Gimme Love
Sleater-Kinney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never enough
Gimme love, gimme love
Never enough
Gimme love, gimme love
Never enough
Gimme love, gimme love
Never enough
My hands reached out to touch the earth
I'm too small to reach to it
I can't quite reach the thing I want
All I touch is just dirt
Gimme love, gimme love
Never enough
Gimme love, gimme love
Never enough
Gimme love, gimme love
Never enough
Gimme love, gimme love
Never enough
Latched together from some loose box
Run from the wicked this life imports
Closed off from the seeing world
Inside my heart, inside a girl
[?] I don't need the time
I've wasted a life for contempt hopes
The one thing real I hunger for
I wish there was a little more
Gimme love, gimme love
Never enough
Gimme love, gimme love
Never enough
Gimme love, gimme love
Never enough
Gimme love, gimme love
Never enough
Gimme love
Gimme love
Gimme love
Gimme love
Gimme love
Gimme love
Gimme love
The song "Gimme Love" by the feminist punk band Sleater-Kinney is a raw and emotional expression of desire for something that is always just out of reach. The repeated refrain of "gimme love, gimme love, never enough" captures the insatiable need for connection and validation that we all feel at times. The lyrics seem to be addressed to another person, begging them to give more of themselves, but there is also a sense of internal struggle and self-doubt. In the verses, the singer describes her physical limitations and her inability to grasp what she wants, which is represented by the metaphor of dirt. She also alludes to a sense of alienation and isolation, feeling closed off from the world around her and trapped inside her own heart. Overall, the song is a powerful expression of human vulnerability and the need for love and connection in a world that can feel harsh and unforgiving.
Line by Line Meaning
Gimme love, gimme love
I want to be loved, I want to be loved so much
Never enough
I always crave more love than I currently have
My hands reached out to touch the earth
I try to grasp at things that I cannot obtain
I'm too small to reach to it
I feel insignificant when attempting to achieve my desires
I can't quite reach the thing I want
I constantly fall short of fulfilling my desires
All I touch is just dirt
I feel like everything I have accomplished is worthless
Latched together from some loose box
I feel like my existence is arbitrary and put together haphazardly
Run from the wicked this life imports
I try to avoid unpleasant situations that are beyond my control
Closed off from the seeing world
I feel isolated from other people and their viewpoints
Inside my heart, inside a girl
My thoughts and feelings are confined within my own being
[?] I don't need the time
I have wasted a significant amount of time pursuing things that didn't bring me happiness
I've wasted a life for contempt hopes
I have spent my life pursuing things that ultimately left me feeling unfulfilled
The one thing real I hunger for
The only thing that truly satisfies me is love
I wish there was a little more
No matter how much love I receive, I always desire more
Gimme love
I need love to survive
Gimme love
I need love to be whole
Gimme love
I need love to feel complete
Gimme love
I need love to thrive
Gimme love
Without love, I feel empty
Gimme love
Love is the only thing that truly matters to me

[Verse 1]
My hands reach out to touch the earth
Born too small too weak too weird
I can't quite reach the thing I want
Out of touch, it's just a taunt

Patched together from some loose parts
Numb from the wicked this life imparts
Closed off from the seeing world
Inside my heart beats like a girl
[Bridge]
All words, all wants, all needs, all time
All ways of life, all kinds, all types
The one thing we all hunger for
I wish there was a little more

Gimme love, gimme love
Never enough
Gimme love, gimme love

Gimme love, gimme love
