Lyrics
Nobody knows my love
Nobody is aware of my love.
Nobody knows my love
Reiteration that nobody knows about the love being referred to.
In the Gods we hide away
We hide our love in a place associated with gods or a higher power.
And nobody ever looks up
No one ever pays attention or notices our love.
Like the heavy summer haze
Comparing the secrecy of the love to the thick, oppressive atmosphere of summer.
I don't see past my love
The speaker is unable to see beyond their own love.
He wakes my quietly
Describing how the lover wakes the speaker gently.
With a kiss that lingers like evergreen
The lover's kiss is enduring and reminiscent of evergreen, symbolizing eternal love.
We drift so sweet
They navigate through life together in a sweet and harmonious way.
And with his eyes he speaks to me silently
The lover communicates silently through their eyes.
Nobody knows my love
Reiteration that the love is a secret known only to the two involved.
Nobody knows but us
Emphasizing the exclusivity of the love, known only to them.
There's a world out there
There is a world outside trying to keep them apart.
That would keep us apart
External forces that pose a threat to their relationship.
Let's stay where
Suggesting a desire to remain in a safe, hidden place.
We're safe in the dark
Highlighting the safety they feel in the secrecy of their love.
Nobody knows my love
Reiteration of the secrecy surrounding the speaker's love.
For how long we've been this way
Reflecting on the duration of their concealed love.
And ever if it rains, my love
Even in challenging times, like rain, the love persists.
Oh, there'll be hurricanes
Symbolizing the potential hardships with the mention of hurricanes.
And rivers will come rushing through the gates
Anticipating challenges with the metaphor of rushing rivers breaking through gates.
But know that we'll land somewhere
Expressing confidence that they will find a stable place despite challenges.
Know that we'll have somewhere
Assurance that they will have a place to land, indicating resilience.
'Til it all evaporates, mmh
Even if everything disappears, there is confidence in their enduring love.
There's a world there
Reiteration of external forces trying to separate them.
That would keep us apart
Choosing to remain in the safety of their concealed love.
Let's stay where
Emphasizing the preference for the security found in the dark.
We're safe in the dark
Blank line, possibly signaling a reflective pause or a shift in tone.
Nobody knows my love
No one knows about the love except the two involved.
Nobody knows but us
Final confirmation of the confidentiality of their love.
