Traffic Island Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need somebody or else I'm gonna die
Oh, love, if you need me, just call and I'll be there
There is no sorrow that both of us can't share
That both of us can't share
Love, don't you despair
The lyrics of Traffic A.M.'s song Love convey a sense of desperation for companionship and love. The singer pleads for someone to not pass him by, as he needs somebody or else he feels like he will die. He emphasizes on the importance of love, saying that if the need arises, he will be there to share all the sorrows the person might be going through. The lyrics seem to be addressing someone who the singer wants to open up to, someone who he feels can be a safe haven for him. The repeated use of the word 'love' in the lyrics creates an intense emotional charge in the song, emphasizing the theme of seeking love and companionship.
The song's lyrics are very relatable, as most people have felt the need for companionship and love at some point in their lives. The singer's passionate plea for companionship tugs at the listener's heartstrings and creates an overwhelming emotional response. The lyrics additionally have a strong sense of sincerity, as the singer's declaration of being there for the person in need feels genuine and heartfelt. The song conveys the emotions of someone who is at a low point in their life and thus captures the essence of human vulnerability.
