Love in Rimini
Peter & the Magician Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've hardly ever seen you smile, so you know I won't show you mine
And if you don't love me then what are you still doing here?
Cuz' I know better know than to tell you how I feel
Might be a secret I wanna keep
Until I know
I know for certain we're playing for keeps
Love and Magic, if not bound by secrecy
Love and Magic: In Memoriam -
The love you dare to speak
I don't wanna stand in line
Yeah I know some secrets
That we've been protecting since the dawn of time
And we swore an oath to keep them locked within the
Circles of total enlightenment absolute knowledge of arcane wisdom
Under perfect execution we'll let a magic age be risen
So we'll set the stage
We stand before a magic age
To combat this tragic age
The last chance for a magic age
To make a comeback, to fight back and take back this world
These are the secrets I've sworn to keep
Until It's known
Our sworn allegiance is holding the key
And won't' let go
Cuz Love and Magic (Magic and Love) When not bound to secrecy
Love and Magic: In Memoriam
Love and Magic (Magic and Love) When not bound to secrecy
Love and Magic: In Memoriam -
The magic you dare to speak
As the world takes it's 20th pace
It can't turn around and look at the face
Of the Wild Midwest
Face to face and gun to gun with the Devil's odds at 1000 to 1
With nothing to lose still our weapons drawn It seems now that it's looking like
The world against the Wild Midwest
In this Wild Midwest, you'd find yourself hard pressed
To find a magic that's pure or find a love that is true
Out here the tumbleweeds are actually just collections of our broken dreams
And hope a mirage in the deserts of our souls
Lost and forgotten by months in the cold
In this land of half empty cups
optimism can only exist close to ocean or sea
Standing firmly surrounded by five lakes,
Persistent to find love and a magic
That is real
The lyrics of “Love in Rimini” by Peter & The Magician feature a narrator who is hesitant to be completely transparent with his lover because he is uncertain whether their feelings for each other are authentic. The singer expresses his apprehension towards putting their heart on the line before he knows for certain that they are both committed to each other. He claims that they have been harboring secrets that they have sworn to keep, and that engaging in true love and magic will require them to break their vows of secrecy. The lyrics express a sense of uncertainty about the authenticity of the love between the singer and his partner, and the importance of vows of secrecy to several kinds of magical practices.
The lyrics “Love and Magic, if not bound by secrecy / Love and Magic: In Memoriam - / The love you dare to speak” align love and magic and suggest that they hold power when kept a secret. However, in doing so, they also create a sense of loss because the love that remains silent can never be truly fulfilled to its full potential. The lyrics also suggest a sense of urgency towards uniting love and magic and using them to make the world a better place. In the final section of the song, the lyrics express a sense of hopelessness and despair towards finding love and magic in a world that seems to have lost its magic. Los Angeles-based duo Peter & The Magician produced this song, which carries hints of early Daft Punk, for Kitsuné Maison 11.

Love and Magic (Magic and Love) When not bound to secrecy
Love and Magic: In Memoriam -
The magic you dare to speak
Sometimes, love and magic are best when shared openly and without reservation. When two people are brave enough to take that step, the results can be truly magical
As the world takes it's 20th pace
It can't turn around and look at the face
Of the Wild Midwest
We live in a fast-paced world, one that doesn't always pause to take stock of where we are or what we're doing
Face to face and gun to gun with the Devil's odds at 1000 to 1
With nothing to lose still our weapons drawn It seems now that it's looking like
The world against the Wild Midwest
The world can be a harsh and unforgiving place. But even when the odds seem impossible, there is still hope. We just have to fight for it together
In this Wild Midwest, you'd find yourself hard pressed
To find a magic that's pure or find a love that is true
Out here the tumbleweeds are actually just collections of our broken dreams
And hope a mirage in the deserts of our souls
Lost and forgotten by months in the cold
Sometimes, it can feel like finding real magic or true love is impossible. We struggle with loneliness and despair, and it can be hard to remember that there is still hope out there
In this land of half empty cups
optimism can only exist close to ocean or sea
Standing firmly surrounded by five lakes,
Persistent to find love and a magic
That is real
Despite the odds, we can still find magic and love if we look hard enough. We just have to stay hopeful and keep searching
