Voice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she lets him have it
He loves her for it
The way she lets him have it
As he came through the door he was iron clad
Under her spell he's relieved of all that
Just another little boy with a runny nose
He loves her for it
And she let's him have it
He loves her for it
The way she let's him have it
On a regular day he's all concrete and steel
Pleasure applied he's ready to squeal
He loves her for it
And she let's him have it
He loves her for it
The way she let's him have it
The lyrics to Voice's song Year for Love convey a sense of power exchanged between two people in a relationship. The first stanza states "He loves her for it, and she lets him have it", implying that the woman in the relationship holds some kind of power over the man, but instead of abusing it, she "lets him have it". This could refer to her allowing him to have control, or freedom to be himself without judgement.
The second stanza describes the man as "iron clad" and "all concrete and steel", suggesting he is a tough, unyielding figure. However, when he is with the woman he loves, he is "relieved of all that" and becomes a "little boy with a runny nose". This line is particularly interesting, as it suggests vulnerability and submission - the antithesis of the strong image that was established earlier.
In the final stanza, the lyrics become more sexual in nature, with the idea of "pleasure applied". The repetition of the phrase "he loves her for it" reinforces the idea that the man is content and happy in this dynamic, where he is allowed to be vulnerable and submissive. Overall, the song celebrates the power exchange between two people in a relationship, where each partner is allowed to be their true selves without judgement.

He loves her for it
He adores her for being able to control him
And she lets him have it
And she allows him to be under her spell
The way she lets him have it
The way she has complete power over him is what he loves
As he came through the door he was iron clad
As he saw her, he was immediately defenseless and powerless
Under her spell he's relieved of all that
He feels relieved and content when she takes control of him
His rank came off with the rest of his clothes
His power and authority disappeared as soon as she came into the room
Just another little boy with a runny nose
He feels like a helpless child when she's around
On a regular day he's all concrete and steel
Usually he's strong and unemotional
Pleasure applied he's ready to squeal
But when she takes control, he's willing to do anything for her pleasure
