Lyrics
Where did love put me
Feeling lost or disoriented in love.
If not on the map
Questioning the tangible existence or recognition of love.
When the bug bit me
Reflecting on a moment when love took hold.
In such a tender trap
Describing love as a delicate and captivating situation.
And where does love go then
Exploring the destination of love after a significant encounter.
With it's heralded response
Referring to love's anticipated or expected reaction.
It takes what it can carry
Love selectively carries experiences, perhaps memories, with it.
Back to the blue swamps
Returning to a metaphorical "blue swamps," possibly a place of emotional depth or complexity.
A whole half century
Summarizing a significant span of time filled with conflicts and discussions.
Of debacle and debate
Describing a period marked by difficulties and differing opinions.
From the first wet dream
From early experiences to later, possibly referring to a lifetime of love.
To the last drunken date
From the initial stages of love to its conclusion during a intoxicated encounter.
You basically renew
Restarting or refreshing the commitment to love.
The de-vows of the devout
Renouncing previous commitments to love, possibly a comment on changing perspectives.
You live to get in
Living life with the aim of entering various experiences, especially in relationships.
Until you die to get out
Expressing a willingness to escape or end the cycle of seeking love.
Have you never had a triad
Questioning the listener's experience with complex relationships.
Then how can you know
Suggesting that understanding love requires experiencing complex relationships.
Which one is love
Highlighting the challenge of recognizing true love when other elements fade away.
When the other lets go
Pointing out the difficulty in identifying love when other emotions or connections are severed.
Of emotions bundled in song
Describing the complexities of emotions expressed through music.
When definitions unwrap
When the definitions of emotions become apparent or revealed.
Where then did love get you
Reflecting on where love has taken the individual, echoing the question from line 2.
If not on the map
Reiterating the theme of questioning the location or existence of love.
