Until I'm Loving You

Soraya's song 'Until I'm Loving You' delves into the complexities of love, trust, and emotional vulnerability. The lyrics reveal a protagonist who is grappling with past traumas and the fear of opening up to new love. The opening lines, 'Tell me how I should let you know / Cause I can't hold this true inside,' set the stage for a heartfelt confession. The singer is torn between the desire to express their feelings and the fear of reliving past heartbreaks. This internal struggle is further emphasized by the lines, 'Scared to try and just let go / Of the ghost in my past / Of the tears that I've cried,' highlighting the lingering pain from previous relationships.

The chorus, 'I will not love, I will not fall / I will not give away this fragile soul / I will not trust, I swear that's true / I will not love until I'm loving you,' serves as a powerful declaration of self-preservation. The protagonist is determined to protect their 'fragile soul' from further harm, vowing not to love or trust until they find someone truly worthy. This sentiment reflects a common human experience of building emotional walls to safeguard oneself from potential hurt.

In the second verse, the lyrics, 'Walked on faith too many miles / Dropped some dreams along the way,' suggest a journey marked by disillusionment and lost aspirations. The plea, 'Won't you look me in the eyes / Tell me to stay, baby not look away,' underscores the need for genuine connection and reassurance. The closing lines, 'Kill me or save me, it's all in your hands / I'll be loving blind, baby not this time,' encapsulate the ultimate risk of love—entrusting one's heart to another. Soraya's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery make 'Until I'm Loving You' a resonant exploration of the delicate balance between vulnerability and self-protection in the quest for true love.
