Kindness Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's enough to say
You're getting older everyday
You ought to love someone

You break down and you pray
Hoping something comes your way
You ought to love someone
Love someone

It's enough to say
You're getting older everyday
You ought to love someone

You break down and you pray
Hoping something comes your way
You ought to love someone
Love someone

I can't give you all that you need
But I'll give you all I can feel

I can't give you all that you need
But I'll give you all I can feel

It's enough to say
You're getting older everyday
You ought to love someone

You break down and you pray
Hoping something comes your way
You ought to love someone
Love someone





I can't give you all that you need
But I'll give you all I can feel

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kindness's song House suggest an emotional plea to connect with someone and to give oneself permission to love, even if it is not reciprocated in the same way. The song seems to address an individual who is experiencing a sense of longing and vulnerability. The lines "It's enough to say you're getting older every day, you ought to love someone" point to the inevitability of time, and how it is crucial to take the opportunity to love someone while we still can. The notion of prayer leads to the suggestion that love is beyond our control, and we can only hope that something comes our way. Thus, the plea for the listener to love someone seems to stem from the recognition that love has the power to transform and heal.


The lyrics in the chorus reaffirm the message that we should love someone, and love them unconditionally, even if we cannot provide everything they need. Sometimes, even a small offering of love and affection can mean the world to someone, and this is what Kindness refers to when they sing, "I can't give you all that you need, but I'll give you all I can feel." These lines suggest that the singer acknowledges their limitations, but they are willing to offer what they have.


Overall, Kindness's House conveys a powerful message about the transformative power of love, and the importance of taking the opportunity to love someone while we still can. It recognizes the limitations of human love, but also celebrates the power that even small acts of kindness can have, in the face of the inevitability of time.
