Passion
Roosevelt Nile Rodgers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your heart was on the line
Heard you're leaving town
If we only had the time
Give me the feel of something new
All it that it takes for us to carry on
Send me your light to make it through
Where's your passion?
It's just about time to let it go
Open your eyes
Passion
There's something in you I gotta know
Just realize
Ooh
Your love will keep us going strong
So I won't ever lose my passion
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
I was all run down
your heart was on the line
Heard you're leaving town
If we only had the time
Give me the feel of something new
All it that it takes for us to carry on
Send me your light to make it through
It's been fading for too long
Where's your passion?
It's just about time to let it go
Open your eyes
Passion
There's something in you I gotta know
Just realize
Ooh
Your love will keep us going strong
So I won't ever lose my passion
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Passion
It's just about time to let it go
Passion
There's something in you I gotta know
Passion
It's just about time to let it go
Passion
There's something in you I gotta know
In Roosevelt Nile Rodgers's song "Passion," the lyrics convey a sense of urgency and longing for a relationship that is on the brink of ending. The singer communicates their exhaustion and weariness, feeling drained and run down. They reveal that the other person's heart is at stake, suggesting that there are unresolved emotions and issues between them. The news of the other person leaving town adds a sense of time constraint – a realization that if they had more time, they could potentially salvage their connection.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of passion in their relationship. The singer implores the other person to let go of whatever is holding them back and to open their eyes to the potential they still have together. The word "passion" is repeated throughout, serving as a reminder of the essential element that can reignite their love and keep them going strong.
Overall, the lyrics of "Passion" speak to the longing for connection, the desperate desire to revive a fading love, and the belief that by reigniting their passion, they can overcome any obstacles in their relationship.
