Gimme Love
radios Lyrics

by everyone you meet?

The lyrics of "Gimme Love" by The Radio are about the idolization and admiration of a famous person, the desire for their attention, and the sacrifices made by their fans.

The opening lines, "Lady of the sky, Lover child of space and time, Meet us on the surface, Give us all a purpose," suggest that the person being addressed is seen as transcendent and powerful, able to provide meaning and direction to their followers. The line "‘Cause we know that you're worth it, We know you're divine" emphasizes the belief in the person's exceptional qualities and value.

The next verse, "People really need you, They're hanging on your every line, Trying just to reach you, They swear that if they meet you, That everything will be just fine," portrays the fans' intense longing for connection and the hope that meeting the famous person will bring fulfillment and happiness. However, the repetition of "They don't even mind" suggests that the fans are willing to endure hardships and setbacks while waiting for their idol, showing their unwavering dedication.

In the chorus, the line "You're such a big deal, How's it feel being recognized by everyone you meet?" highlights the person's immense fame and the constant attention they receive. The lyrics then shift to a more personal perspective, with the lines "Every little notion, That's floating through your plastic mind, Is keeping me in motion, I'm craving your devotion." Here, the singer expresses their own infatuation and admiration, feeling driven and consumed by their devotion to the famous person.

The repetition of "But you don't even mind" reflects the one-sided nature of this relationship, as the famous person may not be aware or concerned about the impact they have on their fans. The final repetition of "You're such a big deal, How's it feel being recognized by everyone you meet?" reinforces the theme of the person's widespread recognition and encourages reflection on the effects of such fame on their life.

Overall, "Gimme Love" explores the dynamics of idolization, the longing for connection, and the sacrifices made by fans in their pursuit of recognition and validation from a famous person.
