Love Is A Thousand Times

The song ‘Love is A Thousand Times’ is about a person trying to find and show love, interpreting it in different ways. He says in the beginning verse, ‘stronger than me, stronger than you.’ meaning that love is something greater in this universe where love is heavier and more meaningful. ‘Well if you want to be soldier go marching off to war’ ‘You think you’re going to be a hero but we’ve heard it all before, boy’ saying that you can go ahead and try to go off in the world and show and give love because you’re just going to be like everyone else who does it. In the next verse he says ‘dearer than me, dearer than you’ meaning that love is precious and innocent. ‘Well if you want to be a leader, then go and lead the way’ ‘You’re never going to give us freedom no matter what you say, boy’ He’s talking about love in this verse, saying that if love wants to show me path in life then lead me towards it, show me. Because once you find love, once I’m in it, then there’s no turning back no matter how much you deny it. ‘I said it’d better come soon…’ love better come quickly in my life. \n In the next chorus he sings ‘Cause love-love is the way’ Love is the only thing that can show us a better path. ‘If only we all could hear, it just seems so clear’ he’s saying that if only everyone could just listen, than it would be much clearer to understand love better. ‘I just can’t believe watching the world, what am I seeing?’ In that verse, he’s shocked, surprised at how much the world probably doesn\'t have much love in it, how ugly it has gotten over time. Like nowadays, where racism, riots, killing and politics had a critical impact on the world. \nIn the next line, he’s saying that there’s always another way out of this crazy world, where love can finally set all of us free from our troubles. ‘But I know there’s a way, oh there must be a way, Oh there must come a day - come a time when I can be free..’\n ‘Cause I want to hear her voice..’ He’s metaphorically saying that, I want to see love, I want to be loved, I want to hear love. He wants to be in the presence of love and out of the world he saw. ‘Softer than me, Softer than you…’ He explains that love is a very delightful feeling towards each and one of us. ‘Cause every time I try to please her, she loves to go in hiding…’ That line is metaphorically talking about love and how we try to please it, welcome it in different times of our lives and how we try to seek it, yet, it tends to go back into hiding. We don’t get to choose love, it chooses us, it’s saying. ‘I said she’d better come soon…’ Love better find me quickly, the person is desperate on seeking it.
