She Is Love Lyrics
I've been beaten down
I've been kicked around
But she takes it all for me
And I lost my faith
In my darkest days
But she makes me want to believe
They call her love, love, love, love, love
They call her love, love, love, love, love
She is love, and she is all I need
She's all I need
Well I had my ways
They were all in vain
And she waited patiently
It was all the same
All my pride and shame
But she put me on my feet
They call her love, love, love, love, love
They call her love, love, love, love, love
She is love, and she is all I need
She is love, and she is all I need
She is love, and she is all I need
I've been kicked around
But she takes it all for me
In my darkest days
But she makes me want to believe
They call her love, love, love, love, love
She is love, and she is all I need
She's all I need
They were all in vain
And she waited patiently
All my pride and shame
But she put me on my feet
They call her love, love, love, love, love
She is love, and she is all I need
She is love, and she is all I need
She is love, and she is all I need

I almost think the song isn't about a girl, or a person, but maybe just about "love". I guess it could be seen thru either interpretation, but this seems to ring the most true for me, and it makes sense with the lyrics. Why they'd refer to love as a "her" is anyones guess.
"She is love, and she is all I need" - love is all he needs, simple enough ?
yeah, personification

maybe...

yeah i never thought of it that way-- with the personification.. but i love that, i think that makes a lot of sense and is really interesting..

i like the personification idea, but that's really how i view this song. It reminds me a lot of my current girlfriend, who also happens to be my best friends. My ex dumped me the friday before Valentines Day. On V-day my and my friend were both lonely...and so she came over. and she was there as i cried, and still couldn't understand what had happened. It was one of my darkest days (hint hint) and she made it better. she was a true friend that helped me through it. a few weeks later here we are, as a couple. She's why i didn't give up on relationships, she's patient and kind...and to me, she is love. that's what i think of, when i hear this song
I agree with all of these comments. I also believe that it has a religious connotation, maybe? Maybe that wasn't their intention, but The Bible says that "God is Love", and this song could easily be taken as a worship song by just thinking of "she" as "he" in your mind, "I lost my faith.." I mean, it's VERY worshipful if you just look at the lyrics with that point of view. Love this song either way!

Well it could work and i can see it. Everybody has their own opinion and sees it as they want to. I see it as a girl that took him away from his "darkest days." I'm guessing a girl broke his heart hints "ive been beaten down" and "I lost my faith, in my darkest days." I can relate and its amazing. Spot on. and "she waited patiently" could refer to the girl who waited for him, who was there all along this is how I see it, she is love and takes everything else away therefore she is all he needs
and i think these lyrics are missing arguably the best part...
"and when that world slows down dear, and when those stars burn out hear she'll be there, ya she'll be there" - beautiful
I agree with llGtPhshll. I like to think of this song as personification of love. Love is all he needs, etc.

To promote shows, the band used to serenade sororities, something that factored into the lyrics behind “She is Love.”

“I was interested in someone at that point so of course I was trying to figure it out… but you know, it was most just a general song.

I think it definitely reflects what I was thinking at the time, which was that I needed something that I could sing in front of a room full of girls,” he explained.
The band makes it a point to sing about love, a subject that they feel everyone understands. “There’s a bad side and a good side [to love] and I think that everyone experiences that. We’re just trying to write songs that people can relate to and connect to in some way or another.”
Hope that helps! :o)
Oh! I'm sorry, mightymarchingmello11. Definitely didn't mean to post that specifically to yours. Hahaha, woops!

I am 100% with llGtPhshllon, 'she' is the personification of unconditional love. Unconditional love for ones self is all you need. It's a beautiful thing to see the world through unconditional love. You see people for who they truly are at their core inner being level, and not the armor, walls, or whatever past experiences the mind has overlaid on their perception/conscious. Unconditional love is always there for you, even if you make mistakes, it forgives. It is omnipresent and omnipotent.
Excellent song. Its such an odd phrase to express his love-they call her love, but its so cool. The singing during the chorus is epecially good. And that's really what its all about, just expressing his love for a girl even though they've had problems.
