Could This Be Love
Seduction Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Staring through the windows of time
Drying off the last year of our bind
Was it real or just a mirage
Love has it's way of making you blind
I stared deep into your heart and your soul
And I feel what any woman would want
Why did I run? Why did I hide?
Because the memories bleed on and on

Time goes on and the feelings stay strong
Memories laugh and play with my heart
Like thunder in a rainstorm

Tell me is this real or just a mirage
I ask myself

Could this be love
Or just a memory
Of the two of us together
Lifetime friends forever
You and me a unity
Of friendship and love

As we moved our separate ways that day
Tears ran down my face
And I asked myself
Was I just too weak to face the truth
That love is what I have for you
You're someone special deep down inside
Your love is true, why did I hide?
Why did I run? Why did I hide?
Because the memories bleed on and on

Time goes on and the feeling stays strong
This word called love- are you the one? That I want
Tell me is this real or just a mirage
I ask myself
Could this be love
Or just a memory
Of the two of us together
Lifetime friends forever




You and me a unity
Of friendship and love

Overall Meaning

The song "Could This Be Love" by Seduction is about the struggles of hindsight and regret when it comes to a past relationship. The lyrics explore the question of whether the love that was once shared between two people was real or merely a figment of their imagination. The singer reflects on how love has a way of blinding you to reality and causing memories to linger long after a relationship has ended. She wonders why she ran away and hid from her feelings, especially when she saw how special and true the love of her partner was. The song ultimately begs the question of whether or not the love that existed in the past is still present and if it can ever be rekindled, or if it is just a memory that is better left buried in the past.


The chorus of the song repeats the question "Could this be love, or just a memory?" which invites the listener to reflect on their own past relationships and the powerful role that memories and hindsight play in the way we view them. The lyrics also use powerful imagery, such as the thunder in a rainstorm, to convey the intensity of the emotions that the singer is experiencing as she grapples with these questions. The song is melancholy and full of longing, reflecting the painful process of trying to come to terms with a love that has gone awry.
