Give You Love
thenewno2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And now that you're all right I'm on the ground
Wonder how did I become this vermin frau?
And how do I begin to turn around?
I thought it was okay to joke around
But no one's laughin' now, so I've found
It's terrible to think that I messed it up
Woah, woah, woah
Love
Woah, woah, woah
Love
You always wanted more
You had to have it all
You could not get it
You never did learn just to let it go-oh
You are wakin' from my dream
And the nightmare's all its been
Don't let it catch ya
You're never quite here 'cause you're half alseep
I think of all the trouble going down
I think of where you're really headed now
I never saw the black clouds a-loomin' up above
I told you all I do is give you love
Woah, woah, woah
Love
Woah, woah, woah
Love
Love
Love
Love
Wo-ooo, wo-ooo
Wo-ooo, wo-ooo
Wo-ooo, wo-ooo
The lyrics of thenewno2's "Give You Love" tell a story of regret and self-reflection. The singer starts by acknowledging that they were not there for their loved one when they were down and now that they are back on their feet, the singer finds themselves on the ground. They question how they became this 'vermin frau' and wonder how they can turn things around. They thought it was okay to joke around, but now that no one is laughing, they realize that they messed everything up. Despite this, all they want to do is give love to their partner. They think of all the trouble that has happened and where their partner might be headed, and they regret not being there during the tough times.
The second verse starts with their partner always wanting more and never being satisfied. They could not let things go and are now waking up from the singer's dream. The singer realizes that it has all been a nightmare and doesn't want it to catch their partner. However, their partner is never quite present because they are half asleep. The singer ends the song repeating the word 'love,' seemingly trying to convey that despite all the mistakes they have made, their love for their partner remains.
Overall, the song is a poignant reminder of how important it is to be there for loved ones during tough times and not take them for granted. It shows the importance of self-reflection and the realization that sometimes, all a person can do is give love.
