Locked and Loaded
Eternal Love Unveiled: Johnny Clegg's 'Locked and Loaded' Journey
Lyrics
Out of the rain into my seat
Seeking refuge from difficulties or problems and finding a place to settle down.
On that train you looked so sweet
Observing someone attractive on a train.
I asked you your name
Politely asking for the person's name.
You said 'What is to you, stupid game
Rebuking the question, considering it a trivial or unimportant inquiry.
You think I'm a fool
Expressing frustration or annoyance at being perceived as foolish.
And I say to you
Conveying a philosophical idea that everything, even powerful or enduring things, will eventually come to an end.
In time even the sun will die
Reflecting on the inevitability of the demise of powerful entities like the sun.
In time even the strong will cry
Emphasizing that even the strong and resilient individuals have moments of vulnerability and emotional expression.
In time even the weak will fly
Suggesting that even those considered weak or fragile will eventually overcome and transcend their limitations.
In time it will be just you and I
Implying a future scenario where only the singer and the addressed person will remain.
I feel the winds of change
Sensing a significant change approaching in life.
Blowing through my life
Feeling the impact of significant changes sweeping through personal circumstances.
I'm locked and loaded
Confident and prepared to pursue a romantic relationship.
I'm gonna make you mine
Expressing determination to win the affection of the person addressed.
Oh, in this wide world it's
Amidst the vastness of the world, expressing a commitment to choosing only the addressed person.
Only you I choose i'm locked and loaded
Reiterating the resolution to marry the person addressed.
I'm gonna marry you

Awubona-Ngani, Ngyakuthanda
Expressing affection in a different language (Zulu).
Why do you not see that I love you
Expressing confusion or frustration at the person's inability to perceive the singer's love.
I like it that you push me away
Appreciating the person's honesty and directness in interactions.
I like it that you mean what you say
Appreciating sincerity and authenticity in the person's communication.
I like it that I see no pretense
Admiring the absence of pretense or falseness in the person's behavior.
I like it that your smile
Appreciating the genuineness of the person's smile as a defense mechanism.
Is your best defense
Believing that barriers and obstacles in their relationship will eventually break.
In time we will break these walls
Anticipating the eventual liberation from constraints and limitations.
In time these chains will fall
Expressing hope that even those unaware will eventually understand the singer's feelings.
In time even the blind will see
Believing that the addressed person will eventually recognize and acknowledge the singer's presence or love.
In time you will turn and find me
Feeling the impact of significant changes sweeping through personal circumstances.
I feel the winds of change
Confident and prepared to pursue a romantic relationship.
Blowing through my life
Expressing determination to win the affection of the person addressed.
I'm locked and loaded
Amidst the vastness of the world, expressing a commitment to choosing only the addressed person.
I'm gonna make you mine
Reiterating the resolution to marry the person addressed.
Oh, in this wide world it's
