"Love's Almighty"
Télépopmusik & Angela McCluskey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
The nowhere else you'd find my kind
Dear John, oh yes I did all I could
To make it be like the wallflower who never could
And I admit I wasn′t pure, dear John
When I try so hard to make you sure
Life without you is not a cure
Dear John
The rooftops made of gold
He's telling me I should jump
He'll be there when I fall
So I step back, pretend I′m shocked
Really I always knew
This would happen to me and you, dear John
I just held on and hoped you′d find
The nowhere else you'd find my kind
Dear John
Love′s almighty
The lyrics of "Love's Almighty" by Télépopmusik & Angela McCluskey express the longing and disappointment of an unrequited love. The singer, who addresses a man named John, confesses that she tried hard to make him notice her and love her back. She hoped that he would eventually see that there is no one like her and that life without her would not be the cure for his troubles. However, she also admits that she wasn't entirely honest and pure in her intentions, suggesting that perhaps she had some ulterior motives for wanting John's attention.
The singer then refers to an unsung hero who lies beneath the rooftops made of gold. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for someone who is unappreciated or unnoticed, yet still present and caring. This person is telling the singer that she should jump, and he will catch her when she falls. This could be interpreted as a plea for the singer to take a risk and put herself out there, knowing that she will be caught and supported. However, she steps back and pretends to be shocked, suggesting that she is not ready or brave enough to take that leap.
Overall, the lyrics of "Love's Almighty" convey a sense of longing, disappointment, and missed opportunities, but also a glimmer of hope for the future.
