In The Name Of Love Lyrics

If I told you this was only gonna hurt
If I warned you that the fire's gonna burn
Would you walk in?
Would you let me do it first?
Do it all in the name of love
Would you let me lead you even when you're blind?
In the darkness, in the...

    What we humans are willing to do good/or bad to each other and ourselves, in the name of love - all because of love. Flip side strong symbolism towards Christian view of what God did for love + us.

    If I told you this was only gonna hurt
    If I warned you that the fire's gonna burn
    Would you walk in?
    (God asking if you can walk with him clearly stating it will hurt/ burn- make new from sin)
    Would you let me do it first?
    (He walked the path first, via Jesus for our sins)
    Do it all in the name of love
    (He did it for love, so do you? as his example, for love)
    Would you let me lead you even when you're blind?
    (Asking us to let him lead us)
    In the darkness, in the middle of the night
    (Either during troubled times/ spiritual battle while on earth)
    In the silence, when there's no one by your side
    (Trust him at times where you feel alone)
    Would you call in the name of love?
    (Call, hand on to him because of love)
    In the name of love, name of love
    In the name of love, name of love
    In the name of
    In the name, name
    In the name, name
    If I told you we could bathe in all the lights
    (Him telling us promise of victory)
    Would you rise up, come and meet me in the sky? (Become heavens citizen/ come to know him)
    Would you trust me when you're jumping from the heights?
    (Do you trust to follow even if you feel your loosing your life because of it)
    Would you fall in the name of love?
    ( would you kill your old self and become new for him)
    When there's madness, when there's poison in your head
    When the sadness leaves you broken in your bed
    (Madness, sadness- if you are a hurt wounded person outside and in)
    I will hold you in the depths of your despair
    (God holds you, to the depths, no matter how far you think you’ve gone)
    And it's all in the name of love
    (He does Because of love)
    In the name of love, name of love
    In the name of love, name of love
    In the name of
    In the name, name
    In the name, name
    I wanna testify
    (Want to tell people about him)
    Scream in the holy light
    (Holy Spirit inspires you to feel/ know him- it’s good to the point of screaming)
    You bring me back to life
    (You feel alive cus of love AND you are literally alive now in soul cus of him)
    And it's all in the name of love
    (Dual symbolism: Name of love is defined as God in Christianity. So all this because of God. And also means all this we do, we do and God does because...? Of love)

    When one hears Holy Light, is the spirit of God, and His promises to guide you in the dark, He will be there when all else fails in life, to trust in Him to be the catcher when one falls, but in faith, we must know He will be there in the end, He is the beginning and end of all things.

    I have always felt this song connected me to my Son who passed recently. Since he passed I have gotten many messages from him and this being one of those thing's. This song was emailed to me in the middle of the night recently, 2 days after his one yr transition date. The way I interpret this song is that the strong love I have for him is what brings him back to life on the other side. I also feel that he is saying that he is in the holy light and that he is trying to lead me in my despair. A part of me feels he wants me to join him in the name of Love but then I check myself and just think this is possibly the dark energy trying to make me do something foolish. So I really feel when he said to join him in the sky it means to do this through meditations and getting in touch with my spiritual self.
    Also, my son had severe Autism n passed at age 16. He was a person that needed my assistance for helping him with all his basic needs. He taught me what true unconditional love is. I have said that since he passed he has washed away any fear I have of death and and I have felt this was a true gift from him and our creator. So the verse about him walking into the fire was basically symbolic of his life struggles and then passing over at so young was a sacrifice he made for me...All in the name of love.

    This to me is specifically about a group of 19 Yazidi women who were burned alive in cages, in front of hundreds of people in June of 2014 in Syria by Isis, for refusing to marry Isis fighters. I hear it as the spirit of God comforting one of the women as she is led to her horrific death. I envision their spirits bathing in the Holy Light and being welcomed back into the Kingdom of Heaven as martyrs for their bravery.

