Perfume
Robin Mark Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Touched by a wondrous love
Cradled in arms so strong
Before the world began
Before the stars were spun
Radiant beauty, how You have stolen me
My love is a perfume I pour at Your feet

What love is this, beckons me in
Drenches my heart in wine
I can but forsake all other loves
Now I am Yours and You are mine
Radiant beauty, how You have stolen me
My love is a perfume I pour at Your feet





My love is a perfume I pour at Your feet

Overall Meaning

The first two lines of Robin Mark's song "Perfume" describe a feeling of being embraced by a strong and wondrous love. This could refer to the love of a significant other, a family member, or even a spiritual love for a higher power. The next two lines take us even further back, before the existence of the world itself. This could be interpreted in a few different ways. It could refer to the idea that love has always been present, even before the physical world came into existence. This could also refer to the idea of a predestination or divine plan, with the love being a part of that plan. Whatever the interpretation, the idea of love existing before anything else emphasizes the importance and power of this love.


The next two lines of the song continue the poetic and romantic language, with the singer describing themselves as being "stolen" by radiant beauty. The last two lines, "My love is a perfume I pour at Your feet," are a metaphorical expression of love and devotion. Perfume is often associated with a sweet fragrance and beauty, and here it represents the singer's love. Pouring the perfume at someone's feet is a sign of respect and submission, which further emphasizes the deep devotion that the singer has for their love.
