Wouldn't Know Love
Discovering Love Beyond Feeling: Insights from 'Wouldn't Know Love' by Slim & The Beast
Lyrics
I am a bridge over the river
I symbolize a connection between two paths.
That brings two roads together
I unite two separate journeys.
I was the sunset at the beach house that glowed on holding hands
I represent the picturesque moment of a sunset at a beach house, emphasizing the intimacy of holding hands.
If I were a kite, light as a feather, looking as lovers come together
If I were a kite, I would witness the lightness and beauty as lovers come together.
Then I wouldn’t know love
If I were in that scenario, I wouldn't understand the essence of love.
And I wouldn’t know pain
I would also be unaware of pain.
I don’t need to feel to love
I don't rely on personal experiences to feel love.
Rather give it away
I am willing to selflessly give love away.
Then I wouldn’t know love
Continuation: In that case, I would miss out on the understanding of love.
And I wouldn’t know pain
Continuation: I would be oblivious to the concept of pain.
I don’t need to feel to love
Continuation: My ability to love wouldn't be dependent on personal emotions.
Rather give it away
Continuation: I am more inclined to share love rather than hold onto it.
A glass of wine at the party
Shifting to a different metaphor: I am like a glass of wine at a party.
That brings you to the dance floor,
My presence at the party brings people to the dance floor.
That feeling, it’s magic, so many wish they had it
Describing the magical feeling many desire at the party.
But I’d rather be a beautiful mirror reflecting the love as it comes clearer
However, I prefer to be a beautiful mirror reflecting love as it becomes clearer.
Then I wouldn’t know love
Reiteration: If I were a mirror, I wouldn't comprehend love.
And I wouldn’t know pain
Reiteration: Pain would be a foreign concept to me.
I don’t need to feel to love
Reiteration: My ability to love is not tied to personal feelings.
Rather give it away
Reiteration: I am more inclined to share love generously.
Then I wouldn’t know love
Continuation: If I were a mirror, love would elude my understanding.
And I wouldn’t know pain
Continuation: Pain would be a mystery to me.
I don’t need to feel to love
Continuation: I don't require personal emotions to express and give love.
Rather give it away
Continuation: I am willing to share love selflessly.
