Makin' Love

Rainbow's song 'Makin' Love' delves into the transformative and overwhelming power of love. The lyrics reveal a journey from skepticism to surrender, as the protagonist transitions from viewing love as a frivolous game to recognizing its profound impact on his life. Initially, the singer admits to being on the 'wilder side,' dismissing love as something for 'romantic fools.' This sets the stage for a narrative of personal growth and emotional awakening.

As the song progresses, the protagonist finds himself unable to deny his feelings, despite his initial resistance. The line 'How can I deny my heart when my love is blind' encapsulates this internal struggle. The metaphor of love being blind suggests a loss of control and rationality, highlighting the all-consuming nature of his emotions. The repeated phrase 'When we're makin' love' serves as a refrain that underscores the intensity and significance of these moments, where all other concerns fade away.

The lyrics also emphasize the reciprocal nature of love. The protagonist finds joy in seeing his partner's 'magic eyes' and 'smiling back at me,' which makes him feel 'so good.' This mutual satisfaction is crucial, as it suggests that love is not just about personal fulfillment but also about making the other person happy. The song concludes with a sense of inevitability and acceptance, as the protagonist acknowledges that he 'can't get enough' and has 'gone too far' to turn back. This final admission underscores the transformative power of love, which has irrevocably changed him.
