Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When truth brings you heartache
It's so hard to believe
When love hits the wall
Love is
My faith in you
When it could have ended
Love is
Everything I need to live
Love is
Everything that we forgive
Love is
Every crime of passion
That's what love is
Where would I go'
What would I do'
What would it mean'
To meet a perfect stranger
Why do we hurt'
Who draws the line'
When do we learn to look inside'
What love is
So many years
You can't take for granted
You can't take away
All the things you are
Together so long
I know where my heart is
Somewhere in me
(Oh yes)
I'll find a way to show
Love is
Every lesson we have learned
Love is
Every soft unspoken word
Love is
Every crime of passion
That's what love is
Where would I go'
What would I do'
What would it mean'
To meet a perfect stranger
Why do we hurt'
Who draws the line'
When do we learn to look inside'
Everything I need to live
Love is
Everything that we forgive
Love is
Every crime of passion
That's what love is
Love is
Every lesson we have learned
Love is
Every soft unspoken word
Love is
Every crime of passion
That's what love is
In "Love is", Daltrey Roger sings about the complexities of love and relationships. The song begins by acknowledging the challenges that come with loving someone, especially when the truth creates heartache. Yet it's still so hard to let go, to believe and move on when love hits the wall. The chorus, however, conveys a hopeful message about the positive aspects of love: it's about faith, trust, forgiveness, passion, and the invaluable lessons learned in relationships.
As the song progresses, Daltrey poses some thought-provoking questions about love: Where would I go if I didn't have you in my life? What would it mean to meet a perfect stranger? Why do we hurt each other? Who draws the line, and when will we learn to look inside? In essence, the song is asking us to reflect on how we think and feel about love, and to recognize its power and importance in our lives.
The final verse offers a fitting conclusion to the song's message, asserting that we can't take love for granted. We must be mindful of the years we have with our loved ones and cherish every moment, recognizing that they make us who we are. And, ultimately, we must find ways to show our love, through the good times and the bad, in order to reap its many rewards.
Overall, "Love is" is a poignant and heartfelt tribute to the many dimensions of love. Through its lyrics, Daltrey Roger reminds us that love is essential to our lives and well-being, and that it is worth fighting for, even when the going gets tough.
