Like Lightning
Love's Elemental Dance: Lightning, Wind, and Ocean
Lyrics
My love it is like lightning
Love is compared to lightning, unpredictable and intense.
It's there and then it's not
Love can appear suddenly and disappear just as quickly.
And if you're standing close to it be careful 'cause it's hot
A warning about the intensity of love, cautioning those close to it.
And lightning never strikes twice
Emphasizes the rarity of significant romantic events.
So careful where you stand
Advises being cautious about where one stands in love.
And wear your rubber booties if I'm not your kind of man
Suggests protection (rubber booties) if the person is not the right match.
And I need to think things over
Expresses the need for contemplation and consideration.
I need to think things through
Reiterates the need for thoughtful reflection.
But I'm through with thinking so I'll underline the overview
Decision to stop overthinking and focus on the bigger picture.
I'd like to talk to you dear
Expresses a desire to communicate.
But you can read my mind
Acknowledges the ability of the partner to understand without words.
So I'll save my breath fro blowing one more chance of a lifetime
Choosing not to waste words on another missed opportunity.
My love is like the wind dear
Compares love to the wind, volatile and variable in strength.
It whistles when it's strong
Highlights the sound of love when it is intense.
And whenever it dies down it doesn't stay that way for long
Love doesn't stay calm for long; it has fluctuations.
It's known to change direction
Love can change direction unexpectedly.
It's known to swirl about
Love can swirl around, creating chaos.
It's known to 'cause destruction so lookout, lookout, lookout
Warning about the potential destructive nature of love.
And I need to think things over
Repetition of the need for contemplation.
I need to think things through
Reiterates the importance of thoughtful consideration.
But I'm through with thinking so I'll underline the overview
Decision to stop overthinking and focus on the bigger picture.
I'd like to talk to you girl
Expresses a desire to communicate with a woman.
But you can read my mind
Acknowledges the woman's ability to understand without words.
So I'll save my breath for blowing one more chance of a lifetime
Choosing not to waste words on another missed opportunity.
I've been having this dream where I'm floating on the breeze
Describes a dream of floating freely and choosing destinations.
And everywhere I stop is where I wanna be
The dream reflects a desire for freedom and choice.
But I never stick around to see the scenery
Avoidance of settling down, perhaps due to uncertainty.
Oh, is it me or just some stupid dream, some stupid dream
Questioning whether the dream is foolish or meaningful.
My love is like the ocean
Compares love to the vastness and unpredictability of the ocean.
And the waves are crashing in
Describes love as powerful and sometimes overwhelming.
It takes some getting used to but it gets warmer once you're in
Emphasizes that love becomes more comfortable with time.
So from here to the horizon
Expresses the abundance and expansiveness of the speaker's love.
My love it overflows
The speaker's love is described as overflowing without hesitation.
It has no fear and no regrets or so the story goes
Love is portrayed as fearless with no remorse, following a common narrative.
And I need to think things over
Repetition of the need for contemplation.
I need to think things through
Reiterates the importance of thoughtful consideration.
But I'm through with thinking so I'll underline the overview
Decision to stop overthinking and focus on the bigger picture.
I'd like to talk to you girl
Expresses a desire to communicate with a woman.
But can read my mind
Acknowledges the woman's ability to understand without words.
So I'll save my breath for blowing one more chance of a lifetime
Choosing not to waste words on another missed opportunity.
