There's No Such Thing as Love
Unveiling Heartache: Love's Illusion in Shirley Bassey's Melody
Lyrics
There's no such thing as love
Love does not exist.
There's no such thing at all
Nothing exists at all.
There's no such thing as love
Reiteration that love is nonexistent.
It's just a word that kids write on a wall
Love is merely a word casually written by young people on walls without true substance.
There's no such thing as loves
Emphasizing again that love is a non-existent concept.
Or sweet songs it's just the same old rhyme
Romantic expressions like sweet songs are dismissed as repetitive and lacking genuine meaning.
The poets chime and poets could be wrong
Questioning the credibility of poets and suggesting they could be mistaken about the nature of love.
There's no one just for me
Expressing a belief that there is no one specifically meant for the speaker.
To me they're all the same
Viewing people as interchangeable and not unique or special.
They're just an hours fun
Considering romantic encounters as brief and not significant beyond the momentary pleasure.
And then I run, to me it's just a game
Love is seen as a game, and the speaker engages in it without deeper emotional involvement.
There's no such thing as blue skies above
Negating the existence of pleasant and optimistic experiences, symbolized by blue skies, since the departure of a significant other.
'Cause since you said goodbye
Referring to the impact of a goodbye on the speaker's perception of the world.
There's no such thing
Reaffirming the absence of love.
There's no such thing as love
Restating the overarching theme that love is non-existent.
They're just an hours fun
Reiterating the transient and unimportant nature of romantic encounters.
And then I run, to me it's just a game
Continuing the idea that love is treated as a fleeting and inconsequential experience.
There's no such thing as blue skies above
Repeating the notion that positive and hopeful experiences, represented by blue skies, are absent after a farewell.
'Cause since you said goodbye
Reflecting on the impact of a goodbye and the emotional void left behind.
You left me high and dry
Highlighting the emotional abandonment experienced after the departure of a loved one.
'Cause since you said goodbye
Reiterating the emotional impact of a goodbye.
There's no such thing
Reaffirming the absence of love as a central theme.
There's no such thing as love
Concluding with a final assertion that love does not exist.
