Cycle of Love
Orange and Lemons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But doesn't everyone everyday do so
Oneway or another
Like a person
Crossing the streets on a red light
You chose the path that leads
To my door
Im not doing anything dont blame me
What is wrong, what is wrong
With this cycle?
What you are is like the rain i say
As spontaneous as the earth
You stir me
Being fool to fancy
Im a person
Crossing the streets at random
I found a path that leads
To your door
Your not doing anything
So blame me
You hate the rain but tell me
What is wrong, what is rong
With this cycle?
Cycle of love
The song "Cycle of Love" by Orange and Lemons talks about the risks people take in love. The first verse suggests that taking risks is part of human nature, just like crossing the street on a red light. The second verse describes the spontaneity of love, likening it to rain, which can be unpredictable and refreshing at the same time. The chorus states that there is a cycle of love happening between the two people in the song, and the rain and risk-taking are just part of that cycle.
The lines "You hate the rain so tell me, What is wrong, what is wrong, With this cycle?" may suggest that the rain symbolizes tough times in a relationship, but the cycle continues despite these difficulties. The second verse also hints at the possibility of unrequited love, as the singer is a "fool to fancy" and has "found a path that leads to your door". The line "You're not doing anything, so blame me" may imply that one person is taking the lead in the relationship, while the other is passive.
Overall, the song captures the ups and downs of a romantic relationship, and how the cycle of love can sometimes bring rain and risk along with it, but continues nonetheless.
