that has a limit. The first stanza describes this limit as being like a waterfall in slow motion, emphasizing the idea that the end is inevitable but drawn out. The use of "a map with no ocean" suggests a lack of depth or infinite possibility in the love or relationship. The repetition of "your love" highlights the focus on the subject's emotional capacity.
The second stanza shifts to the limit of the subject's care, describing it as "carelessly there" and questioning whether it is "truth or dare." This could suggest that the subject behaves carelessly without regard for the consequences, or that their care is limited by their willingness to take risks.
The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the cyclical nature of the song's theme, with the limit to the subject's love and care being reiterated. Overall, the lyrics suggest a sense of inevitability and limitation in relationships, and question the depth and truthfulness of the emotions involved.

WALL OF TEXT INCOMING ;)
you could basically take nearly every real (oldschool) dubstep song (not music like skrillex, or most popular artists on ukf and such channels), this sub bass is pretty much typical for the genre
some examples that come to my mind would be:
Distance - Delight (and others)
Loefah - Truly Dread
Skream - Dutch Flowerz (also other songs)
Caspa - Cockney Flute/Cockney Violin
Digital Mystikz - Restructure 2 Rebuild
Distance & Skream - Wise Men
Bukez Finezt - Under Control
Headhunter - Entity
(For really dark and heavy songs: Kryptic Minds, Biome, Benton)
But there are much more and different dubstep songs, thats just to give you an example (I mean, James Blake for example is heavily dubstep influenced as you probably will see^^)
I hope I could help you a little bit, the music is not popular by any means and a lot of people dislike it, but when you get a little into it (and especially when you listen to it with a proper soundsystem and subwoofer^^) you can really start to enjoy it even if it sounds strange or boring at first listen^^
