Lyrics
We're all looking for a love as strong as death
We are all searching for a love that is as powerful and enduring as death.
That's part of our mind and part of our flesh
This longing is ingrained in both our thoughts and physical being.
Looking for a love that takes away our breath
Desiring a love that leaves us breathless.
It's equally heart and equally head
This love encompasses both the emotional and intellectual aspects.
To be a wave that crashes over us
Yearning to experience a powerful force like a crashing wave.
To be a wave that crashes over us
-Like summer rain that washes over, over us
Comparing this force to the refreshing and cleansing nature of summer rain.
Like summer rain that washes over
-Looking for a love as strong as death
Reiterating the quest for a love as potent as death.
It's equally heart and equally head
Emphasizing the balance between heart and mind in this pursuit.
And I wonder if this love
Expressing curiosity about whether the love mentioned earlier...
That people say is as strong as death
...referred to as strong as death...
Is out there somewhere (or just in their heads)
...exists tangibly or if it's a mere perception in people's minds.
Is it a wave that crashes over us?
Pondering if this love manifests as a crashing wave...
Is it a wave that crashes over us?
-Or summer rain that washes over, over us
...or as summer rain, symbolizing the different ways it may affect us.
Or summer rain that washes over, over us
-Over us
Repeating the idea of this force being "over us," possibly indicating its encompassing nature.
Over us
-Over us
-It's over
Concluding with the statement that it's over, leaving room for interpretation—whether the quest is fulfilled or the pursuit has ended.
