Is This Love
Will Downing&Lee Ritenour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes I know
And I'm only enemy
Pain is all that I can see oh
I see you're climbing a tree
And I know
That it's easier to be up high in
And it's love, etc
You say you can't say anymore
You've already said it before
In a million different ways
Which where all not quite right
The rain is loud on the ground
Yes I know
But I don't even make a sound when
I come around oh
And you say I'd be better of dead
Well I know
But its no use hiding this pretty
Head in the ground
And it's love, etc
And we can do the zarathustra
We can do the broken fist
We can tear down all the borders
Or abbreviate the list
And when finally the finish line
Emerges from the mist
We'll sound a soft alarm
Woah oh
These lyrics from "Is This Love" by Will Downing and Lee Ritenour featuring Will Downing speak to the differences between two people in a relationship. The singer acknowledges that they are different than the person they are talking to, and admits to being an "enemy" to them. They see the other person climbing a tree, and note that it's easier to be up high in the air than on the ground. Despite the differences and pain, they know that it's love.
The other person responds by saying they can't express their feelings anymore, having said them in many ways that weren't quite right. They hear the rain on the ground, but the singer doesn't make a sound when they come around. The other person says that perhaps the singer would be better off dead, but acknowledges that hiding their head in the ground won't help. The song ends with a call to action, suggesting that the two can work together to overcome obstacles and reach the "finish line" together.
Overall, the song speaks to the difficulties and differences in relationships, but ultimately ends with a message of hope and determination to make it work.

You're so much different than me
I understand that we come from different backgrounds and perspectives
Yes I know
I acknowledge and accept this fact
And I'm only enemy
I feel like I'm the only one causing problems in our relationship
Pain is all that I can see oh
I am struggling and only able to focus on the negative aspects of our connection
I see you're climbing a tree
I notice that you seem to be thriving and enjoying life
And it's easier to be up high in the air than on the ground
I understand that you may find it easier to navigate the world in a way that is different from me
And it's love, etc
Despite our differences and challenges, we both share a deep affection for each other
You say you can't say anymore
You feel like you've expressed yourself as much as you can about our relationship
You've already said it before
You believe that you've repeated yourself many times
In a million different ways
You've attempted to convey your feelings in many different forms
Which were all not quite right
However, you feel like you haven't been able to make me understand fully
The rain is loud on the ground
There are distractions and noise around us that make it difficult to communicate effectively
But I don't even make a sound when I come around oh
I am struggling to find the right words to say to you
And you say I'd be better of dead
You feel like our relationship is beyond repair
Well I know
I understand that this is how you feel
But it's no use hiding this pretty head in the ground
I know that avoiding the problem won't make it go away
And we can do the zarathustra
We can try different approaches to solve our issues
We can do the broken fist
We can fight each other and further damage our connection
We can tear down all the borders
We can work together to break down barriers between us
Or abbreviate the list
We can focus on only a few key problems instead of tackling everything at once
And when finally the finish line emerges from the mist
When we start to see progress and solutions to our issues
We'll sound a soft alarm
We'll celebrate our progress and newfound understanding
Woah oh
An expression of emotion and feeling

I just love Will!....he sang here in Buffalo some 12 years ago, saw his show, and it was amazing...big guy, built like a football blocker too! ♥
@kathyscorpio
He's awesome. I had the pleasure of meeting Will a few years back at one of his childhood friends 50th birthday party here in West Palm Beach. I love Will Downings smoothness so much, I traveled to North Carolina in September 2022 when he and Stephanie Mills performed. One of my favorite concerts.🙂
@Tocomaco
@@kathyscorpio ...and just to add, he sang at somewhat a small venue, and we do have a large diverse of people, and many mix ethnic throughout Buffalo, and many, many concerts of all kinds, but it surprisingly got me that I was the only white person at that concert...lol, didn't feel uncomfortable at all either...how he'll be back soon again!
