Not in Love
Olin & the Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You might never get this chance again
So take a deep breath and hold it in
You should take a picture
Cause you might never see me again
I said take a deep breath and hold it in
Because you're not in love
You shouldn't even like this
You just like the way it looks
If this is the end, and what's done is done
Then I wont have to keep hurting anyone
So let the wind take its course over everything
You have no control when it's out of your hands
You should take a minute for it all to settle in
I said take a deep breath and hold it in
Because you're not in love
There's no way you possibly could
You shouldn't even like this
You just like the way it looks
If this is the end, and what's done is done
Then I wont have to keep hurting anyone
Let the sunlight in
You better get as much as you can
Cause you might never feel the same again
And take the wind, let it blow away everything
I said take a deep breath and hold it in
Because you're not in love
There's no way you possibly could
You shouldn't even like this
You just like the way it looks
If this is the end, and what's done is done
Then I wont have to keep hurting anyone
The song 'Not in Love' by Olin & the Moon is about a relationship that has come to an end, but one of the partners still feels a sense of attachment to the memories and feelings associated with it. The lyrics emphasize the idea of accepting the situation and letting go, even though it can be painful. The opening lines of the song urge the listener to embrace the present and appreciate the moment, because it might be the last chance to do so. The singer advises taking a picture to remember the moment, since it might not happen again.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Because you're not in love," which refers to the singer's own feelings. They acknowledge that they might be attached to the idea of being in love or the feeling of affection, rather than truly being in love with their partner. They recognize that the relationship is over and that it's time to move on, but not before taking a deep breath and accepting the truth.
The final lines of the song suggest surrendering to the natural course of events and allowing the wind to take everything away. The singer advises taking a minute to let things settle in and then allowing oneself to let go. The song ends on a bittersweet note, with the recognition that there will be other moments to cherish, even if they are different from the ones that have passed.

i actually think it's pretty sick how one tree hill takes an unknown band puts it on their show and people discover them. It just shows how many great artists are out there who aren't like known. This song didn't even play for that long and look how many ppl came here from that one episode. Another reason why I love oth. Too bad theres only a few weeks left :(
