Lion Of Love
Erik Mjönes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thousands tried to tame me
But I run free (ah)
Until I saw you, and you saw me (ah)
It's a jungle out there, so hold on tight (ah)
You're about to see how I spend my night (ah)
You'll be the queen I need
And on, and on, and on, and on
Let's get together
I'm a lion lover
And I hunt for love
On the Savannah
I will make you rise up to the sky above
And when I roar
You'll know I'm done
Somewhere, someone tonight
Will meet the lion of love
Lion of love
Lion of love
I was happily rounding the shadows
And bothered by flies (ah)
Surrounded by so many that just didn't light my fire
But then I turned 'round
And I saw a gazelle
With a flirtatious smile (ah)
Swift as the wind
She was gone
But you won't get away this time (ah)
I'll be the king you wanted
You'll be the queen I need
And on, and on, and on, and on
Oh, let's get together
I'm a lion lover
And I hunt for love
On the Savannah
I will make you rise up to the sky above
And when I roar
You'll know, you know I'm done
Somewhere, someone tonight
Will meet the lion of love
Somewhere, someone tonight
Will meet the lion of love
Somewhere, someone tonight
Will meet the lion of love
Lion of love
The song "Lion Of Love" by Erik Mjönes is an ultimate celebration of love and the pursuit of it. The first verse of the song talks about how the singer has been elusive to the love that others try to tame in them. However, they are now willing to let go of their guard as they have found their love interest. The metaphorical comparison of the jungle, where the lion roams free, can be related to the unpredictability of love. The second line of the verse talks about how they now see their love interest, and there is a mutual understanding that they have found each other. The chorus talks about the singer's fierce personality, where they will be the king and their love interest will be the queen. They also hunt for love and will make their love interest rise to the sky. Finally, they will let out a roar, which signifies they are done, and someone somewhere will meet the "lion of love."
The second verse explains how the singer has been surrounded by many people who did not interest them. However, they finally saw the "gazelle" of their dreams. The chase began, but this time they will not let their love interest go. The chorus follows, emphasizing the singer's sheer desire for love and the intensity with which they will love their partner. The song has a positive and upbeat tempo, which reflects the overall message of the songwriter, which is to take chances in love and pursue love without fear.
