Destiny of Love
Secret Service Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was just before the sunsire
And I close my eyes again
I saw you smiling

I remember we were dancing
In the silence of the rain
And you were smiling
Nothing's what it seems
Moment from a dream
The destiny of love
The destiny of love

We were standing in the twilight
Just waiting for the sign
And there was silence

In the fasion of that moment
In the tension of that night
There was silence

Nothing's what it seems
Moment from a dream




The destiny of love
The destiny of love.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Secret Service's song "Destiny of Love" depict a wistful reminiscence of a past love. The song's narrator seems to be lost in thought as he describes an encounter with someone who made him incredibly happy, using a dream-like quality to describe the experience as feeling "moment from a dream". The song suggests that this moment in time was of immense importance to him, almost as if it was predestined, "the destiny of love".


The imagery in the first verse is especially poignant in painting a picture of their interaction. The mention of the sunrise and smiling create a sense of warmth and happiness. The following verse stands in sharp contrast - the silence and tension described here intensifies the emotion of the song, indicating that the singer's feelings were short-lived or unrequited, leading to a sense of loss and nostalgia.


The song seems to suggest that sometimes, love can be fleeting and unexpected. The memory of this powerful connection still lives on, however, in the singer's mind. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing that speaks to the human condition of wanting what cannot be had. This theme, coupled with the steady beat and synthesizer-driven melody, makes for a hauntingly beautiful '80s ballad.

Это случилось как раз перед рассветом,
И я снова закрывал глаза
И видел, как ты улыбаешься.
Я помню, как мы танцевали
В тишине дождя
И ты улыбалась...

Всё не так, как кажется
Мгновение из сна
Судьба любви
Судьба любви

Мы стояли в сумерках
И ждали знака...
И была тишина
В совпадении того мгновения,
В напряжённости той ночи
Была тишина.

Всё не так, как кажется
Мгновение из сна
Судьба любви
Судьба любви
