Is Love
Unveiling Life's Greatest Revelation
Lyrics
She stares into the mirror
She is looking at herself in the mirror.
Youth fading with the sun
Her youth is diminishing, akin to the setting sun.
The hollows in her face
The sunken areas on her face resemble wells, possibly portraying emptiness.
Like wishing wells
The sunken areas on her face are as noticeable as deep cuts on paper.
Scarlet as a papercut
The color is vivid and intense, akin to a deep, vivid red like a papercut.
And jewelled as the Orion
Her face holds a shining quality, likened to the constellation Orion.
She'd never worn that jewellery as a girl
She never used to wear such jewelry when she was young.
She says 'the only thing I've ever found
She believes that love is something extraordinary and profound.
That's greater than it always sounds
Love, when experienced, surpasses its mere verbal description.
Is love'
Love is highlighted as significant in her perspective.
He stares into the river
He is gazing into the river.
Heart falling to the drift
His emotions are plummeting and floating away like debris in the water.
An argument of cars
An intense traffic scenario, possibly representing chaos.
Moving full steam behind
There is a lot of activity, moving swiftly.
Blood-shot as a baby
His eyes are red, indicating fatigue or distress.
And sulking like a valley
He appears sullen, resembling a deep valley in his demeanor.
Fishing in reflections, killing time
He is contemplating reflections in the water, perhaps to pass the time.
He says 'the only thing I've ever found
He also believes that love is something exceptional.
That's greater than it always sounds
Love's profundity exceeds mere words or descriptions.
Is love'
Love holds immense significance in his perception.
It's the bath that's getting cold while you're frozen to your bed
Various mundane things are being neglected while consumed by other issues.
The milk that's going rancid on the table
Neglect is causing everyday items like milk to spoil.
The panic in the evening, the photos in the dustbin, the pointless items we forgot to label
Anxiety and forgetfulness are leading to chaos, neglecting memories.
It's the perfume on her wrist, that stinks of easy birthdays
The perfume she wears has a cheap, unpleasant smell.
The spare keys like asbestos on the side
Keys are present but are as useless as toxic asbestos.
It's the cross around his neck, for luck and not for honour
A cross he wears for luck, devoid of deeper significance.
Like diamond over knuckle on a newly married bride
The importance of something superficial, similar to a ring on a bride's finger.
She says 'the only thing I've ever found
She reiterates the extraordinary nature of love.
That's greater than it always sounds
Love's depth transcends its description and understanding.
Is love'
Love holds immense value in her perspective.
He says 'the only thing I've ever found
He echoes the sentiment about love's exceptional nature.
That's greater than it always sounds
Love's profundity exceeds linguistic expression for him as well.
Is love'
Love bears immense significance in his perception.
I know the only thing I've ever found
The singer affirms the extraordinary nature of love.
That's greater than it always sounds
Love's profound nature surpasses mere articulation.
Is love
Love holds immense importance in the singer's perspective.
