Lifeline
Living in Love's Lifeline: Spandau Ballet's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Changing her colours she's off to the shore
Expressing a change or transformation as she heads to the shore.
She rides the soul train and he fight the law
Metaphorically describing their journey, she on the "soul train," he fighting against the law.
There's a power in his voice and it makes her feel so sure
Highlighting the powerful impact of his voice, instilling confidence in her.
So live and live in love
Encouragement to live life fully and embrace love.
One day he'll build a statue with his hands
Imagining a future accomplishment where he builds a statue with his hands.
So gentle when he tries to understand
Describing his gentle nature when attempting to comprehend things.
This subterfuge he never really planned
Hinting at unplanned actions or strategies.
Now you're living in the lifeline
Emphasizing the theme of living in the lifeline, urging to live and let live in love.
We're moving
-In the lifeline
-We're walking
-In the lifeline
-We're throwing
-So live and let live in love
-Exchanging their letters their exits begun
Describing the exchange of letters as a departure begins.
With deathless precision he's aiming his gun
Portraying precision and seriousness, possibly in a challenging situation.
A democracy of sorts that justifies the sun
Suggesting a justification for decisions through a democratic process connected to the sun.
So live and let live in love
Reiterating the call to live and let live in love.
Neither has the ghost of a chance
Expressing slim chances for success or survival.
Those decisions only can be made once
Highlighting the irrevocability of certain decisions.
You never really know just what you're giving
Reflecting on the uncertainty of the consequences of one's actions.
Till you're living in the lifeline
Reiterating the theme of living in the lifeline and promoting love and understanding.
We're moving
-In the lifeline
-We're walking
-In the lifeline
-We're throwing
-So live and let live in love
-Ooh, he could have built a statue with his hands
Revisiting the idea of building a statue and the ambiguity of giving in relationships.
So gentle when he tries to understand
-You never really know just what you're giving
-Now you're living in the lifeline
Continuing the call to live and let live in love, despite personal struggles.
We're moving
-In the lifeline
-We're walking
-In the lifeline
-We're throwing to you
-But I'm not living
-So live and let live in love
Final encouragement to embrace love and live harmoniously.
Lifeline
Repeating the theme of living in the lifeline and the importance of love.
In the lifeline
-In the lifeline
-So live and let live in love
-Lifeline
-In the lifeline
-In the lifeline
