I Shall Love 2
Julia Holter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

That is all, that is all
There is nothing else

I am in love
What can I do?
Oh, I am in love
What can I do?
That is all, that is all
There is nothing else
Who cares what people say?
Who cares what people say?

Why do you squander?
Why do you hoard?
Why do you squander?
Why do you hoard?

In all the human errors there is something true
But do the angels say, do the angels say
"I shall love"?
I shall love, I shall love, I shall love, I shall love
I shall love, I shall, I shall, I shall, I shall love
I shall love, I shall love, I shall, I shall, I shall love
I shall, I shall, I shall, shall, shall, shall (Ooh)
I shall, shall, shall, shall, shall love




Love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love (I shall love, I shall love, I shall, I shall, I shall love)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Julia Holter's song "I Shall Love 2" are deeply introspective and thought-provoking. At its core, the song is about the complex and mysterious nature of love. In the opening lines, we hear "That is all, that is all, there is nothing else." This can be interpreted as a sign of surrender to love, the acknowledgement that love is the be-all and end-all of everything. The repeated refrain of "I am in love, what can I do?" conveys a sense of powerlessness and inevitability - love is something that happens to us, and we have little control over it.

I've found the truth on 20 May 2020

This is one of the best songs I've ever heard, I absolutely love this. It's so atmospheric, creative and fantastical. It makes me feel happy, genuinely happy. A song has legit never made me felt this way, and I've heard all types of music. This is what I've been looking for all along, what an absolute beauty.

EMILIA HERNANDEZ VELAZQUEZ is this a joke?

WILL E

One of THE greatest endings to a song I've heard. A stunning crescendo of transcendental brilliance. How a song ends is such an underrated component - needless to say its subtle beginnings will mean most peoples goldfish attentions are diverted long before that point.

Gabriel

I shall love this song, forever.

Phil Malley

Julia is blessed when she writes something this beautiful she absolutely nails it.

Niby After Night

Oh my God this is truly incredible. The vocal layering is so intricate and beautiful, and the crescendo is akin to religious ecstasy. I cannot see another song topping this this year.
