Woman in Love
Lori Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Falling in love with love is playing the fool
Caring too much in such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust is just for children in school
I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see
I fell in love with love, with love everlasting
I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see
I fell in love with love, with love everlasting
But love fell out with me
The lyrics to Lori Carsillo's So In Love explore the concept of falling in love with love itself rather than an actual person. The opening lines "Falling in love with love is falling for make-believe" and "Falling in love with love is playing the fool" suggest that the act of obsessing over the idea of love rather than the actual reality of it can lead to disappointment and is ultimately a foolish endeavor. The lyrics also touch on the idea that being too innocent and naive, or "juvenile fancy," can lead to trusting too easily and being hurt in the end.
The chorus then goes on to describe the singer's personal experience with falling in love with love. "I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full" implies a romantic and dreamy setting, while "unwise with eyes unable to see" suggests that the singer was blinded by their love for the idea of love. The repetition of "with love everlasting" emphasizes the idea that the singer believed their love would be eternal, only to have it fall apart in the end.
