Wire To Wire
Razorlight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A sin you swallow for the rest of your life?
You've been looking for someone to believe in
To love you until your eyes run dry
She lives by disillusion glow
We go where the wild blood flows
On our bodies we share the same scar
How do you love with a fate full of rust?
How do you turn what the savage tame?
You've been looking for someone you can trust
To love you, again and again
How do you love in a house without feelings?
How do you turn what the savage tame?
I've been looking for someone to believe in
Love me, again and again
She lives by disillusion's glow
We go where the wild blood flows
On our bodies we share the same scar
How do you love on a night without feelings?
She says, love, I hear sound, I see fury
She says, love's not a hostile condition
Love me, wherever you are
Love me, wherever you are
Love me, wherever you are
Wherever you are
The song Wire To Wire by Razorlight seems to explore the complex and often bewildering nature of love. The lyrics start by questioning the definition of love and implying that it can be a burden or a sin. However, the singer is hopeful of finding someone to love them until the end.
The chorus is especially emotional, as he sings about sharing a scar with his partner and how it brings them together. The lyrics suggest that scars symbolize the hardships they have faced but also represent the love that has grown between them.
The second verse again presents the question of how to love under difficult circumstances, including in a house devoid of feelings and within a fate that seems to be deteriorating. Despite this, the singer is still seeking someone to trust and love him repeatedly.
The final verse is another example of how love can be chaotic and unexpected. The singer's partner states that she senses sound and fury in love but argues that it is not hostile. She too wants to be loved no matter where they are.
Overall, the song offers a glimpse into the many facets of love – from its complexities to its joys and challenges.

What is love but a strangest of feelings?
A sin you swallow for the rest of your life
You've been looking for someone to believe in
To love you, until your eyes run dry
She lives on disillusion's glow
We go where the wild blood flows
On our bodies we share the same scar

Me.. sitting beside the most wonderful woman in the world. truly stunning.
Lashaun, what is life without you? Every day is the hardest struggle of my life. Everyday is like that same terrible day over and over. But through all the tears I shed there comes a smile because I know you are doing the most wonderful things in the highest of places as you continue your eternal journey. You can rest now my love knowing you brought so much joy and love to the people you met. Your time here is complete. I'm told that time will ease the pain but nothing will bring you back and that will never change for me. Until I'm with you again in spirit I will keep carrying you with me in my heart. I will be strong for you until my final breath and I can finally rest beside you. Eternally Yours
I love you jellybean,
Stephen
