Is Your Love Big Enough?
La Havas Lianne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I found myself in the secondhand guitar
Never thought it would happen
But I found myself in the secondhand guitar
So I've just got to know
I truly have to know
So you've got to let me know
Got so hot in the city
That I forgot everything I was looking for
Make my way to the dance floor
And I danced 'til I wasn't drunk anymore
So I've just got to know
I truly have to know
So you've got to let me know
Is your love big enough for what's to come?
Is your love big enough?
Underground, underground
With the friends I've found, friends I've found
Underground, underground
With the friends I've found, friends I've found
I scream
I scream
On second avenue
I scream on second avenue
Is your love big enough for what's to come?
Is your love big enough?
Is your love big enough for what's to come?
Is your love big enough for what's to come?
The song "Is Your Love Big Enough?" by Lianne La Havas is a story of self-discovery and self-worth. The opening lines refer to finding oneself in a secondhand guitar, which conveys the idea of discovering oneself in something unexpected or unanticipated. This line is also a metaphor for feeling undervalued or discarded, only to be rediscovered and valued again. The singer questions her partner's capacity to love her, asking if their love is big enough for what's to come, showing her insecurities and doubts about the relationship.
The song talks about losing oneself in the city's chaos and finding solace in dancing, unlike getting drunk, which implies a journey of finding oneself through self-discovery. It also touches on the importance of community and shared experiences, as La Havas sings about being underground with the friends she's found. The repetition of the phrase "Is your love big enough for what's to come?" highlights the singer's need for reassurance from her partner, making the song relatable to anyone who has questioned the strength and sustainability of their relationships.

Found myself in the second
I unexpectedly ended up with a used guitar
I found myself in the secondhand guitar
I obtained a secondhand guitar
Never thought it would happen
I never expected to have a used guitar
But I found myself in the secondhand guitar
Yet, here I am with a used guitar
So I’ve just got to know
I must find out
I truly have to know
I really need to know
So you’ve got to let me know
You need to tell me
Is your love big enough for what’s to come?
Is your love strong enough for what the future holds?
Got so hot in the city
The city became very warm
That I forgot everything I was looking for
I became too preoccupied to remember what I was searching for
Make my way to the dance floor
I went to the area where people were dancing
And I danced 'til I wasn't drunk anymore
I kept dancing until I was no longer under the influence of alcohol
Underground, underground
In an underground space below the surface level
With the friends I've found, friends I've found
Accompanied by the acquaintances I have met
I scream
I shouted loudly
On second avenue
On a street referred to as second avenue
Is your love big enough for what's to come?
Is your love strong enough to endure the future?
Is your love big enough?
Is your love strong enough?
Is your love big enough for what's to come?
Can your love withstand the future?
Is your love big enough for what's to come?
Can your love endure what the future holds?

This album is absolutely incredible, there are no words good enough to describe it!!
@Scotseasy
There are, if you try hard enough to find them.

This song is just Sooo "anthem" - i cant stop hearing Lianne. Big Heart, Big Sound. If you haven't seen it, find Lianne's street concert of "no room for doubt" - It's so quiet and powerful. This one is rapturous, but THAT one, will leave you slack-jawed, forgetting to breathe. Ice Cream I Scream on 2nd Avenue I scream on 2nd Avenue

When you hear a real star, you know it instantly. I'm a bluesrockjazz man and this girl's voice grabbed me from the first second. Love that guitar playing and tone too. Looking forward to seeing you live girl, don't get into the big gigs too soon, give us a break on the club circuit first.
@Spivlarr
Cannot stop listening to this. Such a great sound
@Thomazz46
This lady's got a whole lotta soul going for her!
@guitargeekette
Her voice is incredible. Thank you to my fave Korean actor Park Kiwoong, for making me aware of this song and this woman.
