- Modern Love Lyrics / with translationsI know when to go out
I know when to stay in
Get things done
I catch the paper boy
But things don't really change
I'm standing in the wind
But I never wave bye bye
But I try, I try
There's no sign of life
It's just the power to charm
I'm lyin' in the rain
But I never wave bye bye
But I try, I try
Never gonna fall for
Modern love, walks beside me
Modern love, walks on by
Modern love, gets me to
The church on time
Church on time, terrifies me
Church on time, makes me party
Church on time, puts my trust
In God and man
God and man, no confessions
God and man, no religion
God and man, don't believe
In modern love
It's not really work
It's just the power to charm
I'm still standing in the wind
But I never wave bye bye
But I try, I try
Never gonna fall for
Modern love, walks beside me
Modern love, walks on by
Modern love, gets me to
The church on time
Church on time, terrifies me
Church on time, makes me party
Church on time, puts my trust
In God and man
God and man, no confessions
God and man, no religion
God and man, don't believe
In modern love
Modern love, walks beside me
Modern love, walks on by
Modern love, gets me to
The church on time
Church on time, terrifies me
Church on time, makes me party
Church on time, puts my trust
In God and man
God and man, no confessions
God and man, no religion
God and man, I don't believe
In modern love
Modern love, modern love, modern love
Modern love, modern love, modern love
Modern love, modern love, modern love
Modern love, modern love, modern love
Modern love, walks beside me
(Modern love)
Modern love, walks on by
(Modern love)
Modern love, walks beside me

✔️
When we reflect on what the artist might have meant, David Bowie’s 'Modern Love' is a very intricate and deep song that brings to light the different facets of life and, in a way, suggests the actual reasons and the meaning of relationships and expectations from society. The words in the song indeed portray the childhood, the self, and the social strain with such a great metaphor as 'young American' that probably means the longing for independence and the quality of being real even in such a world where the norm is to be encased and not to have liberties and to be full of uncertainties. The lyrics of Modern love highlight the most different aspects of the love and social commentary to the reflection, nostalgia, and freedom. On the other hand, the song also brings attention to the young and the self, the disconnect with the society and the yearning. The lyrics are heavily charged with adult matters in the area of love and relationships, social issues, and even philosophy that could be inappropriate for kids under 13 years. Besides, there are sexually related references, and usage of language that might be regarded as unsuitable for the very young audience.
