Love Child
Unraveling Love's Tapestry: Scapa Flow's Tale of Changing Hearts
Lyrics
He met a girl
Introduction of a male character meeting a girl
She met a man
Introduction of a female character meeting a man
He took her hand
The man takes the woman's hand, indicating a connection
A familiar tale
Describes their relationship as a familiar story
A family
Reference to the formation of a family
For evermore
Expresses a commitment to the family lasting forever
But love ain't sure
Indicates uncertainty in love
They need to feel the same
Emphasizes the importance of mutual feelings in love
Another lie, another fight
Introduction of conflict with lies and fights
The fault is all you know
Suggests familiarity with faults in the relationship
And over time they change their minds
Implies changes in feelings over time
Too late
Indicates a realization of consequences but too late
Well you walked out and it's plain now
Acknowledges someone walking away and the uncertainty that follows
And I'll never know
Expresses the speaker's lack of understanding about the situation
As it worked out I'm no love child
States that the speaker is not a "love child," possibly meaning not born out of genuine love
They won't feel that, my babies
Suggests that the speaker's own children won't experience that love
Every child
Introduces the theme of every child
You feel it's real
States that the feeling is real for every child
And every time
Highlights the belief that wounds can heal with time
They say these wounds can heal
Suggests that love is present in every instance
In every heart
Refers to the universality of love in every heart and hand
In every hand
Symbolizes the fleeting nature of time with each grain of sand
Each grain of sand
Describes the gradual loss or slipping away of something
Is slipping away
Blank line, possibly indicating a pause or reflection
And over time your state of mind
Expresses the evolution of one's state of mind over time
Becomes not what it was
Suggests a divergence from the original state of mind
And then you try to justify
Describes the attempt to justify one's beliefs in the face of fate
Your faith to fate
Concludes with a reference to faith and fate
