Love Is Death
Savage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The night-owl shouts
Bringin' back your fears
Nothin' dumb about
What you're doin' here
Feelin' like a stone
Cryin' to the wind
Far away from home
Far away from tears.

Everybody knew
She never really cared
Everybody said
She's a dreamer's girl
Caught you with her words
You never really heard
Sayin' no goodbyes
When she changed her mind.

Love is death
Like a movie to me
Love is death
To me.

Nothin' you can say
Nothin' you can do
She don't wanna know
She's the only one
Living in a film
Dreams in black and white
Colours in the night
Where she's really gone.

Love is death
Like a movie to me




Love is death
To me.

Overall Meaning

In "Love Is Death," Savage sings about a woman who is trapped in her own world of fantasies and incapable of maintaining a real relationship. The lyrics convey the yearnings of someone who is infatuated with this woman despite knowing that she's not interested in reciprocating love. Savage sings about the emotional distance he feels as he's haunted by his beloved's fear-inducing screams. He expresses the emptiness he feels as he stands in the vastness of the night sky, crying to the wind for solace.


Savage further expounds on how his beloved's superficiality caused her to have a reputation for being a dreamer's girl, someone who's all talk but no action. The singer is conflicted as he recalls how he was simply captured by her words and never truly heard her until it was too late. He reels in confusion as she makes decisions to walk away while refusing to say her goodbyes. Savage believes that Love is just like death, something that is tragic and final, yet ironically captivating.
