In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I gave my heart to you
I gave up my friends like you said I should do
Put aside my smile for you
And throw out my dreams if you said you didn't approve
I gave my mind, compromised my life
Just to see I'd find
You were trying to hold me back
Slowly throwing me off of my track
Disappointed again
I'm through with love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm finally giving it up
I've given so much in the past (past)
For a love I never had (had)
I'm through with it
I'm, I'm through with it, love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm finally givin' it up
Oh, there you go, comparing me
To every little model on the TV screen
Oh, there you go, complaining to me
'Cause I want to spend time with my family
My esteem has gone down
You'd never want to take me out
You make me feel lost and alone
I don't know where to go
I'm through with it
I'm through with it, love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm finally giving it up
I've given so much in the past (past)
For a love I never had (had)
I'm through with it
I'm, I'm through with it, love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm finally givin' it up
I shared all my secrets with you (you)
Even when it hurt to tell the truth
I paralyzed my growth for you (you)
I gave you control, felt so helpless without you
Couldn't be a friend (a friend) to anyone happy (happy)
'Cause with you I see (I see) misery loves company
Don't know if this is love
'Cause if it's love, I don't want it anymore
I'm through with it
I'm through with it, love (so tired of crying)
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love (oh)
I'm through with it (I'm so tired of your lying)
Through with it, love
I'm finally giving it up
I've given so much in the past (past)
For a love I never had (had)
I'm through with it
I'm, I'm through with it, love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm finally givin' it up
Why do I feel so empty?
I'm crying out for some stability
Destroy my many insecurities (yeah)
I'm breaking down, somebody pray for me
He doesn't like no other, not an ordinary love
Restore my joy, restore my courage
Lord, I need your love
I found a new love
I found a new, found a new love
I finally found it in God
I found a new love
I found a new, found a new love (I don't have to hurt no more)
I found a new, found a new love (I don't have to weep no more)
I found a new, found a new love (my heart don't have to hurt no more)
I finally found it in God
I've given so much in the past (past)
For a love I've always had (had)
I found a new
I, I found a new love
I found a new, found a new love
I finally found it in God
I gave up my friends like you said I should do
Put aside my smile for you
And throw out my dreams if you said you didn't approve
I gave my mind, compromised my life
Just to see I'd find
You were trying to hold me back
Slowly throwing me off of my track
Disappointed again
I'm through with love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm through with it
Through with it, love
I'm through with it

I'm finally giving it up
I've given so much in the past (past)

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
This song is about someone who's given their all in a relationship and getting nothing out of it. This guy has taken every ounce out of her and used her for all she was worth and she finally realizes this and decides to be "through with love." And it is also about finder a new kind of love in God . . . but that part seems kind of thrown in and doesn't correlate with the rest of the song. Good lyrics and beat nonetheless.
I agree suepurticious. The song has a pretty good beat, and the lyrics aren't half bad, but the end with finding love in God, came out of left field.
this song is one of the stand out trax on the album wen i bought the album, on its release date first customer in melbourne to buy it, i had it on repeat for ages! so good luv it they're completely awesome and the song has such meaning but yer that whole god things a lil weird but i guess they put it in to say ok im thru with a physical relationship i want to strengthen mi spiritual relationship which i think is the core to a physical relationship so i guess they put it in to say they're goign to rejuvinate and grow as a people luv it!
I loooooove this song!!! I reckon it's about a relationship that ultimately didn't work so she's forgetting about any more relationships for a while and focussing on God and that relationship, which is probably the most important thing. I saw a DVD of DC concert in Atlanta and when they sing this, it is the most amazing thing to watch. All these choir singers came out and it gives me shivers every single time. I love destiny's child, even though they aren't together anymore :P
