Is This Love
Lee Ritenour Will Downing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes I know
And I'm only enemy
Pain is all that I can see oh
I see you're climbing a tree
And I know
That it's easier to be up high in
And it's love, etc
You say you can't say anymore
You've already said it before
In a million different ways
Which where all not quite right
The rain is loud on the ground
Yes I know
But I don't even make a sound when
I come around oh
And you say I'd be better of dead
Well I know
But its no use hiding this pretty
Head in the ground
And it's love, etc
And we can do the zarathustra
We can do the broken fist
We can tear down all the borders
Or abbreviate the list
And when finally the finish line
Emerges from the mist
We'll sound a soft alarm
Woah oh
The lyrics to Lee Ritenour & Will Downing's song "Is this love?" are a reflection of a relationship between two individuals who are vastly different from each other. The first stanza addresses the fact that the two individuals have different personalities and are at odds with each other. The second stanza speaks to the idea that one person in the relationship has expressed themselves to the other person multiple times, but these expressions haven't been received or understood. The third and final stanza suggest that the two individuals can either come together and break down barriers, or they can continue with the current situation and suffer in silence. Throughout the song, there is a sense of tension and frustration between the two people trying to make the relationship work.
The chorus of the song is "And it's love, etc," which suggests that despite the difficulties and differences between the two individuals, they still share some sort of love or connection. However, the word "etc" also implies that there are other emotions and dynamics at play in the relationship. The verse "And you say I'd be better off dead, well I know, but it's no use hiding this pretty head in the ground" is particularly striking because it addresses the idea that one person in the relationship wishes the other person harm. This highlights the depth of the tension between the two individuals.
Overall, the lyrics of "Is this love?" are insightful and evocative. They capture the complexities of relationships and the difficulties of trying to make it work with someone who is vastly different from you.
