Liquid Love
Shy Child Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We worked it out
Now we are home
Now angels sing for me,
When Im alone.

You make me cry,
You make me sing,
You make me love you with,

start remembering that.

Love is this sweetest feeling,
That we know and
Love is the only thing that will let you go,
Where u wanna go.

You hold my heart,
Right in your hands,
As we travel through thi ...s,
Foreign land.

We worship soul music,
We sing forever,
All of this broken people,
In this together singing that.

Love is this sweetest feeling,
That we know and
Love is the only thing that will let you go,
Where u wanna go.

To her heart,
To her hands,
To your love

Love is this sweetest feeling,
That we know and

Love is the only thing that will let you go,
Where u wanna go.

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Shy Child's song, Liquid Love, speak of the resolution of a conflict. The singer and their partner have "worked it out" and they are "home" now. This is a moment of celebration, marked by the singing of angels. However, there is a sense of sadness or loneliness that persists even in moments of joy. The angels only sing for the singer when they are alone, suggesting that the love they share with their partner is not enough to dispel all their insecurities and fears.

The next verse shifts to a declaration of love and its transformative power. The singer's partner makes them cry, sing, and love in ways that they had forgotten. These lines hint at the healing power of love, how it can awaken parts of our selves that we had long buried. The chorus speaks of love as an all-encompassing force that can take us where we want to go. It is the "sweetest feeling" that we know, but it is also the only thing that can set us free.

The final verse speaks of the vulnerability that comes with love. The singer's heart is held in their partner's hands, and together they traverse a "foreign land." This could be a metaphor for the uncertainty and unpredictability that comes with any relationship. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, reinforcing its message that love is a powerful and transformative force that can take us where we want to go.

The shit that I taught
Don’t take it to heart
I’m only playing with you

To tell you the truth
When I look at the world
I’m in shock and awe

From the moon to the water
I can’t ask for more
From the joy to the sorrow
I can’t ask for more
From the kids to the music
I can’t ask for more

Give them something to believe in
They give you any reason at all

Pleasure and pain
Sometimes feels the same
So, I turned off my mind
My life is flashing before my eyes x 2

Loving it all
But The Smiths ain’t it all
It’s my method of choice
To stay and contain
To challenge myself
To hold my coma[?] down

You can’t stop evolving
And I can’t complain
And we can’t stop becoming
And I can’t complain
And conditions are changing
And I can’t complain
Of generation running for the heavenly connection to it all

Pleasure and pain
Sometimes feels the same
So, I turned off my mind
My life is flashing before my eyes

I love this song! I did notice the intro is really similar to the intro for Fleetwood Mac's song Little Lies, mixed with the intro to their song Everywhere. Interesting! At the very least, it has the intro for Little Lies. I love it!
