CRAZY LOVE
Pete and Mike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before the seventh war,
They used to have a thing that they called love,
That we don't have any more.
I don't know the feeling,
But I'm told it was an evil thing,
It used to make you crazy and fall down,
No one knows what it could bring.
Love makes you crazy,
Love makes you cry,
Love made them crazy in days gone by.
Love makes you crazy,
That's what they say,
Love made them crazy in the olden days.
It must have seized the body and the mind
Like a strong disease,
Another plague that science has erased
Even from the memory.
Or maybe evolution wiped it out
So just the strong survived,
And no-one with that feeling could exist
In the race to stay alive.
Love makes you crazy,
Love makes you cry,
Love made them crazy in days gone by.
Love makes you crazy,
That's what they say,
Love made them crazy in the olden days.
Love makes you crazy,
Love makes you cry,
Love made them crazy in days gone by.
Love makes you crazy,
That's what they say,
Love made them crazy in the olden days.
The lyrics to Pete and Mike's song "Crazy Love" explore the concept of love in the past and present, and how it has changed over time. The first verse refers to a time before the "seventh war" (which is not specified but could be interpreted as a reference to World War II or another major conflict), when love was considered an "evil thing" that could make people crazy and fall down. The singer admits to not knowing the feeling, but wonders what it could bring.
The second verse speculates on why love might no longer exist as a "disease" or "plague" that has been erased by science or evolution. The idea is that perhaps love was a weakness that prevented people from surviving in a competitive world. The chorus repeats the idea that love "makes you crazy" and "makes you cry," which seems to be a universal truth regardless of the time period.
Overall, the song suggests that love is a complicated emotion that has changed over time but still has the power to drive people crazy. The lyrics are thought-provoking and invite the listener to ponder the nature of love and its role in human history.
