Sweet Love
Moonchild Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Picking pieces of the happy from our past
And filling in between (Filling in between)
With some bullshit like it wasn't that bad
They told me not to see ya (Don't you go seeing him)
But I never settled on an excuse
Oh, what a blessing it was (As it turns out)
So I wanna thank you (Thank you)
'Cause if it was up to me
I'd still be giving you that sweet love
So I wanna thank you (Thank you)
'Cause you gave me back the key
To that sweet love
You had me stepping softly
While roses were flowing from my heart
The fire under your feet
Had me pulling every petal apart
(He loves me, he loves me not)
Now I've got roses on my window
Room in my heart
And purpose in my cup
Oh, what a blessing it was (As it turns out)
Worry and heartache is all that I gave up
So I wanna thank you (Thank you)
'Cause if it was up to me
I'd still be giving you that sweet love
So I wanna thank you (Thank you)
'Cause you gave me back the key
To that sweet love
So I wanna thank you (Thank you)
'Cause if it was up to me
I would still be giving you
That sweet, that sweet love
In Moonchild's song Sweet Love, the lyrics describe a journey of self-reflection following a breakup. The singer initially struggles to let go of the past and pieces together a dream of a happy relationship from the memories they shared. The singer contemplates why they were warned against seeing their ex, but ultimately realizes that it was a blessing in disguise because they were able to move on from the heartache and worry that the relationship caused. This realization serves as a moment of gratitude towards their ex, acknowledging that they gave them the key to reclaiming their own sense of self and love.
Throughout the song, the lyrics use vivid imagery to describe the singer's emotional journey. For instance, the line "The fire under your feet had me pulling every petal apart" is a clever metaphor for the singer's indecision and uncertainty about their relationship. However, as the song progresses, the lyrics shift towards positive outcomes of the breakup: "Now I've got roses on my window, room in my heart, and purpose in my cup". These lyrics demonstrate the singer's newfound sense of empowerment and self-love as they move on from their past relationship.
One interesting aspect of the song is its unique blend of genres, combining elements of jazz, neo-soul, and R&B. Additionally, Moonchild is a trio of multi-instrumentalists who frequently collaborate with other musicians to create a distinct and eclectic sound. The group has received critical acclaim for their innovative approach to music-making, with some describing their work as "future-facing jazz".
Line by Line Meaning
I was building dreams (Dreams, mm)
I was constructing beautiful hopes and aspirations in my mind
Picking pieces of the happy from our past
I was selecting moments of joy from our shared history
And filling in between (Filling in between)
And completing the gaps in between with hope and fantasy
With some bullshit like it wasn't that bad
With some lies to myself, pretending the past was not so painful
They told me not to see ya (Don't you go seeing him)
Others warned me not to be with you
But I never settled on an excuse
But I couldn't find a reason to stay away from you
Oh, what a blessing it was (As it turns out)
Now I realize how fortunate I am
You're not the man I cried to lose
You're not the person I thought I would suffer losing
So I wanna thank you (Thank you)
So I want to express gratitude to you
'Cause if it was up to me
Because if I had the choice
I'd still be giving you that sweet love
I would still be offering you my affection
You gave me back the key
You returned to me the ability to love again
To that sweet love
To that kind and gentle feeling of attachment
You had me stepping softly
You made me walk with care and caution
While roses were flowing from my heart
While I was overflowing with love and affection
The fire under your feet
The passion and energy you had
Had me pulling every petal apart
Caused me to doubt and question my feelings
(He loves me, he loves me not)
(Wondering if you loved me or not)
Now I've got roses on my window
Now I have flowers on my windowsill
Room in my heart
Space in my heart for new love
And purpose in my cup
And a sense of direction and fulfillment in my life
Worry and heartache is all that I gave up
I gave up anxiety and emotional pain
I would still be giving you
I would still be offering you
That sweet, that sweet love
That tender, loving affection
