World Without Love
Peter And Gordon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
And rain clouds hide the moon
I'm okay, here I'll stay
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love's smile
She may come, I know not when
When she does I lose
So baby until then
Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love's smile
She may come, I know not when
When she does I lose
So baby until then
Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
The lyrics to Peter And Gordon's song "World Without Love" describe the feeling of loneliness and the desire for love. The singer of the song begs to be locked away, as he cannot handle being alone in a world where love does not exist. He claims that he is fine with his own company, but the world around him, including the birds singing out of tune and the rain clouds hiding the moon, reminds him of his loneliness. The lyrics express the longing for his true love to come, although he is unsure of when he will see her smile. He is willing to wait for her because when he finds her, he will lose himself in her love.
The song is written in a simple, straightforward manner, with no complex metaphors, but its message is clear and relatable. The lyrics tap into a universal human experience of wanting love and companionship. The song's melody and arrangement, as well as the vocal harmonies between Peter and Gordon, add to the emotional depth of the lyrics, making "World Without Love" an enduring hit.
