Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Reign's song "Looking For You" are full of imagery and emotion. The first few lines suggest that the singer is not conforming to societal rules - he runs a red light and the papers are lying about something. However, these external issues soon fade away as he falls for someone. The idea of falling over someone being the news of the day suggests that this love is all-encompassing and significant, and the comparison to rain and angels falling suggests that it is both passionate and spiritual.


The lyrics continue with the idea that time is moving inside the person the singer is in love with, but they never fade. This suggests that the love is not something fleeting, but rather something that will last. The singer seems to be in a race with someone, but ultimately is on the side of the person he loves. Their presence is so powerful that even his engines die when he hears them. The imagery of stars coming down is again romantic and evocative, suggesting that the love between these two people is almost otherworldly.


The final lines of the song seem to be a plea to the person the singer loves to not go, as it makes no sense. The idea of talking supermen taking away time suggests that perhaps these external distractions are what is getting in the way of their love. The line "ain't it just like rain" suggests that love can be both beautiful and unpredictable, and that it is something that cannot be controlled. The chorus repeats the idea that time moves inside the person the singer is in love with, but they never fade. The ghost in them - perhaps their spirit or essence - does not disappear or lessen over time.


Overall, the lyrics to "Looking For You" suggest a deep and powerful love that is not without its challenges. The singer seems to be grappling with external distractions and the unpredictability of love, but ultimately sees this love as something powerful, otherworldly, and everlasting.


Line by Line Meaning

A man in my shoes runs a light
I am someone who takes risks and doesn't always follow the rules.


And all the papers lied tonight
The media does not always tell the truth and can be misleading.


But falling over you Is the news of the day
Being in love with you is the most important thing happening in my life right now.


Angels fall like rain And love is all of heaven away
Love is both beautiful and out of reach, like angels that fall from the sky.


Inside you the time moves And she don't fade
You have a timeless quality and your essence will never fade away.


The ghost in you She don't fade
Your spirit will always live on, even after your physical body has passed away.


A race is on I'm on your side
Life is a competition, but I am rooting for you and want you to succeed.


And hearing you my engines die I'm in a mood for you For running away
Whenever I am with you, everything else fades away and all I want to do is escape with you.


Stars come down in you And love, you can't give it away
You are filled with love and light, and it is impossible for you to give it away.


Don't you go It makes no sense When all your talking supermen Just take away the time And get in the way
Don't leave me, because it doesn't make sense to waste time talking to people who are not as important to me as you are.


Ain't it just like rain And love is only heaven away
Love can be unpredictable, like rain, and it feels like a distant paradise that we can only dream of.
