Cupid Is Real
Kepi Ghoulie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
And I can′t think straight and I'm falling apart.
I don′t wanna work and I don't wanna eat and I don't wanna breathe and I don′t wanna speak.
Cupid is real I been shot so bad, there should be blood pouring out these wounds I have.
Cupid is real I been shot so deep, I can′t function my brain, I can't move in my feet.
Never saw it coming, always kept my guard, and I got hit and I got hit hard.
He said "I can′t help you try Scotland Yard."
Cupid is real I been shot in the heart,
And I can't think straight and I′m falling apart.
Cupid is real I been shot so deep, I can't function my brain, I can′t move in my feet.
In these lyrics of Kepi Ghoulie's song "Cupid Is Real," the singer expresses the overwhelming and all-consuming feeling of being shot by Cupid, the mythical figure of love. The metaphorical imagery of being shot in the heart signifies the profound impact love can have on a person. The singer describes feeling unable to focus, function, or even perform basic tasks like eating or breathing, emphasizing the all-encompassing nature of love's effects.
The lines "Cupid is real I been shot in the heart,
And I can't think straight and I'm falling apart" encapsulate the disorienting and destabilizing experience of being in love. The repeated mention of being shot deep and the imagery of blood pouring out of wounds symbolize the intensity and depth of the emotional wounds inflicted by love. The overwhelming emotions stemming from being shot by Cupid are so powerful that they impair the singer's ability to think clearly and carry out daily activities.
The lyrics further delve into the unexpected nature of falling in love, as the singer reflects on how they never saw it coming and had maintained their guard. Despite their efforts to protect themselves, love still managed to penetrate their defenses and hit them hard. The reference to seeking help from a lawyer who dismisses their troubles and suggests turning to the police paints a picture of desperation and helplessness in the face of love's overwhelming force.
The repeated chorus affirming "Cupid is real I been shot in the heart" reinforces the theme of being deeply affected by love. The singer's struggles to function and move physically due to the emotional impact of being shot by Cupid convey the idea that love can be paralyzing and all-consuming. Overall, these lyrics poignantly capture the tumultuous, disorienting, and overpowering experience of falling deeply in love and being at the mercy of Cupid's arrows.
