The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Funnel of Love" by the artist "Wanda Jackson"

Contents

Wanda Jackson’s “Funnel of Love” uses a powerful image to describe the overwhelming feeling of falling in love. The lyrics depict the speaker literally falling into a “funnel,” losing control as they’re swept away.

The imagery is multifaceted:

Falling: Signifies a loss of control, an unstoppable movement towards the unknown. The speaker doesn't resist but surrenders to the feeling.

Funnel: Represents the power and inevitability of love. Just as a funnel draws everything into its center, love consumes the speaker's thoughts and emotions.

Physical sensations: “My head is spinnin',” “My knees keep tremblin'” – convey the emotional whirlwind of falling in love, simultaneously exhilarating and overwhelming.

Escape is futile: The speaker tried to fight the feeling, but love is inescapable, like a force of nature. “It’ll get you someday, so you might as well give up” – this key phrase emphasizes the all-encompassing power of love.

The repetition of lines at the end, particularly “goin' down, down, down to that Funnel of Love,” reinforces the feeling of endless descent and surrender to this newfound love.

Overall, “Funnel of Love” is a song about joyful acceptance of love’s power, even if it means losing control, because that surrender to the dizzying feeling is part of its charm.

Here I go,

Falling down, down, down,

My mind is a blank,

My head is spinning around and around,

As I go deep into the funnel of love.

It's such a crazy, crazy feeling,

I get weak in the knees,

My poor old head is a reelin',

As I go deep into the funnel of love.

I tried and I tried, to run and hide,

I even tried to run away,

You just can't run from the funnel of love,

It's gonna get you someday.

It's such a crazy, crazy feeling,

I get weak in the knees,

My poor old head is a reelin',

As I go deep into the funnel of love.

I tried and I tried, to run and hide,

I even tried to run away,

You just can't run from the funnel of love,

It's gonna get you someday.

Here I go, falling down, down, down,

My mind is a blank,

My head is spinning around and around,

As I go deep into the funnel of love,

Deep into the funnel of love,

Deep into the funnel of love.
