Love Is Dead
Kerli Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the hardest part
When you feel like a fake
All that you have has become unreal
Collapsing and aching

All I want, all I want is right here
But love don't live here anymore
(Love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)
And love don't live here anymore
(Love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)

I am all that you think of me
When you're beside her, inside her
It must be so hard for you to deny it and hide it

All I want, all I want is right here
But love don't live here anymore
(Love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)
And love don't live here anymore
(Love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)
(Love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)

Love don't live here anymore
(Love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)
And love don't live here anymore
(Love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)
(Love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)




(Love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)
And love don't live here anymore

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Love Is Dead by Kerli represent the pain and heartbreak of a relationship that has ended. The hardest part is when you finally realize that love has faded away and no longer resides in the same space it once did. The singer feels like a fake because the love they thought was real has now become unreal. The collapse and ache of this realization is felt deeply as the reality sinks in that the love they once knew is gone.


The singer then acknowledges that all they want is the love that once existed between them and their partner. However, the love they yearn for is no longer present because it has died. The chorus repeats the phrase "Love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore" to emphasize the finality of it all. In the second verse, the singer acknowledges their partner's new relationship and how it must be difficult for them to hide their feelings. The pain of seeing the person you love move on with someone else is further amplified when you realize that the love you shared is no longer present. The repeating chorus serves as a reminder of this crushing reality.


Overall, Love Is Dead by Kerli is a haunting yet honest depiction of the finality of relationships when love dies. The lyrics speak to the heartache of knowing that the love that once existed is gone and the pain of seeing your partner move on with someone else.

Lyrics:

This is the hardest part
When you feel like you're fading
All that you have has become unreal
Collapsing, and aching

All I want, all I want is right here


But love don't live here anymore
(Love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)
Love don't live here anymore
(Love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)

I know that you think of me when you're
Beside her, inside her
It must be so hard for you to
Deny it and hide it

All I want, all I want is right here

But love don't live here anymore
(Love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)
Love don't live here anymore
(Love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)

Love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore
(Love don't live...)

But love don't live here anymore
(Love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)
Love don't live here anymore
(Love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)

Love don't live here anymore

This woman is a genius whose career was almost ruined by money hungry record labels who had no idea what to do when they actually signed a naturally gifted strong artist with a clear vision for her art. Glad she's independent now. I love this music video, and the message. She morphs into the young beautiful Kerli we know now, but the truth is that she's radiating beauty the second the video starts.
