Like Someone in Love
Yasuko Agawa Lyrics

The lyrics to Yasuko Agawa's song In the Name of Love portray the feeling of being utterly mesmerized by the presence of a loved one. The singer is taken over by the love they feel, as they find themselves gazing at the stars and hearing guitars, telling of their romantic, dreamy state. They are surprised by their own actions, being almost astounded by it, but realize that it's mostly because of the presence of the loved one. They find themselves walking as if they had wings, and bumping into things, as if they're not entirely present in their own body or reality. Each time they look at the loved one, they are immobilized, feeling as weak as limp gloves, but ultimately, feel like themselves again when they realize it's all in the name of love.

The lyrics illustrate the power and emotional immensity that comes with loving someone, so much that it almost takes over one's being. The imagery of looking at stars and hearing guitars alludes to the romantic stereotypes of love, perfectly matching the singer's deep feelings. The metaphor of having wings entails the sense of freedom that comes with love, which ultimately overwhelms one and may lead one to bump into things as they navigate their new reality.
