LDLM
Navigating the paradox of longing for love and the personified pain it causes.
'LDLM' (Love Don’t Love Me) is a heart-wrenching lyrical journey that explores the complexities of love and longing. The lyrics encapsulate the pain and confusion of feeling unloved, using strong metaphors like being alone on a mountaintop and marching against the wind with no visibility to express feelings of isolation and struggle. The song features poignant lines about loss and rejection, hinting at a traumatic past involving the absence of parents. Despite the recurring motif of 'love don't love me,' there's an undying hope and yearning for love apparent in the lines 'I want your love, I need your love.' The song speaks to the universal human experience of longing for love and acceptance, even in the face of constant rejection and hardship.
Floating on a mountain top
Above the world
Looking down, I'm looking for the answer
To why I, to why You
To why we can't be
Why must we complicate the simple things
It ain't nothing but a word
It ain't nothing but a verb
But the tears I cry, hide Em everytime
I can't understand how did I end up this way
Playing in a game I never asked to play
Cause love don't love me
You seem to only judge me
You don't want nothing from me
All that I want from you is love
But love don't love me
You only push and Shove me
Taken everything from me
I want your love
Remember when you turned your back
Turned me away
Took my mother, Lord
Why ain't you take me away
Yet Here I'm Standing in front Marching on
Underneath I'm burning down the fucking walls
It ain't nothing but a word
It ain't nothing but a verb
But you left me 'lone
Made a grown man groan
Don't you understand you have never been for me
Up against the wind with No Visibility
Night so cold, no one to hold
All by my lone
And I can’t stand it
Searched for you, I want to
be your fool
But you keep standing
Stand me up, shut me down
Time goes on, my heart pounds
Time goes on, my heart pounds
Without a sound
Cause love don't love me
You seem to only judge me
You don't want nothing from me
All that I want from you is love
But love don't love me
You only push and Shove me
Taken everything from me
I want your love but
Love Don’t Love Me
Love Don’t Love Me
Love Don’t Love Me
Love Don’t Love Me
No one to hold
All by my lone
And I can’t stand it
(Love Don’t Love Me)
I want to be a fool
Just for you
(But love don’t love me)
Stand me up
Shut me down
Time goes on
(Love Don’t Love Me)
Time goes on
My heart pounds
My Heart pounds
Cause love don't love me
You seem to only judge me
You don't want nothing from me
All that I want from you is love
But love don't love me
You only push and Shove me
Taken everything from me
I want your love but love don't love
I Want Your Love
I Need Your Love
Just Want Your Love
I Want Love To Love Me
