No words
On On On Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And end up giving nothing
I'm not surprised, that your black eyes are gazing
You say that love is everything
And what we need the most of
I wish you knew, that's just how true my love was
You're burning love, sweet burning love
It's deep inside,
You mustn't hide, your burning love
Sweet burning love, your burning love
You want to turn your head away
And someone's thinking of you
I wish you'd see, it's only me, I love you
No words for my love
The lyrics to On On On's song "No Words" speak of a classic case of unrequited love. The singer in the song is in love with someone who seems to be more interested in giving love away than receiving it. The first lines of the song set the tone for this unrequited love, as the singer observes that the object of their affection wants to "give [their] love away," but ends up "giving nothing." The singer is not surprised by this, as they note that the other person's "black eyes are gazing," indicating that they are not truly present or engaged in the situation.
Despite the fact that the object of the singer's affection seems more interested in giving love away than receiving it, they still insist that "love is everything" and "what we need the most of." The singer wishes that the other person could see that their love is true, but unfortunately, there are "no words" that can adequately express the depth of their feelings.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "sweet burning love" and reminds the listener that the love in question is not just a passing infatuation, but something that burns deep inside and must not be hidden away.
In summary, "No Words" is a bittersweet song about unrequited love and the frustration that can come from loving someone who doesn't seem to fully understand or appreciate your feelings.
