Latch Lyrics

(Never [3x])

You lift my heart up when the rest of me is down (never)
You, you enchant me even when you're not around (never)
If there are boundaries, I will try to knock them down (never)
I’m latching on, babe, now I know what I have found...

    It is definitely a love song. A song about someone really loving someone. Never wanting to let that person go. Knowing you have the ability to help that someone knock down their walls. knowing you have the ability to help them and make them happy if only they would let you. Knowing you could love them unconditionally if you could just "latch on to their love".

    This song is about love. I believe that it is supposed to stand for you love the person and its the moment when you get attached. Its about finding that person you can be in love with. Im sorry if you don't agree but this song makes me think of my gf and I love her and tell her everyday im not going to let you go bc your mine. I love her! <3

    I think its about two people who are deeply attracted to each other. Whilst one is going through something and they're out of reach. The other partner is there to show that they care and lift them up showing that they aren't alone.

    I believe it's a love song, about the initial part of a relationship & trying to lock them into something serious or maybe marriage proposal . I don't think it's creepy or obsessive compulsive at all. I think the perspn is trying to be cool by using the word 'latch' probably because they want to get 'hitched'.

    I think that the song is about who you love and adore a lot, it could be your husband/wife or could be someone you have a crush on. I think of it as a crush song. I use it and think of it as a crush song because I think of him. Anyway I believe in a way it can be seen as a love song.

    Yes I agree it is totally about love but I'm confused by another interpretation I read where they were saying it's about obsession and not true love but it confuses me cause I can see it both ways

    It's about just a 'fling'. When the people are so briefly passionate, there are the other people, their faces light up, because they are just another face in the croud. And in the end, after the brief passion dies, they just turn I to another face in the croud. The couple in the elevator, they were just feeling that feeling that we all feel, "oh my god, I love him/her, will they talk first?" And they are just a little bold. The one girl and the other girl are just drunk, it's obvious that the other girl is straight. And the man having sex, the woman is a prostitute, there was almost no passion or emotion.

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

    It's about a narcissistic or sociopathic person latching on to someone's love and emotions. Bleeding them dry of their emotions latching on like leaches. Just my opinion. "I'm glad you've found someone else to latch onto and it isn't me anymore" "poor girl".

    It's Satan. It sounds lovely, yes. But Satan is a sweet talker.

    He's totally ambiguous about his true feelings because although he expresses beautiful sentiments in each line, it is all followed by the word "never." We will read into the song what we want to see in it but the words are clear. I'm just saying this do I really mean it? Never.
    If I say to my friend "I would follow that man to the ends of the earth because I love him so much" and then add "never" it's clear I'm being sarcastic.

    this guy obviously wrote a song about trying to talk a virgin into going all the way. (He wants to lighten her load and kncok down her walls. One wall in particular; her hymin).

    love at first sight, loving that special someone so unconditionally no matter what! doesnt matter if its a gay/lesbian couple or a hetero couple, love is love. this song says a lot about love and the message is very strong and firm. everyone should hear this song, it says a lot about love and what it is all about.

    The boy i like recently told me that this is song reminds me of him. When i listened to it, i first thought that it was about how when youre with the person you love, nothing else in the world matters. Its about finding the love of your life. That person is the only person on your mind, nothing else matters as much as he/she does. It also means that weather youre a homosexual, heterosexual, interatial couple, it doesnt matter, as long as you love the person. The message that this song gives is powerful! i love it!:)
