Funnel of Love
The Young Veins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Going down, down, down,
My mind is a blank,
My head is spinning around and around,
As I go deep into the funnel of love.
It's such a crazy, crazy feeling,
I get weak in the knees,
As I go deep into the funnel of love.
I tried and I tried, to run and hide,
I even tried to run away,
Ya just can't run from the funnel of love,
It's gonna get ya someday.
It's such a crazy, crazy feeling,
I get weak in the knees,
My poor old head is a reelin',
As I go deep into the funnel of love.
I tried and I tried, to run and hide,
I even tried to run away,
Ya just can't run from the funnel of love,
It's gonna get ya someday.
Here I go, going down, down, down,
My mind is a blank,
My head is spinning around and around,
As I go deep into the funnel of love,
Deep into the funnel of love,
Deep into the funnel of love,
Deep into the funnel of love.
The lyrics of The Young Veins' "Funnel of Love" describe the feelings of being uncontrollably drawn towards the concept of love, represented by a funnel. The repetition of the phrase "going down" is symbolic of falling deeper into love, and the sensation of being overwhelmed by the intensity of this emotion. The singer describes feeling powerless to escape the "funnel of love," and the experience is described as being both "crazy" and disorienting, with "my head spinning around and around" and the singer feeling "weak in the knees." The last lines of the song, "deep into the funnel of love," are repeated several times, emphasizing the idea that the singer is being drawn further and further into the experience of love, with no end in sight.
The song's lyrics seem to suggest that love can be both exhilarating and overwhelming, and that it can be difficult to resist the pull towards it. Additionally, the use of the metaphor of a funnel suggests that love might be something that can consume a person entirely, drawing them further and further in until they lose sight of anything else. The repetition of certain phrases throughout the song emphasizes the cyclical nature of the experience, with the singer describing trying and failing to resist the allure of love, and ultimately succumbing to it.
