I Don't Believe In Love

The lyrics describe someone who seems to have lost a woman he loved and is trying to protect himself from grief by rejecting love altogether. At first he sounds shocked and confused, recalling being accused or treated like a criminal. As the song continues, he remembers how she made life feel brighter, but his memories turn into pain. His repeated claim that he never believed in love sounds less like calm certainty than a defensive attempt to cope.

Several images show how trapped and isolated he feels. Being “handcuffed and blind” suggests powerlessness and an inability to understand what has happened, not necessarily a literal arrest. The shift from bright nights to walking “in shadows” captures the way loss has darkened his experience of life. He also says he will pretend she was never real, but admits he still sees her face; this contradiction shows that forgetting is something he wants, not something he has achieved.

The story leaves the exact circumstances unclear. The woman may have died, left, or become unreachable, and the “other side” could suggest separation without explaining it. His belief that she lied because she did not say goodbye may reflect anger and hurt rather than a reliable account of her actions. Overall, the song can be read as a portrait of grief turning into bitterness, while hinting that love mattered deeply precisely because its loss hurts so much.
