Her
Unloved Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There were no candles lit.
The room was dark as night,
Just like the corners of my mind.
I — gave my heart to her
She — has my heart.

I rose to kiss her
But the flower fell apart,
Fire glistened
And tore me apart,

′Where does love go?", she said.
I said,
"Wherever you are."

Aglow she lie, limbs soft,
Her eyes almost closed,
Wandering a wilderness of all things wanting
To know.





I caught her in midair
Gathering wildflowers to braid in her hair.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Unloved's song "Her" describe the singer's intense love and devotion to a woman. The song starts by describing a scene where the room is dark and there are no candles lit, which possibly hints at a troubled or melancholic atmosphere. The singer then declares that they have given their heart to this woman and she has it completely. The next line then suggests that the singer tries to kiss the woman but ends up breaking the metaphorical flower that represents their relationship. This could signify a turn in their relationship and possibly foreshadow an impending breakup.


The next verse portrays the singer being torn apart by the passion they have for this woman. The woman asks the singer where love goes, to which they reply that it goes wherever she is. This could suggest that the singer believes the love they share with this woman is timeless and unchanging, and that it will always be with them as long as she is around.


The final verse describes the woman lying glowingly with soft limbs and almost-closed eyes, presumably after an intimate moment. The singer then catches her midair while she is gathering flowers to braid in her hair. This could signify that the singer wants to keep the memory of this moment alive through the flowers she is gathering, while also showcasing the tenderness and care with which the singer regards this woman.
