Radical
Love Unveiled: Embracing Authenticity in the Face of Judgment
Lyrics
It's all right, we're gonna be fine
Expressing reassurance that everything will be okay.
But let's give my mama and my daddy a little time
Suggesting the need for understanding and patience from the speaker's parents.
'Cause I've been good up 'till now
Reflecting on the speaker's past behavior, implying a change in the current situation.
They see you and they think that I have changed somehow
Highlighting the perception of change by the speaker's parents when they see the person the speaker is involved with.
But I'm not being radical when I kiss you
Clarifying that the speaker's actions, particularly kissing, are not driven by a desire to be revolutionary or extreme.
I don't love you to make a point
Emphasizing that love is not used as a tool for making a statement or proving a point.
It's the hollow of my heart that cries when I miss you
Expressing deep emotional connection by referring to the heart's longing when apart from the loved one.
And it keeps me alive when we're apart.
Stating that the love shared is a source of vitality during physical separation.
We go downtown, some people they stare
Describing the public reactions, both positive and negative, when the couple goes out together.
But there are lots of people who really don't care
Noting that there are people who are indifferent to the relationship and don't pass judgment.
I just want to hold your hand
Expressing a simple desire for physical closeness without wanting to make a political or social statement.
I don't feel like making some big stand
Rejecting the idea of taking a strong and explicit stance for the relationship.
'Cause I'm not being radical when I kiss you
Reiterating that the speaker's actions, like kissing, are not meant to be revolutionary.
I don't love you to make a point
Reaffirming that love is not used as a means to make a statement or prove a point.
It's the hollow of my heart that cries when I miss you
Expressing the emotional impact of missing the loved one on a deeper level, from the heart.
And it keeps me alive when we're apart.
Highlighting the sustaining power of love during physical separation.
It's all right, we're gonna be fine
Reassuring that despite challenges, everything will be fine.
Even if this world is taking so much time
Acknowledging the slow progress of societal acceptance but expressing confidence in the relationship's strength.
And though I mind what people say
Acknowledging awareness of people's opinions but asserting that love surpasses words.
Love is stronger than any words anyway.
Affirming that love is more potent than societal judgments and criticisms.
And I'm not radical when I kiss you
Reiterating that the speaker's actions, such as kissing, are not intended to be radical.
I don't love you to make a point
Restating that love is not used as a tool for making a statement or proving a point.
It's the hollow of my heart that cries when I miss you
Emphasizing the emotional depth of missing the loved one from the heart.
And it keeps me alive when we're apart.
Affirming that love is a source of life and sustenance during physical separation.
