The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Love Story" by the artist "Yelawolf"

Contents

In "Love Story," Yelawolf uses the metaphor of love as a journey filled with trials. The lyrical hero confesses his feelings but anticipates that the relationship may end. He compares himself to a sinking ship and assumes his lover will find someone else when he is gone.

However, "Love Story" is not just a love song. Yelawolf uses it as a platform to tell his success story. He compares himself to biblical figures, emphasizing his strength, perseverance, and ambition. He is a hunter seeking a "megalodon," a metaphor for success and recognition.

Yelawolf is proud of his background ("stuck in the Alabama woods") and how he achieved success despite hardships. He "turned a bucket of beans into a pot of gold," a metaphor for transitioning from poverty to wealth. Yelawolf is determined and confident in his abilities, he "earned his place on this road."

The recurring phrase "Don't forget me!" is not just a plea to his lover, but also an appeal to the listeners, a call to remember his story and his music. "Love Story" is not just a love song, it is Yelawolf's manifesto, a statement about himself and his ambitions.

When this well runs dry,

I guess you'll find another well.

When I say goodbye,

There'll be another breeze to sail.

When my boat goes down,

I guess you'll learn how to swim.

If I don't come home,

Just know you've been a good friend.

Don't forget me!

I love you so.

Don't forget me!

I've never let you go.

Don't forget me!

Love is the story I wrote.

Don't forget me!

Don't forget me!

If God is my angel, the fuckin' devil's the pistol,

Better put your face behind safety glass when I load up this missile,

Whistlin' past this infinite path, I limp when I drag,

My footprints like a giant, look at this mountain.

Bounce on my boots and then climb it,

Mount up my troupes and defiantly

Go against what they tryin', teach 'em to shoot when I'm rhymin',

Be livin' proof of my word, meanin' I'm Bible designin',

Jesus, I'm rival, decapitatin', put the bait on my line and

Throw the hook to the open water, fish till I catch that motherfucka,

Lookin' for Megalodon, Goliath, Leviathan,

That I have been dyin' to find him and tie him to my boat and chop him up and dine with him on a plate with a steak and a coke.

Rely on patience and hope, speak to a nation, it shows,

Reach through these speakers and grab you, turn the bass up and then choke,

And I earned my place on this road, ain't nobody movin' me, no way!

No! How? OK, go! Pow!

When I was born, they said, "Exorcise," and the hospital set on fire,

The preacher got goosebumps when he saw me, and said, "Messiah."

Here from the heavens, I have arose from the ashes of hell,

Brought here to be poor white trash and excel.

Stuck in the woods of 'Bama, would like mat on the shelf,

A scientist under development with nines and twelves and trees,

And things like pyramids, and fuck it, you'll see

How I made a pot of gold from a bucket of beans.

How I made it back to dry land, stuck in the sea,

From crippled ships to triple dip Z's 71's!

Yeah, it's already begun and I ain't even had a hit but I'm fuckin' ready for one!

I got my weight up like I'm carryin' fat people,

I planned it, I landed,

Touch down, that sequel.

But above all the guts, glory it's more than just blood for me,

My heart is half open for the ones that never gave a fuck for me,

My love story.

Don't forget me! [×12]
