Oh My Love
Martin Gore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My eyes are wide open
Oh my love for the first time in my life
My eyes can see
I see the wind
Oh, I see the trees
Everything is clear in my heart
Oh, I see the sky
Everything is clear in our world
Oh my love for the first time in my life
My mind is wide open
Oh my lover for the first time in my life
My mind can feel
I feel the sorrow
Oh, I feel dreams
Everything is clear in my heart
I feel life
Oh, I feel love
Everything is clear in our world
Oh My Love by Martin Gore is a song about experiencing life from a new perspective - with a clear heart and an open mind. The song speaks of how the singer's eyes are wide open for the first time, and he can see everything clearly. This newfound clarity allows him to observe the wind, the trees, the clouds and the sky, and he declares that everything is clear in his heart, and by extension, in the world around him.
The lyrics then move on to speak about the mind being open, and the singer can feel everything around him for the first time. He feels sorrow and dreams, all of which are clear in his heart. And finally, he feels life and love, and once again declares that everything is clear in the world.
The imagery in the lyrics is beautiful, and the way the singer speaks about everything being clear in his heart and the world around him suggests a sense of peace and contentment that can come with newfound awareness. The song is a reminder to appreciate the beauty all around us and to not take anything for granted.
