She Calls This Love
Reece Mastin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But still I wanna feel you,
You lie through bloodshot eyes, so weak,
But you know that I can see the truth
And every day's a war,
Keeping me blind, but keep in mind,
I see what lives inside these walls,
We used to be.
She calls this love, and I call it torture,
I don't know why I waste my time writing this song for her,
We played this game, until I finally lost,
I've learned from my mistakes, traded tragedy with grace,
But for what cost?
She calls this love.
Quit twisting my words to make me feel wrong,
And causing all this heartache,
And I can't do this any more,
It's gone now, it's time to wake.
And every day's a war,
I'm so sick and tired of the tears we cry,
You see, what are we fighting for?
We're fueling the fire of this sick desire,
Set me free, set me free.
She calls this love, and I call it torture,
I don't know why I waste my time writing this song for her,
We played this game, until I finally lost,
I've learned from my mistakes, traded tragedy with grace,
But for what cost?
She calls this love.
"Fine then, you want me to leave?
Then we're over!"
She calls this love, and I call it torture,
(I call it torture)
I don't know why I waste my time writing this song for her,
We played this game, until I finally lost,
(Woah, oh oh)
I've learned from my mistakes, traded tragedy with grace,
But for what cost?
She calls this love.
In the lyrics of Reece Mastin's song "She Calls This Love," he describes a relationship that is dysfunctional and painful. Despite their constant fighting and tears, he still wants to feel connected to the other person. He sees through her lies and bloodshot eyes, but he can also see the deterioration of their relationship. He questions their purpose and wonders if they are fueling a sick desire, rather than truly loving each other. He pleads to be set free and finally decides to leave, even if it means it's over.
The song conveys the raw emotions of someone caught in an unhealthy relationship, uncertain of how to escape. As the title suggests, what one person might see as love, another might see as torture. The repetition of the phrase "she calls this love" emphasizes the disconnect between the two perspectives. It's a reminder that love is complicated and varies from person to person.
Overall, "She Calls This Love" is a powerful expression of the complexities of love and human relationships. It's a heart-wrenching reminder that sometimes, even though we want things to work out, it's best to let them go.
