Sade - Topic Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I always hope that you remember
We'll never really learn the meaning of it all
What we have is strong and tender
So hold on

In the middle of the madness
When the time is running out and you're left alone
All I want is you to know that

It's strong still
Can't pull us apart

Nothing (can come)
Can come (nothing can come)
Between us (nothing can come)
Nothing (between us)
Can pull us apart (yeah baby)
(Nothing can come)
Can come (nothing can come)
Between us
(Nothing can come between us)

I always hope that you remember
What we have is strong and tender
In the middle of the madness
Hold on

So it truly is a good thing
And I always wanted you to know
There is always this and this is everlasting
Hold on

It's about faith
It's about trust, yeah, yeah
It's about faith
It's about trust

Nothing can come
Nothing can come
Nothing can come between us (yeah baby)
Nothing can come
Nothing can come
Nothing can come between us

Can come (nothing can come, nothing can come)
Can tear (nothing can come between us, yeah baby)
Can pull (nothing can come, nothing can come)
Us apart (nothing can come between us)

Can come (nothing can come, nothing can come)
Can tear (nothing can come between us, yeah baby)
Can pull (nothing can come, nothing can come)
Us apart (nothing can come between us)

Can come (nothing can come, nothing can come)
Can tear (nothing can come between us, yeah baby)

Can pull (nothing can come, nothing can come)
Us apart (nothing can come between us)

Overall Meaning

The song 'Nothing Can Come Between Us' by Sade is an ode to the enduring nature of true love. The lyrics speak of a love that is strong and tender, one that can withstand any test. The chorus repeats the line 'Nothing can come between us', emphasizing the idea that no matter what obstacles come their way, the love between the two individuals will remain unbreakable. The lyrics also touch upon the idea of holding on in the midst of chaos, and having faith and trust in the other person that they will always be there for each other.

The repetition of the phrase 'it's about faith, it's about trust' highlights the importance of these two qualities in any successful relationship. In a world where so much is uncertain, having faith in another human being and trusting them completely can provide a sense of stability and security. This sentiment is further reinforced through the line 'There is always this and this is everlasting', which speaks to the idea that love, when true, is a constant presence that endures.

Overall, the song is a beautiful tribute to love that stands the test of time and the trials and tribulations of life.
