Love is a complicated game, the winning move is not to play. But that's also the least interesting ;) |

I think it's a song of reflection. He's been with his partner/lover/what have you for a time and he's realising that the initial romance has faded, but now he wonders whether he's actually in love with her (and moreover, is she his one?). He reasons that usually people talk of an explosion of love but his was more of a river flowing to that conclusion and he's considering whether he's arrived there yet. Following this, I feel that he is drawing a distinction between the traditional, explosion of love that may fade, "Stars have their moment, then they die." and this new, more subtle love. I think - perhaps hope - that he is saying the latter is 'true' and lasts longer. |
