Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take care of me now
Take care of me now
Well you're climbin higher
and you're sinkin low
and you have your passion
but you're down below
and you try to get out
somebody's pushin'
and you're fallin down
fallin down again
Where oh where is the love?
Where oh where is the love?
A boy wakes up in the middle of the night
trapped in his dreams and he can't get out (oh yeah)
a girl is harrassed by the boys at school
they call her names she thinks she's a fool (santé)
You'd better keep quiet , and you keep it to yourself
where oh where is the love?
where oh where is the love?
God I need some protection
my child is hungry
need action
i can't sleep my mind is in sections
I'm trapped in circles need affection
Make war not peace is in session
The whole world spells aggression
I'm building a wall for protection
Where, oh where is the love?
Where oh where is the love?
Where oh where is the love?
where oh where is the love?
Where oh where is the love?
Where oh where is the love?
The lyrics of M-Rock Emrik's song "Where is the Love?" touch upon various themes of struggle, vulnerability, and the longing for love and understanding. The repetition of the line "Take care of me now" emphasizes a plea for support and compassion in a challenging world. The lyrics suggest that individuals find themselves caught in cycles of highs and lows, represented by climbing higher and sinking low. Despite having passions and dreams, they feel trapped below and worry about their state of mind. The mention of somebody pushing and falling down implies external pressures and the feeling of being overwhelmed.
The chorus repeatedly asks the question "Where oh where is the love?" This question is likely directed at the world, highlighting the lack of empathy, understanding, and care experienced by the singer and perhaps others as well. The verses give glimpses into different individuals' struggles, like a boy trapped in his dreams and a girl who faces harassment at school. These experiences accentuate the need for love and support in challenging situations.
The bridge brings a spiritual perspective, appealing for protection and intervention from a higher power. It mentions the hunger of a child, the restless mind, and the desire for affection. The line "Make war not peace is in session" may be a critique of a world dominated by conflict and aggression. The mention of building a wall for protection could be both physical and metaphorical, symbolizing the need for barriers in a harsh reality.
Overall, "Where is the Love?" conveys a sense of longing for love, understanding, and peace in a troubled world. It sheds light on various struggles individuals face and emphasizes the importance of empathy and compassion.

A boy wakes up in the middle of the night
A young boy awakens during the night
trapped in his dreams and he can't get out
feeling trapped in his own dreams with no escape
a girl is harrassed by the boys at school
a girl is being harassed by her male classmates
they call her names she thinks she's a fool
they insult her and make her feel stupid
You'd better keep quiet , and you keep it to yourself
It's safer to remain silent and keep your thoughts to yourself
Where oh where is the love?

God I need some protection
Dear God, I require protection

i can't sleep my mind is in sections
I cannot sleep as my thoughts are fragmented

I feel trapped in a cycle and require affection
Make war not peace is in session
The focus is on conflict rather than peace
The whole world spells aggression
The entire world exhibits aggression
I'm building a wall for protection
I'm constructing a barrier to safeguard myself
Where, oh where is the love?
Where is the affection and care?
Where oh where is the love?
Where is the affection and care?
Where oh where is the love?
Where is the affection and care?
