Fear of Love
Noosa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They're moving every way
The currents getting stronger
We're gonna drown some day
If we don't
Settle down
500 words on paper
To tell you that I'm here
Until I hear you say I'm yours
But your heart is armed
Fear of love
Mirrors in the moonlight
Fear of love
Mirrors in the moonlight
Fear of love
Mirrors in the moonlight
You see yourself in every one who crosses your path
But i cant tell you enough
That's not who they are deep inside
Will you let it go
I'll wait for you as long as
It takes for you to see
It seems the devil's got a
Piece of your heart
And you cant see
That your beautiful
Fear of love
Mirrors in the moonlight
Fear of love
Mirrors in the moonlight
Fear of love
Mirrors in the moonlight
In "Fear of Love" by Noosa, we are presented with a vivid metaphor about the dangers of relationships when we are not emotionally prepared. The song begins by talking about the unpredictability and roughness of the oceans, and how our fear of love can be like drowning in those tumultuous waters. The singer tells their lover that they are never leaving, but they need the other person to acknowledge their connection in order for them to have a chance at a real and lasting relationship.
The second verse brings up the idea of projection - seeing ourselves in others and assuming that they are as afraid of commitment as we are. The singer recognizes this tendency in their partner, but assures them that they don't have to be afraid anymore. The final lines of the song speak to the devil having a hold on the partner's heart, but despite the darkness and fear, the singer finds their partner to be incredibly beautiful.
Overall, "Fear of Love" is a song about the fear of commitment and the way it can prevent us from truly connecting with others. The metaphor of drowning in the ocean underscores the real danger that surrounds us when we let our fears and insecurities guide our relationships. The message of the song is ultimately an optimistic one, though - the singer is willing to wait for their partner and believes that they are worth the effort it takes to overcome fear and find a way to love.
