About

"Measuring a Love" is a haunting North American ballad that dives into the abyss of passion and pain. With raw, poetic lyrics, it explores love as both a black hole of devotion and a flame that consumes, where devotion blurs the line between ecstasy and torment. The song’s melancholic melody mirrors the struggle to quantify the unmeasurable—a love so vast it feels like sin, yet so sweet it’s divine. From whispered confessions to desperate screams, it’s a journey through the thorns and roses of the heart, leaving the listener breathless and yearning.

Lyrics

Verse 1

If I could measure this love we share,

find some scale, some way to lay it bare…

I’d say it’s more than the air I breathe,

more than the ground beneath my feet,

more than the time I lose just to chase your ghost.

Verse 2

I’d paint the sky with the weight you bear—

too heavy for my heart, my words, my prayer.

I’d whisper: You’re just devours me inside,

yeah, you’re the flame that eats me alive.

Chorus

Oh, if I could…

I’d scream to the sky I love you too damn much,

and this "too much" is a black hole:

it’s a dream, it’s a cult,

it’s the sweetest touch and the cruelest pull.

I don’t know if you’re the thorn

or the rose in my garden’s bloom.

Verse 3

I’d carve it in the passing wind,

in the rain that falls like a sin,

in the sun that brands my skin—

let every second spill the truth…

This love…

(ohhhh-oh-ohhhh)

This love with no disguise,

no more fear in my eyes,

‘cause even when the thunder rolls,

fades into the unknown…

(…)

It growls—just to remind me—

of this hunger deep inside.

(…)

Just to recall…

your name.

(…)

Just to recall…

how much I burn.

Just to recall…

this love.
