Better Than Love Lyrics

Cover art for Better Than Love lyrics by HURTS

this is a beautiful song...i think that this guy feels that love is a waste of time and brings a lot of pain.. "every second is a life time" means that time is precious so not to waste it..u an die any second of time

"every minute more brings u closer to god" means that as every minute passes u move closer to death...

"u see nothin but the red light" well this is a bit confusing...i think he's tokin about the red light from the flemes of hell..the bad deeds u are forced to do in love leads u to hell..

"and u let ur body burn like never before" means that the flames of hell are the worse flames u have ever faced in life...its very painful...

now here is wot he tries to say "and it feels better than love"..what he wants to say here is that the pain u get in the flames of hell is better than the pain u get in love..and he assures that yes it is better than love..

then he warns other people by saying "turn away,turn away,close your eyes u can run away."..here he means that u still have time..dont fall in love..turn away from love..then ull be able to escape..

I think you've read too much into it. I think he's comparing having fun/lust to real love. He's not sure which he wants and wonders if true love could be better than the temporary physical and emotional pleasure of a pick up, etc. He sees the lights through the rain...perhaps the lights of the clubs (the excitement of it all), but the rain is his feeling that he may be missing out on something more. He's just not sure. But what do I know :)
