When Love Struck You Down
When Love Strikes: Triumphs and Turmoil
Lyrics
So you're back on top again
Expressing the return to a position of success or achievement.
Proving everybody wrong
Defying the expectations and opinions of others.
But I recall the days
Reflecting on a past time when the person was not as resilient or confident.
You didn't feel so strong
Recalling a period of vulnerability and emotional weakness.
When love struck you down
Referring to a moment when love had a profound and negative impact.
You thought that you were bound to die
Feeling overwhelmed and convinced of impending emotional demise.
From all the pain inside
Describing the internal suffering caused by love.
When love struck you down
Reiterating the significant pain experienced when love was distressing.
When they were handing out the brains
During the distribution of intelligence, being among the first to receive it.
You were at the head of the queue
Highlighting intellectual prowess, possibly in contrast to emotional intelligence.
But once she got inside your heart
Once love entered the heart, intelligence became ineffective or irrelevant.
They were no use to you
Intelligence couldn't prevent the impact of love.
When love struck you down
Revisiting the experience of being emotionally struck by love.
No one else was fooled
Others could see through the facade, recognizing the true emotional state.
Fear and madness ruled
During the emotional turmoil, fear and irrationality took control.
When love struck you down you weren't there
Being absent or emotionally unavailable when love was present.
When she was everywhere her face, her name
Her presence was ubiquitous, but emotional connection was lacking.
But no matter what you said
Despite words spoken, the emotional connection was not reciprocated.
She never felt the same
Her feelings remained unchanged regardless of expressions of love.
When love struck you down
Reflecting on the desperate prayers during the painful impact of love.
Oh how hard you prayed
Expressing the intensity of prayers seeking divine intervention.
But God didn't come to your aid
God did not provide assistance during the crisis of love.
When love struck you down
Reiterating the profound impact of love and the lack of divine intervention.
When love struck you down
Repeating the idea of being struck down by love.
You felt like you were bound to die
Recalling the overwhelming pain and the sense of impending emotional demise.
From all the pain inside
Reiterating the internal suffering caused by the impact of love.
When love struck you down
Emphasizing the intense emotional pain experienced when love struck.
When love struck you down
Repeating the notion that others were not deceived by the impact of love.
No one else was fooled
During the emotional turmoil, fear and irrationality took control again.
Fear and madness ruled
Reiterating the absence of others' deception when love struck.
When love struck you down
Concluding the impact of love with a repetition of fear and madness.
