IN THE NAME OF LOVE
Sophie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a drawback in living for
The moment, in loving life too much
Every time you're lost in love
You wonder when the love will stop

I'm lost in love

There's a price to pay if you
Want to enjoy the present time
To be that thankful demands that you
Are always carrying death in mind

Death is around

There's a point to put off some things
And save them for a rainy day
Only those about to die
Are acting in a perfect way

Who wants to die

There's an answer to why you can
So rarely take in what you see
The pleasure is followed by
A fear you want to avoid to feel

I'm so lost in love

There's a freedom in making plans
To think about a future and
There's a comfort in being sure
That it'll be long before the end

I'm not making plans

There's a reason to why so many
Only get one little chance




If the song was sung forever
No one'd ever stop to dance

Overall Meaning

In Sophie Zelmani's song "Lost in love," there is a contradiction between living in the moment and the fear of change that comes along with it. The lyrics highlight the paradox of wanting to embrace life while still being mindful of the inevitability of death. The singer recognizes that there is a downside to being lost in love, or enjoying life to the fullest. Every moment of happiness is accompanied by the fear and uncertainty that this joy may soon come to an end. This fear is a constant reminder that death is lurking in the background, a price that must be paid for enjoying the present.


Throughout the song, Zelmani reminds the listener that putting off some things can have value. Saving certain activities or experiences for a rainy day is wise because, in a sense, one is preparing for death. Those who approach life this way are acting in a perfect way because they are fully aware of its fragility. However, the singer does not advocate living exclusively this way, as it can result in fear overriding the present joy. Instead, there must be a balance between mindful preparations for the future and living fully in the present.


Sophie Zelmani's song "Lost in love" is a thoughtful and poignant reflection on the nature of joy, fear, and death, and the importance of balance in life. The lyrics are a reminder to live consciously in the moment while remembering the fleeting nature of life.
