Not Fade Away
Eternal Love's Resilience: Florence + the Machine's 'Not Fade Away'
Lyrics
I'm a-gonna tell you how it's gonna be
I will explain the nature of our relationship
You're gonna give your love to me
You will express your love for me
I wanna love you night and day
I desire to love you continuously, day and night
You know my love a-not fade away
My love will not diminish or disappear
A-well, you know my love a-not fade away
Reiteration that my love will not fade away
My love a-bigger than a Cadillac
My love is substantial, likened to a Cadillac
I try to show it and you drive a-me back
I attempt to demonstrate my love, but it causes conflict
Your love for me a-got to be real
Your love for me must be genuine
For you to know just how I feel
For you to understand my emotions completely
A love for real not fade away
A sincere and enduring love that does not fade away
I'm a-gonna tell you how it's gonna be
Reiteration of describing the relationship
You're gonna give your love to me
You will give your love to me, reinforcing commitment
A love to last more than one day
A love that lasts beyond a single day
'Cause love for real, won't fade away
Emphasizing that true love does not fade away
A well, a-love that's love, not fade away
Reiteration that genuine love endures
You're gonna give your love to me
Repeat of the expectation for your love
A love to last more than one day
Desiring a lasting love beyond a day
'Cause love is love, not fade away
A declaration that love persists and does not fade away
'Cause love is love, not fade away
Repetition emphasizing the enduring nature of love
'Cause love is love, not fade away
Continued emphasis on the lasting quality of love
Love is love, not fade away
Summary statement that love does not fade away
Love is love, love is love
Affirmation that love is constant and unchanging
Not fade away
Reiteration that love will not fade away
Love is love, love is love, love is love
Repeated affirmation of the enduring nature of love
Not fade away
Final emphasis that love does not fade away
