Not in Love
Morningshow: Crystal Castles ft Robert Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won't give you my heart
No one lives there anymore
And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends
Fascination ends
Here we go again
'Cause it's cold outside, when you coming home
I'm not in love
Could it be that time has taken it's toll
Won't take you so far, I am in control
And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends
Fascination ends
Here we go again
'Cause it's cold outside, when you coming home
'Cause it's hot inside, isn't that enough
I'm not in love
I'm not
And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends
Fascination ends
Here we go again
'Cause it's cold outside, when you coming home
'Cause it's hot inside, isn't that enough
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
The song "Not in Love" by Crystal Castles ft Robert Smith is a hauntingly beautiful track that speaks to the idea of two people who were once in love, but now find themselves unable to be anything but distant acquaintances. The opening lines paint a picture of the past - a picture of a lover who used to be a constant presence, but who is now nothing but a memory. The singer is resolute in their decision to move on and not allow themselves to fall back into old patterns with this person. Despite the coldness of their resolve, however, there is still a sense of longing and desire for that companionship, even as they acknowledge that the fascination has ended.
The chorus is a poignant repetition of the singer's insistence that they are not in love. The lines "Could it be that time has taken its toll / Won't take you so far, I am in control" speaks to the idea of growing older and realizing that time has changed things. The singer is no longer blinded by the all-consuming passion of young love, and has learned to take control of their own emotions. The repetition of the phrase "we are not in love" over and over again drives home the point that this is a relationship that has run its course, and the two people involved are no longer able to be together in the way they once were.
Line by Line Meaning
I saw your picture hangin' on the back of my door
I noticed a photograph of you which I had tacked on the rear of my door
Won't give you my heart
I refuse to give you my affection
No one lives there anymore
My heart is unoccupied
And we were lovers
We once had intimacy
Now we can't be friends
Our relationship can no longer be platonic
Fascination ends
The allure and attraction has dissipated
Here we go again
We're revisiting this cycle
'Cause it's cold outside, when you coming home
It's chilly externally - when are you returning?
'Cause it's hot inside, isn't that enough
It's warm indoors - isn't that fulfilling?
I'm not in love
I don't feel romantic love
Could it be that time has taken it's toll
Perhaps the passing of time has affected the relationship
Won't take you so far, I am in control
I cannot allow this connection to go too far as I am the one in charge
We are not in love
Our relationship does not involve love

This is the problem with shorts, you don't get the full picture and so therefore lack context. I believe she is breaking up a fight and so that's what she is referring too.
@nnndddzzz1
The point was not to understand what she was talking about but something else😏😏
@sauloegito2
I agree that shorts are a problem indeed. I prefer to imagine life and vids without them.
