When I Fall In Love
The Starsound Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.
The Starsound Orchestra's song 'When I Fall In Love' communicates strong ideas about love, commitment, and the challenges that come with them in our modern world. The song is written in a way that suggests that love is not as simple as it once was, that the restlessness of society has made it harder for love to thrive, and that we must be cautious about who we entrust our hearts to. The line "In a restless world like this is" speaks to these struggles, where people are always on the go, and where distractions and commitments compete with love.
The song's core message is about commitment, stating that when the singer falls in love, it will be forever, or not at all. The idea of giving one's heart completely is potent throughout the lyrics, and the idea that love cannot be taken lightly is emphasized. The verses also suggest that the singer has been hurt before, that moonlight kisses and warmth that have cooled in the sun suggest that love has not always been kind. However, the song concludes on a hopeful note, as the singer suggests that when they find someone who feels the same way, that is when they will fall in love.
