Wrong Kind
Unmasking Illusions: True Love vs. Hollywood Romance
Lyrics
That isn't love that you have
Love is not genuine in the situation described.
It's just like on the TV
Comparing the situation to artificial portrayals on TV.
Or maybe on a movie
Ornaments the idea that this love is like a scripted movie.
It's love that leaves you there, empty
Real love should not leave one feeling emotionally empty.
Know that that's not love you see
Emphasizing the misconception of the portrayed love.
It's love that leaves you there, empty
Reiterating that this love results in emotional emptiness.
Love isn't a fading word that one might say
Love is not just a spoken word, but a meaningful action.
Love isn't a long, long kiss or something that you make
Love is not merely physical, but enduring and selfless.
Love never, ever seeks itself
Love is selfless and not self-seeking.
It serves when been spat on
Illustrating love's endurance even in difficult circumstances.
Even in bad health
Love is present even during health challenges.
'Cause you love her for what you get
Highlighting the importance of loving for the sake of the other person.
You've loved a long time, but that's the wrong kind
Expressing regret for having experienced the wrong kind of love for a long time.
We see it almost everywhere
Observing that misrepresented love is prevalent in society.
Does fashion own morality?
Raising a question about the relationship between fashion and morality.
It's love that's in the movies
Referencing the portrayal of love in movies.
A love that leaves you there, empty
Reiterating that movie-like love leads to emptiness.
Know that that's not love you see
Emphasizing the misinterpretation of love in the mentioned context.
A love that leaves you there, empty
Repeating the idea that this love results in emotional emptiness.
So are you listening, I've got so much to say
Addressing the need for attentive listening and the speaker's desire to communicate.
You've gotta understand that love isn't this way
Stressing that love is not supposed to be in the described manner.
Love lasts more than one day
Contrasting genuine love with fleeting experiences.
Sex mass marketing, it's in the magazines
Highlighting the commercialization of sex in media and magazines.
It's in society, in the majority
Pointing out the prevalence of misleading ideas about love in society.
That's not love that you see
Reiterating that what is commonly perceived as love is not genuine.
Oh
Final emphasis on the falseness of the portrayed love.
