First Love
Mick Boogie & Adele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Despite my empty mouth the words are in my mind
Please wear the face, the one where you smile
Because you lighten up my heart when I start to cry
Forgive me first love, but I'm tired
I need to get away to feel again
Try to understand why
Please wipe that look out of your eyes
It's bribing me to doubt myself
Simply, it's tiring
This love has dried up and stayed behind
And if I stay I'll be a lie
Then choke on words I'd always hide
Excuse me first love, but we're through
I need to taste the kiss from someone new
Forgive me first love, but I'm too tired
I'm bored to say the least and I, I lack desire
Forgive me first love, forgive me first love
Forgive me first love, forgive me first love
Forgive me, forgive me first love
Forgive me first love
The lyrics of Mick Boogie & Adele's song "First Love" speak about a relationship that has run its course. The singer, who is presumably Adele, acknowledges that there is so much to say but not enough time to say it. She admits that despite having a lot on her mind, she finds it hard to express herself verbally. However, she implores her first love to wear the face that makes them smile because it has the power to uplift her even in her moments of despair.
Nonetheless, she asks for forgiveness for being tired and needing to get away to feel again. The singer seems to be experiencing a lack of passion and desire in her relationship. The look in her first love's eyes makes her doubting herself and what they have. The love has dried up and staying will mean living a lie and choking on the words she chooses to hide. Adele informs her first love that she's through with the relationship and needs to move on to something new.
Overall, "First Love" portrays a sense of being bogged down in a stagnant relationship that has lost its spark. The singer recognizes the need to acknowledge the truth of how she feels and make a clean break for the sake of everyone involved. The song captures the universal experience of first love, the need to move on and find something that makes one feel alive again.

"They say you don’t know what you got til its gone
Girls know what I got because I’m on
Up up on, TV on every single minute
Probably why they up on my business
Wished you would finish
Spreading all these stupid little rumors, flipped the ball around like ?Emmet?
It’s probably why I felt like we should end it
And the other dude in your top friends list
Now im sitting in the dark like incense
We never should’ve took it as a friendship
But I was sold from the very first French kiss
?Ooh it felt nothing like grinches?
Now we warring like soldiers in the trenches
They say love is a game of inches
And that’s why my mind’s so relentless
First love gone now I’m alone because of kinship"
Still confused about some parts of the lyrics, if anyone can help me out with that I'll appreciate it and edson would too :D
