My Liefde Sal Jy Nooit Verstaan Nie
Ray Dylan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I used to believe
We were burning on the edge of something beautiful
Something beautiful
Selling a dream
Smoke and mirrors keep us waiting on a miracle
On a miracle
Say, go through the darkest of days
Heaven's a heartbreak away

Never let you go, never let me down
Oh, it's been a hell of a ride
Driving the edge of a knife
Never let you go, never let me down
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
Oh, baby, baby
Don't fall asleep
At the wheel, we've got a million miles ahead of us
Miles ahead of us
All that we need
Is a rude awakening to know we're good enough
Know we're good enough
Say, go through the darkest of days
Heaven's a heartbreak away
Never let you go, never let me down
Oh, it's been a hell of a ride
Driving the edge of a knife
Never let you go, never let me down
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
Oh, baby, baby
Never let you go, never let you down, girl
Never let you go, never let you down, girl
Never let you go (whoa)
Girl, never let you go (wooh)
Never let you go, never let you down, girl
Never let you go... (Oh, nah-nah-nah-nah)
Never let you go
Yeah, yeah (girl, never let you go)
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you

Let me love you
(end)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ray Dylan's song "My Liefde Sal Jy Nooit Verstaan Nie" (translated to "My Love You Will Never Understand") are not related to the Justin Bieber song with a similar title. This song is about the complexities of love and the rollercoaster ride that comes with it. The lyrics speak of the singer's belief that they were once on the brink of something beautiful, but that this vision turned out to be nothing but a dream. The use of "smoke and mirrors" points to the idea that the singer and their love interest have been fooled by a false reality and must now wait for a miracle. However, the lyrics encourage them to continue through the "darkest of days" because heaven is only a "heartbreak away." The line "driving the edge of a knife" suggests that their relationship is a risky maneuver that requires care and attention to keep it going. They ask their love interest not to give up and to let them love them.

The lyricist behind this song has tapped into the human emotions of love, disappointment, and uncertainty. They have created a tale of heartbreak and hope that many people can relate to. The suggestion is that love is a journey that comes with its ups and downs, and it is important to keep the faith, even in the darkest of days. The singer suggests that they will never let their love interest down, which is a reassuring promise, but also an admission that things won't always be smooth sailing.
