Love's Gone
Virgin Steele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't say that you want love
As you're walking out my door
Don't say that you need love
'Cause I can't love you
Anymore
Lay down in rapture
Hang your head in sharne my dear
You gocca roll alone
[Chorus:]
Love's gone
It's gone away
Highway in starlite
You shed your blood upon the sun
You lock your love
In bitterness
And now you're left with no one
God, I loved you one time
When we walked the world alone
The face that love could not
Forgive
The heart will turn to stone
[Chorus]
... I fell you body writhe
Like a snake in rny arms
Wrap yourself around me, baby
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Virgin Steele's "Love's Gone" depict the pain and heartbreak of a relationship coming to an end. The singer is urging their lover not to profess their love as they're leaving, indicating that it is too late now. They're filled with self-doubt and condemnation, inviting their lover to indulge in hedonistic pleasures in a world full of fear. The chorus of the song repeats the powerful words "Love's gone; it's gone away," leaving no room for misinterpretation. The second stanza of the song accentuates the pain of heartbreaks as the singer compares it to shedding blood upon the sun. The tragedy of one's fate to be left alone without the one they loved is brought out poignantly. The song concludes with the singer surrendering to the senses and the memory of their lover in their arms.

Hang your head in sharne my dear
Feel ashamed, my dear, as you lower your head.
You gocca roll alone
You'll have to roll alone, by yourself.

You took a highway ride under the stars; you metaphorically spilled your blood under the sun.

You sealed your love in bitterness and now you're left without anyone.
God, I loved you one time When we walked the world alone

The face that love could not Forgive The heart will turn to stone

Love is gone and it won't come back.

I feel your body gently squirm like a snake in my embrace. So baby, wrap yourself around me.
[Chorus]
Love is gone and it won't come back.
