The Walls of the World
Unveiling Eternal Love: Walls of Emotion in Katie Melua's Melody
Lyrics
The sun is only shining like it always does
The sun is consistently shining, as it always does.
But I never noticed it in the sky before
The speaker, for the first time, notices the sun in the sky.
And you don't need to worry
Assurance to someone that they don't need to worry.
'Cause I need your love, my friend
Expressing a reliance on the love of the friend.
There's a strong kind of feeling when I know you're near
Feeling a strong and comforting emotion when the friend is nearby.
Nobody alive can take it away from me
Claiming that nobody alive can diminish this feeling.
And I feel like I've known you for a thousand years
Sense of deep connection, as if knowing the friend for a long time.
Bring it out into the light
Encouraging the expression of this emotion openly.
'Cause I think I'm gonna write it on the walls of the world
Expressing the intention to proclaim love publicly.
So everyone will know today, the love I hold for you
Stating the desire for everyone to be aware of the love held for the friend.
I will write it on the walls of the world
Reiterating the intention to write the love on the walls of the world.
So that the sun won't fade away the words I say to you
Ensuring that the expression of love remains enduring and unaffected by external factors.
I love you
Directly expressing love for the friend.
And I know I'm not a loser when I'm on my own
Claiming personal strength and resilience when alone.
I could be miles away in another land
Imagining being physically distant but emotionally connected.
And it keeps me together when I'm far from home
Highlighting the emotional support received when away from home.
I won't keep it out of sight
Commitment to keeping the love visible and not hidden.
And I think I'm gonna write it on the walls of the world
Repeating the desire to inscribe love on the walls of the world.
So everyone will know today, the love I hold for you
Reiterating the wish for widespread awareness of the love.
I will write it on the walls of the world
Confirming the intention to make the proclamation enduring.
So that the sun won't fade away the words I say to you
Ensuring that the expression of love remains unaffected by time.
I love you
Reaffirmation of love towards the friend.
