Chemical
Unyielding Love: Jack Garratt's Powerful Ode to Unforgiving Passion
Lyrics
My love is overdone, selfish and domineering
Love is excessive, self-centered, and controlling
It won't sit up on the shelf
Love is not easily put aside or ignored
So don't try to reason with my love
Don't attempt to rationalize or negotiate with this love
My love is powerful, ruthless and unforgiving
Love possesses immense strength, lacks mercy, and is unyielding
It won't think beyond itself
It's self-absorbed and doesn't consider others
So don't try to reason with my love
Reasoning with this love is futile
And when you pray, he will not answer
Prayers directed towards this love may go unanswered
Although you may hear voices on your mind
Despite hearing inner voices, they won't be compassionate
They won't be kind
The voices or thoughts won't be gentle or benevolent
My love won't reason
This love doesn't listen to reason
Loosen up the chains that bound you
Suggests freeing oneself from restrictions imposed by this love
Don't try to reason with my love
Attempts to negotiate or reason with this love are futile
My love is chemical, shallow and chauvinistic
Love is likened to a chemical, superficial, and male-centric
It's an arrogant display
It's an arrogant and conceited manifestation
So don't try to reason with my love
Reasoning or arguing with this love is pointless
And when you pray, he will not answer
Prayers to this love might not yield responses
I know this for I ask him all the time
The singer has sought answers from this love without success
To reassure my mind
Seeking reassurance or peace of mind from this love
My love won't reason
Love remains impervious to logic or rationale
Loosen up the chains that bound you
Encouragement to break free from the constraints of this love
My love won't reason
Love remains obstinate and unyielding
Break away the walls surrounding you
Encouragement to dismantle the barriers surrounding oneself
My love won't reason
Love refuses to comply with reason
Free you from the pain you're captive by
To liberate oneself from the pain imposed by this love
Don't try to reason with my love
Efforts to reason with this love are futile
(My love won't reason)
Reiteration that this love is impervious to logic
(Loosen up the chains that bound you)
Encouragement to break free from the constraints imposed by this love
(My love won't reason)
Reaffirmation that this love remains irrational
(My love)
Reiteration of the nature of this overpowering love
(My love won't reason)
Repetition of the idea that this love defies reason
(Loosen up the chains that bound you)
Encouragement to break free from the restrictions of this love
