Legalize Love
The Busters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
for a natural human desire, you can't supress
when the law is too strict, one might have the feeling he can't breathe
when the fence is too high, a hole makes your flight a success
don't stash me away, like something you make no use of
don't let spiderwebs and dust be, our love's last coat
have no fear of the water, you might have to jump in
legalize love – express yourself
legalize love – don't put it on a shelf
legalize love – baby help yourself
legalize love
what are you saving up, your qualities for
what precious target, makes you pay this price
you are no bounty, this is to be your harvest
accept your luck, before it slips away, if you're wise
your skin looks soft, every viewer has to admit
but it's hard like a shell, i regret to say
it's tough enough to face the wind and water
but every shell will open up, one day
legalize love – express yourself
legalize love – don't put it on a shelf
legalize love – baby help yourself
legalize love
The Busters's song Legalize Love is a commentary on the importance of accepting and embracing one's natural human desire for love, despite society's attempts to suppress it through strict laws and societal expectations. The opening line, "I'm a gangster of love, but baby that's what you made me," suggests that the desire for love is inherent in all humans and cannot be erased or ignored. The lyrics go on to convey the idea that when the law is too strict and the societal expectations are too high, it can feel suffocating and impossible to breathe.
However, the chorus encourages people to "legalize love" and express themselves without fear or shame. The line, "Don't stash me away, like something you make no use of," suggests that love should not be hidden or pushed aside as if it is something useless. The idea that love should be legalized and embraced is repeated throughout the chorus, encouraging listeners to "help yourself" to love and allow it to be a natural part of life.
The lyric about the viewer admitting that the skin looks soft but is actually tough like a shell could be a metaphor for the facade that people put up to try to hide their desires for love. The song encourages the listener to break free of that shell and embrace their true selves.
