Pain Told Love
Tribe Society Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It helps to know it don't only rain on your window
Those times when I heard you cry, I let you be
No one knows you quite like me
Pain comes and you find a way to build your world around it
And when it hurts get inside the pain and wrap your arms around it
I heard pain tell love She said "where would I be without you?"
So love I better find a way to build my world around you
Even if you hide away and always stay home
You gotta make a friend of pain
‘Cause hurricanes make flowers grow
They say that the world's a stage and life's a show
It's all a dance and dosey-doe
The sun when it lights the moon it hides the day
Only a fool would wish the night away
Pain comes and you find a way to build your world around it
And when it hurts get inside the pain and wrap your arms around it
I heard pain tell love She said "where would I be without you?"
So love I better find a way to build my world around you
And even if you don't go, and even if you never know
Even if you hide away and always stay home
You gotta make a friend of pain
‘Cause hurricanes make flowers grow
I took a little vacation
Took a bunch of medication
Just trying something to for the pain
I just couldn't take the pain
I gotta better education
For a little vegetation
A little something for the pain
Give me something for the pain
And even if you don't go, and even if you never know
Even if you hide away and always stay home
You gotta make a friend of pain
‘Cause hurricanes make flowers grow
The song "Pain Told Love" by Tribe Society is a deeply introspective and emotive piece that explores the idea that pain is an essential part of life and love. The opening lines set the tone for the song, with the singer acknowledging that feeling pain is necessary to understand the world around us. The song suggests that pain can be a source of growth and that building your world around it can be a way to overcome difficult experiences.
The lyrics go on to explore the relationship between love and pain, with the singer stating that pain and love are intertwined. The song suggests that without experiencing pain, love would not be as meaningful or valuable. The chorus repeats the importance of making a friend of pain and embracing it as a necessary part of life. The bridge of the song sees the singer admitting to struggling with pain and seeking out medication to alleviate it, but ultimately realizing that pain is something that must be accepted and navigated rather than avoided.
