Not in Love
Olin and 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 and the Moon is a melancholic ballad about a relationship that has come to an end, but one partner is struggling to accept it. The lyrics are full of resignation and acceptance, but also sadness and regret. The song is an expression of the conflicting emotions one feels when a relationship is over but the love is still there.
The opening lines, "Let the sunlight in, you might never get this chance again, so take a deep breath and hold it in," suggest that the singer is trying to enjoy the moment before everything changes. They know deep down that their relationship is over, but they want to savor the moment and hold onto the memories. The lines "you should take a picture, cause you might never see me again" show how the chorus is trying to immortalize the moment.
The chorus, "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," is a melancholic reminder that the relationship is over and that there's no going back. The singer is trying to convince themselves that they're not in love and that they never were, but deep down they know that this is not true. The line "If this is the end, and what's done is done, then I won't have to keep hurting anyone" suggests that the singer is trying to withdraw from the relationship because they don't want to cause any more pain.
Overall, "Not In Love" is a bittersweet song about the end of a relationship and the struggle to accept it. The melancholic lyrics and the haunting melody make it a beautiful, but haunting, song.

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 :(
