Joy & Pain
Maze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kind that lasts forever more so you thought it would
Suddenly the things you see got you hurt so bad, so bad
How come the things that make us happy make us sad
Well it seems to me that
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Love can be bitter, love can be sweet
Sometimes devotion and sometimes deceit
The ones that you care for give you so much pain
Oh but it's alright they're both one in the same
Listen, don't it seem we go through life going up and down
Seems the things that turn you on turn you around
Always hurting each other if it ain't one thing it's another
When the world is down on you love's somewhere around
And I want you to know that
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Over and over you can be sure
There will be sorrow but you will endure (you will endure)
Where there's a flower there's the sun and the rain
Oh but it's wonderful they're both one in the same
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy
And Pain is a song by Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly that explores the duality of love, joy, and pain. The lyrics describe how love can be both bitter and sweet, and how the things that bring us happiness can also cause us immense pain. The optimism in the chorus implies that despite the challenges of love, joy and pain are inseparable and necessary to make life complete. Beverly’s voice is emotive, drawing out the conflicting emotions of the song and bringing the lyrics to life with its soft, smooth cadence.
The songwriting in this track is particularly powerful because of the dichotomy it represents. Joy is symbolized by sunshine, which represents warmth and positive energy. Similarly, pain is symbolized by rain, which represents the cold, wet, and negative emotions that come with heartbreak. The song is notable for its ability to capture a universal truth about love, which is that it is both enjoyable and excruciating. The chorus emphasizes this, stating outright that joy and pain are “both one in the same.”
One of the most fascinating aspects of this song is that it features elements from different genres like funk, soul, and gospel music. This amalgamation reflects the melting pot of sounds that was popular in the 80s. Overall, this song is a timeless classic that highlights the complexity of human emotions.
