Suckerlove
Kate Havnevik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be said now, the spark has gone
The vultures waiting with the devil smile
Our love forsaken concealed in lies
Suckerlove, baby
It is not worth keeping
So try another one
Suckerlove, baby
It is not worth fighting
So try another one
We shared fears and our delights
Climbed icy mountains, committed crimes
Now I know I've been as bad as you
So boy, let's face it, now we are through
Suckerlove, baby
It is not worth keeping
So try another one
Suckerlove, baby
It is not worth fighting
So try another, try another
Suckerlove, baby
It is not worth keeping
So try another one
Suckerlove, baby
It is not worth fighting
So try another, try another
Try another
Try another love, love
The song Suckerlove by Kate Havnevik seems to describe the end of a relationship that has gone sour. The opening lines, "We both know there's nothing more to be said now, the spark has gone," indicate that the couple has reached a dead end and there is no love left between them. The second line suggests that vultures are waiting with a devilish grin, implying that the singer and her partner have been consumed by their own love and destroyed by it. They have concealed their love in lies, which has led to its demise.
The chorus of the song, "Suckerlove, baby, it is not worth keeping, so try another one," is a direct message to the singer's partner telling him that their love is lost and it is not worth holding onto. The singer suggests that they try another love and move on from what they once had. Even though they shared so much together, fear and delight included, they have committed crimes against their own love and each other. The singer accepts her own flaws, but knows that the relationship is doomed to fail.
