Not In Love
The Americans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without your love
I will feel strong (I will feel strong)
Without your love
Begins my day
When you're away from me
You didn't make the grade
And since you're gone (and since you're gone)
I've had it made
Evol not love
Evol not love
For me
Da-ta-ta, da-ta-ta, da-ta-ta, da-ta-ta-ta
Da-ta-ta, da-ta-ta, da-ta-ta, da-ta-ta-ta
Begins my day
When you're away
From me
I left you 'cause (I left you 'cause)
You didn't make the grade
And since you're gone (and since you're gone)
I've had it made
Evol not love
Evol not love
For me
Da-ta-ta, da-ta-ta, da-ta-ta, da-ta-ta-ta
Da-ta-ta, da-ta-ta, da-ta-ta, da-ta-ta-ta
The lyrics of The Americans' song "Not In Love" express a sense of independence and empowerment that comes from breaking away from a toxic or unfulfilling relationship. The repetition of "I can't go wrong without your love" and "I will feel strong without your love" signifies a realization that the singer does not need the validation or presence of their former partner to thrive. This newfound self-assurance is highlighted in the lines "Begins my day when you're away from me," suggesting that the singer's life is actually improved by the absence of their ex.
The decision to leave the partner is portrayed as a necessary and positive step, as indicated by the lines "I left you 'cause you didn't make the grade" and "since you're gone, I've had it made." These lyrics convey a sense of relief and liberation from a relationship that was holding the singer back or causing them pain. The juxtaposition of "Evol not love" emphasizes that what the singer previously mistook for love was actually something negative or harmful, further underscoring the toxic nature of the past relationship.
The repetitive chorus of "Da-ta-ta" serves as a catchy and rhythmic refrain that reinforces the message of moving on and thriving independently. The phrase "Da-ta-ta" could be interpreted as a symbol of moving forward and leaving the past behind, with each repetition representing a step towards self-realization and growth. The chorus also acts as a release or catharsis, allowing the singer to vocalize their newfound sense of freedom and self-love.
Overall, "Not In Love" by The Americans is a defiant anthem of self-empowerment and liberation from a toxic relationship. The lyrics convey a journey of self-discovery and assertiveness, celebrating the courage it takes to break free from a situation that was ultimately holding the singer back. Through its repetitive and infectious chorus, the song conveys a message of resilience and independence, ultimately affirming that true love and fulfillment can only be found within oneself.

I might be in a minority but I liked the main girl before they gussied
her up. She's naturally gorgeous and effervesent. She would make the
bestest friend in the world, she's sweet, energetic, positive and pretty
down to earth, no frills. If she ever felt sad the world would be
dismal till she brightened again. I enjoyed her character so much. The
excess of the 'dress up' and 'sophistication' seemed to drown her out
but I can understand why it happened. Pretty much the only reason I sat
through this mess of audio, for it was something truly shocking, is her.
It doesn't get better, ever. It's off through the whole thing. A shame
because this was at it's core a really good story with better acting
than I've found so far in this genre.

she's way too kind because I would 'hold it' against them. Lol, I'm not
stupid. They tried once I'm not trusting them not to a second time, I
would stay far away. Seems like MO in this family apparently. Don't like
something..kill it or try to. The king and Queen are a perfect match
and they didn't even yet know in all the ways.
