Language Of Love
Wolf Maahn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Words that we don't.
There are hands that we don′t shake
And friends that we don't make
We're looking through the same eyes
Listening with the same ears
But we don′t
Don′t talk
We don't talk so much
Don′t need to talk so much
We don't talk so much
We use the language
The language of love
There are words that we don′t say
Smiles that we don't fake
Notes that we don′t play
Just bonds that we don't break
Where looking through the same eyes
Listening with the same ears
Thinking 'long the same lines
Tasting the same tears
But
We don′t talk so much
We use the language
The language of love
It′s understood but never heard
We're close enough without the spoken word
We share an understanding which is far better
In each and every way
When we don′t
We don't.
We don′t talk so much
Don't need to talk just touch
We could talk so much
But don′t say a word baby now
Just touch
We don't talk so much
We use the language
The language of love
The language
Of love
Of love
Of love
In Wolf Maahn's song Language of Love, the lyrics reflect on the power of connection and understanding that goes beyond words, with the message of this song being that love is a language all its own. The song talks about the non-verbal and unspoken gestures, and nuances that exist in a relationship. In a world where verbal communication is often emphasized, the song suggests that there are certain things that can only be conveyed through touch, shared experiences, and kinetic energy. By using the metaphor of music and playing notes that we don't, the singer emphasizes the idea that it's the unspoken connections, the little things that we do, and the emotions we share that ultimately create the strongest bonds.
Throughout the song, the lyrics emphasize the concept of a shared understanding that goes beyond language and into the realm of feeling. The idea that sometimes, we don't need to say much, because we already know what the other person is thinking is reinforced in the chorus. The repetition of the line "We don't talk so much, we use the language of love" reinforces the idea that love is something that transcends words and can be shared through physical touch, shared experiences, and emotions.
