Love Is Leaving
M.Street Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze
As season fly I knew that I was losing
Love was washed away with the driftin tide
Oh it's a dirty old shame that all you get from love is a love song
It's gotcha layin up nights waiting for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song
Because the best love song is writing with a broken heart
The future that lies before me I cannot see
Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising
Lightin' up the world for everyone, but not for me
Oh it's a dirty old shame that all you get from love is a love song
It's gotcha layin up nights waiting for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song
Because the best love song is writing with a broken heart
Oh it's a dirty old shame that all you get from love is a love song
It's gotcha layin up nights waiting for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song
Because the best love song is writing with a broken heart
Oh it's a dirty old shame that all you get from love is a love song
It's gotcha layin up nights waiting for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song
In these lyrics, M.Street is expressing the bitter and painful experience of love. The opening lines describe the feeling of being lost and directionless in a relationship, comparing it to sailing on a ship going nowhere. Love overwhelms the heart like a gentle ocean breeze, but as time passes, the singer realizes that they are slowly losing their grip on the love that once consumed them. It is as if their love has been washed away by the drifting tide, leaving them feeling abandoned and empty.
The chorus suggests that love often brings disappointment and heartache. The singer laments that all they receive from love is a mere love song, which doesn't bring any tangible comfort or resolution. Love leaves them laying awake at night, waiting for something magical to happen, but it never does. They feel consumed by the pain and frustration of taking the blame for the failure of their love, which becomes even more devastating when they realize that the best love songs are often born out of a broken heart. It is a tragic irony that the most heartfelt and genuine love songs are often written from a place of deep emotional pain and heartbreak.
Moving forward, the lyrics convey a sense of despair and hopelessness. The tears in the singer's eyes blind them to the possibilities of the future. They cannot see the potential brightness that tomorrow may bring, as they feel forsaken and left in darkness. The sun rises every day, bringing light to the world for everyone else, but it seems to elude the singer. This further emphasizes their sense of isolation and the contrast between their own reality and the rest of the world.
Overall, these lyrics convey a sense of disillusionment and sorrow regarding love. The singer feels let down by the promises of love, as it brings more pain than joy. They long for a love that is real and authentic, rather than the superficiality of a love song. It is a lament for the inevitable heartbreak that accompanies love and the harsh reality of having to take responsibility for its failure. Despite the somber tone, the lyrics capture the complexity and emotional depth of love, highlighting the poetic nature of writing about it from a broken heart.
