Pure Devotion
Turnover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But one tomorrow they won't be there when tomorrow comes
Do you think that you'll love me even when the lovin' hurts?
You're captivated by a beauty that I didn't earn
I've been trying to believe it
Man, I mean it when I say that it is only worth it if it's real enough to trust
I know that it is only worth it if it's pure devotion
I would never ask for you to stay
If you wanted to go a different way
Then I'd give you whatever you need
For now you love me but I don't know how you say you're sure
You understand that it's forever that you're asking for
I've done enough to know when I should learn from old mistakes
And fought enough to know how quickly what I do can fade
I've been trying to believe it
Man, I mean it when I say that it is only worth it if it's real enough to trust
I know that it is only worth it if it's pure devotion
I would never ask for you to stay
Won't expect you to come with me
If you wanted to go a different way
Then I'll give you whatever you need
Tell me anything, just not a lie
I won't try to control this
I mean it when I tell you it's not worth it unless it's pure devotion
The lyrics of Turnover's song Pure Devotion seem to be about the complexity of romantic relationships and the fear of losing the person you love. The opening lines suggest that the singer believes their partner may only love them for their physical attributes and that they fear their love may not be true when things start to change. The singer questions their partner's motives and wonders if they will stay even when things get difficult. They seem wary of false affection that will not stand the test of time.
The singer then declares that their love is only worth it if it is pure devotion, honest and based on mutual trust. They express a willingness to let go if it is necessary and to support their partner in any decision they make. However, they stress the importance of honesty and a commitment to genuine love. The final lines suggest that the singer wants transparency and an authentic connection, even if it means walking away from a relationship that lacks these qualities. It seems that the song is about the importance of truth, trust, and loyalty in a romantic relationship.

A Love Song in the purest sense of the word. A love song to the highest form of love without being overly delicate or demonstrative, just pure essence. This is such an amazing song