    It's about asking a person(your crush or the one proposed to you) if they would be willing to be with you and do anything for you through anything and everything just

    I think this song should represent the courage to have no regrets when a story is over. You from the future, talking to you: “If I told you this was only gonna hurt […] would you walk in?”.
    And may call us all to say ‘yes’, one million times again. Love always worth it, even though it could “leave you broken in your bed”. in the name of love, reflecting back at you a thousand times over.

    I think it means that no matter what would you go through stuff all in the name of love i also agree it has some meaning to god and his price in the name of love he died on the cross for us and took that burden even though he was perfect.

    I take this song as a message that God passes through music,indirectly though,I mean most people listen to music right? So I think God is trying to pass a message through Martin Garrix because he knows that the song is definitely going to reach many ears.

    I think this song describes the emotional contemplation and journey between two people in love. It explores different questions and complications that may arise during this journey; is the connection and the fire that burns inside deep AND strong enough to sustain pain that may coincide? Is it WORTH working through this pain to get to a place of love and trust, or in the end, would this just create further brokenness and emotional damage?

    The takeaway I got from this song is that if it is in fact true love, working through all the vulnerability and pain is worth it to get to this amazing place of love, understanding, and trust. When this is the end result of all the hard work put into overcoming obstacles in the relationship, there is genuinely little to no better feeling in the world.

    Hi, I am Amy Brook but I am too lazy to log in. By the way, Bebe Rexha sings so Martin should not get all the credit. Not attacking anyone, just my opinion. You can believe whatever you want :). ( )= my interpretation. Ok, let's start.

    Lyrics
    If I told you this was only gonna hurt
    If I warned you that the fire's gonna burn
    Would you walk in?
    Would you let me do it first?
    (Would you protect me even though there are consequences? Can go first so I do not see you get hurt?)
    Do it all in the name of love
    Would you let me lead you even when you're blind? ( Do you love me enough to trust me)
    In the darkness, in the middle of the night
    In the silence, when there's no one by your side
    Would you call in the name of love? (if there is no one by your side can you still count on me?)
    In the name of love, name of love
    In the name of love, name of love
    In the name of
    In the name, name
    In the name, name (would you do it becaue you love me?)
    If I told you we could bathe in all the lights
    Would you rise up, come and meet me in the sky?
    Would you trust me when you're jumping from the heights? (Would you trust me to catch you when you fall?)
    Would you fall in the name of love?(would you do it because you love me?)
    When there's madness, when there's poison in your head
    When the sadness leaves you broken in your bed
    I will hold you in the depths of your despair (If you are hurt or sad know I will take care of you and ease your pain)
    And it's all in the name of love
    In the name of love, name of love
    In the name of love, name of love
    In the name of
    In the name, name
    In the name, name (I will do it because I love you)
    I wanna testify
    Scream in the holy light
    You bring me back to life
    And it's all in the name of love
    I wanna testify
    Scream in the holy light
    You bring me back to life (I want to show everyone how much I love you. Whenever I feel broken you bring me back to reality.)
    And it's all in the name of love
    In the name of love, name of love
    In the name of love, name of love
    In the name of
    In the name, name
    In the name, name
    In the name of
    In the name, name
    In the name of(We will do all this because we love each other)

    About a woman asking if someone is willing to help her go through the pain of being in love.

    This is about someone you have a crush on moving on and you help them and pretend to be happy but you want them to at least know it will hurt but GOD is always by their side just like he was by yours. That's my interpretation.

    It meant when a person tries to sacrifice him/her for them, it might’ve meant that the love will become more stronger if that person is dead, they will always be beloved in holy heaven, no matter what type or person they are, whether criminal or hero. I may call the sacrifice a “right thing to do” kind of a deal. But if the love is true, they can accomplish of what that person agrees to do about it and how to make things right. But if they are in danger of having a heart attack around that person doing racism, sexism, or illegal actions, they might as well have to sacrifice, opposites attract you know, kind of a stereotype, but sometimes true. It’s just in Descendants 1 and 2. Think about it, what would you do for that person to love him/her?

    I think the meaning is a woman is going through tough times and the man is helping her through it.
