Teach Me Love
Technicolour Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in denial, it's my drug and it's my sin
No fault of yours, I don't let nobody in
But can you hear me, love, when I sing?

refrain: (2x)
You've gotta teach me love,
You've gotta show me
I wanna know you love,
I just need you

Still in denial, it's my drug and it's my sin
Low fault of yours, I don't let nobody in
I just wish that you could hear
All the things I haven't said
'Cause I don't understand
All these things inside my head
But can you hear me, love, when I sing?

refrain (2x)

You've gotta teach me love (You've gotta teach me love) (3x)
You've gotta teach me love





refrain (4x)

Overall Meaning

In Technicolour's song "Teach Me Love," the singer is expressing their struggle with denial and isolation, admitting that it has become their drug and sin. Despite this, they long for connection and understanding, asking for the person they love to teach them how to love and to show them that love. The repetition of the phrase "can you hear me, love, when I sing?" emphasizes the singer's desire for their love to see through their walls and to truly hear them. The second verse suggests that there are things that the singer wants to say but can't, implying that their fear and reluctance to open up is preventing them from fully participating in a loving relationship. Through the refrain, the singer repeats their plea for love to be shown and taught to them, emphasizing the urgency of their desire for connection.


Overall, the lyrics convey the complexities of human emotion and the struggle to open up to others. The singer's fear of vulnerability and denial lead to isolation and an inability to connect, but their love for the person they're addressing is strong enough to push them to seek assistance and guidance in learning how to love.
