Red Red Wine
harmony.fm: Neil Diamond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Faster than the wind
Passionate as sin, ended so suddenly
Loving him is like trying to change your mind
Once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn
So bright just before they lose it all
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met
But loving him was red
Loving him was red
Loving him was red
Touching him is like realizing all you ever wanted
Was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing
All the words to your old favorite song
Fighting with him was like trying to solve
A crossword and realizing there's no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing
You never found out love could be that strong
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met
But loving him was red
Oh burning red
Remembering him comes in
Flashbacks
And echoes
Tell myself it's
Time now
Gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible
When I still see it all in my head
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met
But loving him was red (It was red!)
But loving him was red (It was red yeah!)
Loving him was red (Red, red)
Loving him was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street
"Red Red Wine" was originally written and performed by Neil Diamond, but UB40 covered it and turned it into a hit in 1983. The lyrics, "Red Red Wine" are repeated throughout the song, more as a chant than a verse. However, the lyrics in between those lines speak of the ups and downs of love. The opening verse compares loving someone to driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street, which suggests that the relationship is exciting, passionate, and fast-paced, but it won't last long as it comes to a sudden end.
The second verse compares trying to forget someone to trying to know somebody you've never met. The line, "loving him is red," reinforces the idea that love is a powerful emotion. The chorus repeats the line, "Losing him was blue like I'd never known, Missing him was dark grey all alone," which refers to the feelings of sadness and loneliness after a breakup. In the end, the song suggests that moving on is difficult when you still carry memories of that love in your head.
