Cover art for Love? lyrics by Strapping Young Lad

This song is shedding light on what love actually is- a biological process with the purpose of advancing the human species.

Love is what causes males and females to attempt to find a lifetime mate, raising offspring together. This is because humans who are raised in this arental dynamic are -generally- at an advantage against humans raised with an unstable parental situation.

Being in love is simply a set of chemical reactions that takes place in the body and brain which causes people to become addicted to the pheremones of their lover(well-documented scientific fact). This chemical bond also exists between parents and children, siblings.

The song is pointing out that while we interpret love as this mystical, beautiful thing that makes human special, in reality love is only an evolutionary device designed to produce offspring who will be well-adjusted and successful in society.
