Only Love

PVRIS's song 'Only Love' delves into the complexities of emotional vulnerability and the transformative power of love. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who has been through significant hardships, possibly hinting at a troubled past or emotional trauma. The line 'I'm hoping you weren't heaven sent, 'Cause only hell knows where you've been' suggests that the person has faced severe challenges, and their 'built composure's wearing thin' indicates that they are struggling to maintain their emotional defenses.

The song's narrator offers a lifeline, expressing a desire to lift the other person up and share the love they have found. This is evident in the repeated lines, 'I took all this love I found, And I hope that it's enough.' The narrator's plea for the other person not to 'shut this down' or 'give this up' underscores the urgency and importance of holding onto love as a means of healing and support. The recurring theme of hope and resilience is a central element, as the narrator encourages the other person to 'keep on counting down the days' and 'dream of me to keep you safe.'

The song also touches on the narrator's own journey, revealing that they were 'lost and out of place' before finding this love. This mutual need for connection and stability highlights the reciprocal nature of their relationship. The repeated plea for the other person to 'please, stay' emphasizes the deep emotional bond and the desire for continuity in their relationship. 'Only Love' by PVRIS is a poignant exploration of how love can be a powerful force for healing and emotional resilience, even in the face of significant adversity.
