Diana
Nutini Paolo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drowning in you. Askin' nothin', takin'
Do you believe in passion and romance?
Destined to be within us and around us?

Diana, she loves me
No innocence or compromise
Diana, she loves me
The only way she knows

When the soul's in flight, you set your body free
And all of your lighted lessons, in all it's fantasies
And as a shiver reverts the tension
From an materialized dementia

The make belief, our liberty
You offer some love, swifts and chains
Never change you for all the dames
I stand for you, you open up the me
She said she wanted both of us to go
And she won't give up for nothing

Diana, she loves me
No innocence or compromise
Diana, she loves me
The only way she knows

Diana, she loves me
No innocence or compromise




Diana, she loves me
The only way she knows

Overall Meaning

In Nutini Paolo's song Diana, the singer finds himself engulfed in his love for Diana. He compares his love to drowning, stating that he is taking all that he can from her without asking for anything in return. He then questions if she believes in passion and romance that is destined to surround them. Diana is depicted as a woman who loves unapologetically and without any compromises or innocence. She loves in the only way she knows how, without holding back or conforming to societal norms.


The lyrics continue to portray how Diana's love sets his soul free and lifts him from the harsh realities of life. Everything around him seems to bow to their love and he learns valuable lessons from their fantasies. As their relationship grows, it becomes evident that Diana offers him the freedom to be himself, and she does not try to change him for any other woman. The singer is grateful for this love and pledges to stand by her.


It is clear that Diana reciprocates the singer's feelings and is committed to their relationship. She desires to spend her life with him and will not give up on their love for anything. The song ends with a repetition of how Diana loves him without any compromise or innocence.

Just heard this song and I'm in love!!!! His sound is a cross between Remy Shand, Terrance Trent D'Arby and Daly. The Caustic Love album is a hidden gem!!!

@niasonani4893

Running to see who’s Rémy Shand I am sure he is going to be another super artist “on my music list ” if you relate him to Nutini
Thanks 🤩
