Heavy Love
Yoke Lore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll give you mine, all my bends are for her and all my teeth get warmer for my anchor
Selfishly, I lick slip between your knees to find me reeling up my feet to fight the ceiling

While I wait, I watch you skate from place to place, a wave of grace in your wake
And I fear the way, these words come to the page so easily
'Cause you got so deep in me, in me

That I dream of you when I'm upright
You use me as your nightlight
I sweat so much I skid by
Your tongue licks up all of my bites
A cigarette in the half light
We're beach bums we fuck in the daylight
You're scared, and I know why
'Cause I'm the one that feels right

I know that time
Does all he can to rhyme and to make us feel
Like every bed we make is a coffin
I've heard that seasons change with the way your face gets when I tell you
That I will yell of my secrets
But I'm for you like Noah walking through in twos in my priestly collars
I will yell all the ways you've won me (me)

That I dream of you when I'm upright
You use me as your nightlight
I sweat so much I skid by
Your tongue licks up all of my bites
A cigarette in the half light
We're beach bums we fuck in the daylight
You're scared and I know why
'Cause I'm the one that feels right

You're so heavy love, heavy love
Heavy love, heavy love, heavy love, heavy love
Heavy love, heavy love, heavy love, heavy love

That I dream of you when I'm upright
You use me as your nightlight
I sweat so much I skid by
Your tongue licks up all of my bites
A cigarette in the half light
We're beach bums we fuck in the daylight
You're scared and I know why
'Cause I'm the one that feels right

'Cause you're the one that feels right




'Cause you're the one that feels right
'Cause you're the one that feels right

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Yoke Lore's song "Heavy Love" depict the intensity and depth of emotion the singer feels towards their significant other. They describe their willingness to give everything they have to their loved one, represented metaphorically by giving them their "bends" and their "teeth" which bring them warmth and support. Additionally, the singer describes their physical attraction to their partner, unable to resist the urge to "lick slip between your knees" and "fight the ceiling" in their presence.


The singer also conveys their admiration and awe for their partner's grace and movement, likening them to a wave in their wake. They express their fear of how easily the words they speak of their love come to them, as the person has become ingrained in their very being. However, despite this fear, the singer remains fully committed to their partner, declaring that they dream of them and sweat for them.


The song then takes on a more introspective turn, as the singer reflects on the passage of time and the inevitability of death. They state that every bed they make is a coffin, and that the seasons change with the changing face of their partner when they reveal their secrets. However, not even the passage of time can weaken the singer's devotion, as they will continue to yell and proclaim their love for their partner, who has "won" them completely.


Overall, "Heavy Love" is a highly emotional and intense love song that captures both the passion and the fear that come with such an overpowering emotion.

@damienkaran7624

Just discovered them by buying tickets on a whim to an Elliot Moss show (didn't know who he was, either), and discovered two amazing artists.

Their performance at The Bowery Ballroom was just so energetic. Can't wait to see them again. They even used one of my photos that I took of them and boy am I so happy hahaha!!

Just imagine being on the set of this video. I mean I love it but the combination of what's going on seems like it would be sort of intense to watch.
