Slowdive Lyrics

Give me your love, it's a curious love
The singer is asking for the listener's love and acknowledging that love is always inexplicable and unpredictable.

Give me your heart, it's a curious thing
The singer wants the listener to give their heart, recognizing that the human heart is a mysterious force that sometimes leads us into trouble.

Our lady of the shipwreck is running thru the storm
This line references a figure who is likely in a dire situation, struggling to move forward despite the odds.

Her skirts blown back, hands to the fore
This is a vivid image of the woman's physical struggle, alluding to the strength and determination required to weather a storm.

My love and I go, it's a curious woe
The artist and their lover experience an elusive and sometimes painful form of affection, which they acknowledge but cannot fully explain.

Like dreamers at dawn, awake but not yet
The singer and their lover feel a sense of limbo as they attempt to make sense of their emotions, something like being adrift in a waking dream.

You give me your heart, it's a curious thing
Repeating a previous line, the singer emphasizes the paradoxical nature of love: we willingly give something that is ultimately beyond our control.

It burns and it slides, it's a curious ride
Love is tumultuous and unpredictable, with a kind of fiery, slippery quality that defies our attempts to make sense of it.

We're younger than clouds, younger than clouds
Atmospheric and ephemeral, the artist and their lover are like a natural force that constantly renews itself, defying time and mortality.

Give me your heart, yeah / Give me your heart
Echoing previous lines, the artist implores the listener to surrender their heart and take a leap of faith into the mysterious, unpredictable world of love.
