Passion
Xavier Naidoo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In every man's life, there comes a time
When he get struck by the arrow of Cupid
By the love of God, or the beauty of a woman
And sometimes this love, brings thunder into your life
And it brings the storm, sing about it
There is more to love than this
Will we take it to that step?
Will we do more than just connect?
And will you bring the thunder in my life?
And the fire in my eyes?
'Cause then there, will be days of pleasure where
Everything far will be so near
I have never felt thunder (thunder)
And lighting (lightning) like this
I have never been struck by (struck by)
A wonder (a wonder) like this
There are days where I can stop talking about you
There days I can't stop saying your name
And I am looking for ways never to part from you, have
Everything changed and you still stay the same
I've never seen, and there's never been
Anything, with the beauty of you
Yo, yo, yo
Aiyo, shorty, I've never met someone so beautiful
From your hair follicle to your finger nail cuticle
Struck by the arrow of Cupid, this love is deep rooted
Like someone took my heart, sampled it and looped it
To a song that's endless, passion brings the tempest
I'll slay a thousand dragons to save my little princess
A walking gift from God, you are my shining star
The diamonds and gold that most men be mining for
Days that we share are like treasures
A treasure like fire is to mankind
My hands will try to carry you to ever
But since I've seen you, you've bright heaven to my mind
I've never seen, and there's never been
Anything, with the beauty of you
The lyrics of Xavier Naidoo's “Passion” convey a powerful message about the transformative and overwhelming power of love. The first verse sets the stage by introducing the idea that everyone will experience the “arrow of Cupid” at some point in their life – a moment when they are struck by a love so intense that it brings thunder and storms into their life. The chorus then asks whether this love will take the connection to the next level, and whether the thunder and fire will remain in the relationship. The second verse continues by expressing how the love has completely overtaken the singer's thoughts and feelings, with the third verse being a rap section from a guest artist expressing his love for his partner as well. Throughout, the song emphasizes the beauty and awe-inspiring nature of this kind of passion, with the repeated refrain of the chorus ultimately affirming that the singer has never seen anyone or anything as beautiful as the object of his affection.
Overall, the song speaks to the overwhelming transformative experience of love, when a romantic connection has the ability to shift one's entire perspective on the world. While the lyrics don't provide many specifics about the featured relationship, the intense passion and devotion expressed throughout the song suggest that it's the kind of love that leaves a deep impact on both individuals involved.
