The song "The Love Wouldn't Die" by Trevor Hall explores the idea that love is a powerful force that cannot be extinguished. The lyrics convey a sense of resilience and determination, as the protagonist tries to block out the sun and escape the intensity of love but finds that it persists. In the first verse, the protagonist runs away from love, symbolized by the remaining bullet in their gun. They seek refuge in the master (possibly referring to a spiritual guide or mentor) and hope that laughter will distract them from their thoughts of love. The chorus emphasizes the unstoppable nature of love. The whole world is turning, and the fire of love burns continuously. Despite trying to "sleep" and escape its grip, the love they feel remains steadfast. The second verse speaks of the protagonist's experience with love. They describe swallowing the thunder and feeling the weight of numbers, possibly alluding to the intensity and multitude of emotions associated with love. The rhythm, symbolizing the heartbeat, is considered holy and brings them joy only when love is present. The combination section repeats the main theme that love cannot be extinguished. It reinforces the idea that the protagonist has tried everything, even resorting to running away and seeking external guidance, but love continues to persist. The repetition of "The love wouldn't die" emphasizes the unyielding nature of love. Overall, the song suggests that no matter how hard one tries to escape or suppress love, it will always find a way to endure. It conveys a mix of frustration, acceptance, and awe towards the power of love.
