Risky Love
Lime Cordiale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be standing out
Probably got a gun
Gonna shoot me down
Big boy cause I
Know he steps aloud
Ready to make a run
With my eyes still out
Let me know
Let me know
Let me know
When it gets too hard
And I know
And I know
And I know
That you're not that dumb
Your awful mind is after me
We've been acting so carefree
It's risky love
It's risky love
Your awful mind is after me
We've been acting so carefree
It's risky love
It's risky love
Tough trust when I
Know you sleep around
Maybe you do the same
No when I'm here now
Worry when you're out drinking somewhere else
But I worry even more when I'm by myself
Let me know
Let me know
Let me know
When it gets too hard
And I know
And I know
And I know
You are not that dumb
Your awful mind is after me
We've been acting so carefree
It's risky love
It's risky love
Your awful mind is after me
We've been acting so carefree
It's risky love
It's risky love
Most likely you're just taking it out on me
Of course I'm second
Most likely you're just taking it out
O-o-on me
All across my mind
You do it two of a kind
Probably gonna miss
Right after this
But I'll take one on my life
Yeah mmm
I can't catch your eyes
I'll be standing out
Probably got a gun
Gonna shoot me down
Tough trust when I
Know you sleep around
Maybe you do the same
No when I'm here now
Your awful mind is after me
We've been acting so carefree
It's risky love
(I can't catch your eyes
I'll be standing out)
It's risky love
Your awful mind is after me
We've been acting so carefree
It's risky love
(Probably got a gun
Gonna shoot me down)
It's risky love
In the first verse of Lime Cordiale's song "Risky Love", the singer expresses a sense of danger and unease about a romantic relationship. The metaphorical use of gun and the lyric "Big boy 'cause I/ Know he steps aloud/ Ready to make a run" conveys that the person they're interested in is physically intimidating and a possible threat. The singer is aware that their love interest is risky but still yearns for them to reciprocate their feelings before it gets too hard. The chorus insists that their attraction is a "risky love," and the singer seems to be aware of the potential outcome while also admitting their reliance on the relationship.
The second verse of "Risky Love" adds to the complexities of the relationship. The singer acknowledges that their partner is unfaithful, stating that "tough trust" is warranted. While the singer is aware of their partner's infidelity, they still worry when they're out drinking alone or not with them. The chorus repeats with similar phrasing as previous, emphasizing that the singer is aware of the dangers within the relationship, but the temptation is too strong to let go. The ending lyric "It's risky love" solidifies the notion of the dangers that lurk within the relationship, leaving the listener with the sense that the singer may not be content with the decisions they've made.

I don't know if this is because I've been listening to this album on repeat for two days and contemplating life, but that 20 seconds between 2:00 and 2:20 is the epitome of bittersweetness; life affirming and heartbreaking at the same time...
Jackson Maynard
I agree with this comment so much
Lauren
Nilüfer Bayram that’s exactly how I felt
Maggie Steele
