It All Comes Down to Love
Wynonna Judd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talking heads talking to us on the television
Silver screen preachers and politicians
Say they got the answer first they gotta squeeze us
Send a little money there's tax on Jesus
Fix it with a prayer, fix it with a dollar
Does anybody out there ever want to holler?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh it all comes down to love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Self-help guru's got a best seller
Ricki Lake's got a drag-queen bank teller
1-900 look into the crystal
N.R.A. says you better buy a pistol
They made a little pill but it might cause cancer
It's just a cheap thrill when you're looking for the answer
There's only one answer
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh it all comes down to love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh it all comes down to love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Suits on Wall Street make another million
Dealer on the backstreet talkin' to your children
You cry for help and nobody listens
You lie awake at night wonderin' what's missing?
You can put an end to all the confusion
Look into your heart for the one solution
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh it all comes down to love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh it all comes down to love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The song "It All Comes Down to Love" by Wynonna Judd begins with a critique of the barrage of messages that we receive from different sources, such as the media, preachers, and politicians, who claim to have the answer to our problems. However, they often demand money in exchange for that answer, and it is easy to become cynical and disillusioned about it all. The verse also touches on the idea that people often look for quick and easy fixes to their problems, like a prayer or a pill, but these solutions may not be enough. Throughout the song, it is emphasized that there is only one answer to all the confusion, and that's love.
The chorus repeats the same phrase: "It all comes down to love." This simple and direct message emphasizes the importance of love in all of our lives, and how it can be the solution to many of our problems despite the complexity of the world we live in. The second verse touches on different aspects of modern life, such as the self-help industry, the gun lobby, and the pharmaceutical industry, and emphasizes how these things can create more confusion and anxiety than solutions. Ultimately, the song suggests that the solutions we're looking for may be found within ourselves and our ability to love and connect with others.
Overall, "It All Comes Down to Love" is a powerful and timely message exploring the idea of love as a solution to the problems we face in the modern world.
