Lyrics

There's a whisper in the wires, no love

There's a sense of unease or negativity in the communication channels, and love is absent.

Of a black train-a-comin', no love

Reference to a foreboding event symbolized by a black train, and love is lacking in this context.

From the heart of the desert, no love

No love emanates from the heart of the desert, suggesting a barren or harsh emotional landscape.

And the rhythms of my hometown

The familiar beats of the speaker's hometown lack the warmth or affection associated with love.


My eyes are open, no love

The speaker is alert and aware but devoid of love in their perception.

Watching for the train, no love, no love

Despite vigilance, there is no love as the speaker anticipates the arrival of a train.

Just a breath across the ocean

A distant and unconnected breath across the ocean, representing a lack of emotional closeness or empathy.

Feel no love

There is an absence of love, possibly indicating a lack of emotional connection or fulfillment.

If it flies, it dies

An expression suggesting a lack of compassion or remorse when something or someone is destroyed.


Flags into a pocket, no love

Flags, possibly symbolic of identity or allegiance, are pocketed without love, indicating a sense of detachment.

We're standing on a platform

The speaker is in a specific location, but there's a lack of emotional connection or love.

Feel no love

No love is felt, emphasizing an emotional void even in a collective setting.

In everyone a hook line, no love, no love

Each person has a hook line, suggesting manipulative or insincere motives, and there is no love in these interactions.

Against me making time

There is opposition to the speaker's efforts, and love is absent during this struggle.

Feel no love

Despite challenges, there is no love experienced, indicating emotional emptiness.


Whisper in the wires, no love

A repetition of the idea of a whisper in the wires, emphasizing the persistent lack of love in communication.

Of a black train-a-comin', no love, no love

A recurring theme of a foreboding black train with an absence of love associated with it.

From the heart of the desert, no love

Reiteration of the lack of love from the heart of the desert, emphasizing emotional desolation.

And the rhythms of my hometown

The rhythms of the hometown, repeated, continue to lack the emotional warmth of love.

And the rhythms of my hometown

Repetition of the idea, underscoring the persistent absence of love in the speaker's hometown.

Feel no love

Despite the rhythms, there is no love, emphasizing emotional void even in familiar surroundings.

And the rhythms of my hometown

Repetition of the rhythms of the hometown, concluding with the continued absence of love.
