about

‘Meaning Of Our Love’ is the first taste of new music from the young R&B enigma who emerged into the Australian music scene in 2019 after years of travelling abroad. Heavily inspired by this time, the globetrotter has been praised for her unique ability to remain grounded and authentic through her music, while presenting a fresh lens on universal themes of the intimate and personal. Traversing through love’s fragilities with incredible candor, Sawires shares that ‘Meaning Of Our Love’ is “about finding balance and peace within a relationship and asking the universe to step in for guidance.”

First penned in 2018 in a fairytale setting, Sawires brings the mystique of the French castle and its surrounding forest that inspired the release, right through ‘Meaning Of Our Love’s spirit. Produced by Konstantin Kersting (Tones & I, Mallrat), Mariam found inspiration from the grand bedrooms and magnificent libraries within. Books stacked with stories and histories waiting to be consumed, she was especially taken by the people the pages filled, the vivid tales they illustrated, and how similar they were to her own despite occurring in the years gone past.

lyrics

You do exercises then recognise that you aint ready for love
Then you get tired and criticise that I aint capable of love
I'm not the one who wanted to go
I'm not the one who wanted to go
I'm not the one who wanted to go
I'm not the one who wanted to slow it down

What's the meaning of our love for you? (God)
What's the meaning of our love for you? (God)
What's the meaning of our love for you? (God)
What's the meaning of our love for you?

We go round in circles knowing the truth hurt
but we both came here for the ride
Don't keep on fading
Oh quit debating
We both know each other's light
I'm not the one who wanted to go
I'm not the one who wanted to go
I'm not the one who wanted to go
I'm not the one who wanted to slow it down

What's the meaning of our love for you? (God)
What's the meaning of our love for you? (God)
What's the meaning of our love for you? (God)
What's the meaning of our love for you?

And you take but you don't give back (oh no)
And I really don't like you just saying that
What you take but you're forgetting
that I'm waiting for you...

What's the meaning of our love for you? (God)
What's the meaning of our love for you? (God)
What's the meaning of our love for you? (God)
What's the meaning of our love for you?
