Reasons
Passionate Longings: Unveiling the Soulful Desires in Earth, Wind & Fire's 'Reasons'
Lyrics
Now, I'm craving your body, is this real?
Expressing a desire for physical intimacy and questioning its authenticity.
Temperatures rising, I don't want to feel
Feeling an increase in emotions, but wanting to avoid experiencing them.
I'm in the wrong place to be real
Feeling out of place or uncomfortable in the current situation.
Whoa, and I'm longing to love you, just for a night
Desiring to love someone passionately for a short period.
Kissing and hugging and holding you tight
Describing affectionate actions like kissing, hugging, and holding tightly.
Please let me love you with all my might
Asking for the opportunity to love intensely.
Reasons, the reasons that we're hear
Exploring the reasons for being in a particular situation or relationship.
The reasons that we fear
Highlighting the fears associated with these reasons.
Our feelings won't disappear, oh
Suggesting that feelings don't easily disappear.
And after the love game has been played
Reflecting on the conclusion of a romantic relationship or interaction.
All our illusions were just a parade
Realizing that previous beliefs or hopes were merely for show.
And all our reasons start to fade
Noticing that the motivations behind actions are starting to diminish.
La, la la la, la
Repeating nonsensical syllables, perhaps as a vocal expression.
La, la la, la
-La, la la, la
-La, la la, la
-La, la la, la
-La, la la, la
-La, la la, la
-After all our reasons why (all our reasons why)
Questioning the validity of all previously stated reasons.
All our reasons were a lie (all our reasons were a lie)
Acknowledging that the previously given reasons were false.
After all ours reasons love
After all the justifications for love, it was discarded.
Love was left aside (love)
Love was neglected or set aside amidst all those reasons.
I'm longing to love you for one night
Reiterating the desire to love intensely, pleading for the chance to do so.
Please let me love you with all of my might, baby
-Ooh, baby
-Yeah, reasons, the reasons that we're hear
Revisiting and emphasizing the reasons behind a situation or relationship.
The reasons that we fear
Highlighting the fear that feelings won't vanish easily.
Our feelings won't disappear (they won't disappear)
Reiterating the persistence of emotions.
And after the love games has been played
Reflecting on the conclusion of a romantic relationship or interaction (repeated).
All our illusions were just a parade
Understanding that past hopes or beliefs were merely for display (repeated).
And all the reasons start to fade
Noting the diminishing motivations behind actions (repeated).
And, in the morning when I rise
Expressing a change in perspective upon waking up.
No longer feeling hypnotized
No longer feeling captivated or enchanted.
Find our reasons, our reasons, our reasons
Realizing the absence of justifiable reasons and a lack of self-respect.
Had no pride
After all our reasons why (after all the reasons why)
Confirming that the reasons given before were untrue (repeated).
All our reasons were a lie (all of our reasons were a lie)
After all explanations for love, it was discarded (repeated).
After all ours reasons love (ohh(
Love was neglected or set aside amidst all those reasons (repeated).
Love was left aside (love)
Hey, ha-ha, yeah
Expressing emotional frustration and confusion.
Ohh, why, yeah, ooh, baby
-I can't find the reasons
Continued frustration in understanding why love persists despite the absence of apparent reasons.
That my love won't disappear
-Can't find the reasons
-Why I love you, baby, my dear
-Can't find the reasons
-Wanna love you all night
-Can't find the reasons
-Gotta squeeze ya, real tight
-Can't find the reasons
-Baby, yeah
-For my tears
-Can't find the reasons why I love you
Expressing a perplexing inability to find reasons for loving someone despite emotional attachment.
