Lyrics meaning

The speaker promises to love someone with extraordinary intensity. The repeated “I’m going to love you” gives the song a bold, almost overwhelming tone. The feeling grows from passionate desire into something that seems to last through the night and approach madness. The speaker also reveals a more vulnerable wish: to love the other person as deeply as he himself has longed to be loved.

The lyrics use striking exaggeration to make this passion feel larger than life. References to the walls of Jericho trembling and to divine thunder suggest a force powerful enough to shake the world. Images of burning, fire, and a night that seems to grow old convey desire that lasts until morning. “Seventh heaven” is an expression for extreme happiness, though here it is joined with images of physical exhaustion and renewed desire.

The song can be heard as a declaration of devoted, sensual love, but its language is deliberately extreme. Comparisons to madness and suffering may signal emotional intensity rather than literal pain. The speaker’s promise to love “like no one has dared” could sound romantic, boastful, or even possessive, depending on how it is heard. Its final emotional note is therefore not only desire, but also a longing for love returned.
