Gimme Love
KARAVANN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't, don't know where to hide away, time has run out
You keep lying awake at night somewhere, somehow

Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love, gimme love, love
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love, yeah

You'll stay the horizon far away
Beyond my sight
One day we will rise up in the air
Embraced by light

(Gimme love, gimme love)
(Gimme love, gimme love)

Back then, so many moons ago, we tried to get away
But when we lost our compass I thought I heard you say

Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love, gimme love, love
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love, yeah

You'll stay the horizon far away
Beyond my sight
One day we will rise up in the air
Embraced by light

(Gimme love, gimme love)
(Gimme love, gimme love)

Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love, gimme love, love
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love, yeah

Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love, gimme love, love
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love, yeah

You'll stay the horizon far away
Beyond my sight
One day we will rise up in the air
Embraced by light

You'll stay the horizon far away
Beyond my sight
One day we will rise up in the air
Embraced by light

(Gimme love, gimme love)
(Gimme love, gimme love)




(Gimme love, gimme love)
(Gimme love, gimme love)

Overall Meaning

The chorus of KARAVANN's "Gimme Love" is a plea for affection and connection. The singer admits to feeling lost and alone ("You don't, don't know where to hide away, time has run out / You keep lying awake at night somewhere, somehow"), and begs for love as a solution to this isolation ("Gimme love, gimme love..."). Despite feeling disconnected, the singer holds out hope for unity and transcendent love ("One day we will rise up in the air / Embraced by light").


The verses of the song provide some context for this desperation for connection. It seems that the singer and their partner had attempted to escape their problems in the past ("Back then, so many moons ago, we tried to get away"), but failed and lost their way ("But when we lost our compass..."). This failure may have created distance and mistrust between the two lovers, resulting in the present-day loneliness that the chorus expresses.


Overall, "Gimme Love" is a powerful ballad about the human need for emotional connection and the sometimes painful journey to find it. The lyrics suggest that love can be a catalyst for change and transformation, and that even when we feel lost, there is always the possibility of finding our way back to one another.
