Unconditional Love
Kitchie Nadal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Unconditional love don't come around these days
Bargaining tragedy, lost and found identity
Human shooting star, how I wonder what you are
Sitting pretty into pieces up above the world so high

There, there you are, there you are
There, there you are, there you are
Gain the whole world only to forfeit your soul
Born unto the Lord, turn and turn me into nothing but yours

There, there you are, there you are
There, there you are, there you are

I'm turning into
I'm turning into
I'm turning into nothing but yours

I'm turning into
I'm turning into
I'm turning into nothing but yours





Unconditional love don't come around these days

Overall Meaning

The first line of the song, "Unconditional love don't come around these days," sets up the theme of the song as something rare and valuable. The next line, "Bargaining tragedy, lost and found identity," suggests that the search for this kind of love can be fraught with difficulties and the pain of loss or confusion of who we are. The line "Human shooting star, how I wonder what you are," could be interpreted as the singer expressing admiration or envy for someone who seems to have found or experienced this kind of love. The following line, "Sitting pretty into pieces up above the world so high," suggests that perhaps this person is out of reach or unattainable.


The repeated chorus of "there you are" could be taken as the singer expressing relief at having found this person or this kind of love, but it's possible that the phrase is meant to be more ambiguous. The next lines, "Gain the whole world only to forfeit your soul/Born unto the Lord, turn and turn me into nothing but yours," suggest a spiritual aspect to the song, with the idea that the pursuit of material or ego-driven goals can lead to a loss of soul, whereas surrendering to a higher power or to another person in love can lead to a sense of oneness or unity.


Overall, the song seems to be grappling with the idea that unconditional love is something that we all crave, but that it's not easy to find or hold onto. The spiritual and religious imagery suggests that the singer sees this kind of love as something transcendent, although the repeated chorus of "there you are" could also be seen as a more earthly expression of longing for connection and intimacy.
