Ain't No Love
Trance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And our heart is filled with terrible fright!
We are so greedy oh we can't get enough
And after all we know the reason -
Ain′t no love!
Mind sinkin' in your whiskey glass
Daylight kicks you in the face you′re puffed
And after all you know the reason -
Ain′t no love!
Give up to laugh if you'd like to cry
For goddamned lies make honest feelings die
Tell the truth and you will find a friend
Hearts of stone are always losers and
Get no love!
Ain′t no love!
The lyrics to Trance's song "Ain't no Love" highlight the negative characteristics of humanity, such as greed, substance abuse, and dishonesty. The opening line compares human life to that of a rat on the flight, portraying a sense of desperation and fear. The following line, "And our heart is filled with terrible fright," suggests that the fear is deep-rooted, perhaps stemming from a lack of genuine love and connection in the world.
The next verse focuses on indulgence and escapism as ways to cope with this fear. The line "Party's fine you smoke a lot of grass / Mind sinkin' in your whiskey glass" describes a hedonistic lifestyle, with the use of drugs and alcohol acting as a distraction from reality. However, the harsh reality inevitably catches up, as portrayed in the line "Daylight kicks you in the face you're puffed," adding to the sense of hopelessness.
The final verse encourages honesty and vulnerability as a way to connect with others and find love. The line "Hearts of stone are always losers and get no love" further emphasizes that living with a closed-off heart will lead to a lack of love and connection in life.
Overall, the lyrics of "Ain't no Love" paint a bleak image of humanity, but also offer a glimmer of hope in the form of vulnerability and honesty.
