Is This Love
Terra Sky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No this is not a test
This is your life
Time to face the vice grips!
Breathing in this life that shakes my feet won't change my mind
Please release me from everything!
I am effervescent as I stand before you
I am not immoral
I won't disappoint you
Time to face the vice grips!
You've got to hear me out now!
I'm not the enemy
I can show you how!
Just how great this can be
Picking lilacs
Breathing in this life that shakes your feet!
Whispering that this will be alright
Tonight!
I am effervescent as I stand before you
Drink the poison from my lips
I am not immoral
I won't disappoint you
Time to face the vice grips!
It's not a dream
No this is not a test
This is your life!
I can show you how this can be!
Breathing in this life that shakes my feet won't change my mind
Please release me from everything!
Set me free!
Diamond eyes
Heart is sold
Yeah the devil has it's hold
The love I have for you will never go!
Siamese lies
Tension holds
With a vigor so bold!
Sweet hands to touch the sky
This feeling never dies!
These words
You scream
The air in which you breathe
The life on silver screen
These things you can't believe
Purpose you fail to see
That your hanging by a string
Time to get a grip on things!
We are one!
It's not a dream
No this is not a test
This is your life
Time to face the vice grips!
Breathing in this life that shakes my feet won't change my mind
Please release me from everything!
In Terra Sky's song "Is This Love?", the lyrics describe a call to action to face the challenges and struggles of life head-on. The opening lines "It's not a dream, no this is not a test, this is your life, time to face the vice grips!" set the tone for the rest of the song, with the artist acknowledging that life is not always easy and can be overwhelming. However, rather than giving up or giving in, the lyrics suggest that we must keep moving forward, even if it shakes us to our core.
The repeated phrase "I am effervescent as I stand before you, drink the poison from my lips, I am not immoral, I won't disappoint you, time to face the vice grips" highlights the resilience and determination of the artist, refusing to be silenced or defeated by the challenges they face. The call-to-action is echoed in later lines: "You've got to hear me out now, I'm not the enemy, I can show you how, just how great this can be, picking lilacs, breathing in this life that shakes your feet, whispering that this will be alright tonight" - suggesting that we can find joy and beauty in life's struggles, and that it's important to embrace the support of others in tough times.
Ultimately, the song's message is one of hope and positivity: "set me free, diamond eyes, heart is sold, yeah, the devil has its hold, the love I have for you will never go, siamese lies, tension holds with a vigor so bold, sweet hands to touch the sky this feeling never dies". The lyrics paint a picture of a love that can conquer all, even the challenges and hardships of life.

I'm glad to be the 67 person to comment on a song that's 80 years old
@Chaseo20
This is one of the very few songs that makes me happy/sad at the same time, to the extent that I was dancing and crying at the same time!! (However it's possible that I had a drink, or five, and I had just gone through a horrible break-up just a couple of months after my Father unexpectedly passed away. I was almost 21 and it seems like it was yesterday!! Lots of nostalgia from this song!! This, and Rockell's (←sp?) - "In a Dream" were, and still are, two of my most favorite songs from that genre!
