    So I LOVE the song "We Belong Together" but I am not the best at diciphering lyrics. I found some websites with the song's meaning but some people think it's about 2 people that found each other and that life is meaningless unless they are with one another, and then some people think it's about 2 people that were together and now they're aren't so that's why he hopes she "finds his gift" of love later on in life.

    I don't want a song about NOT being together for our first one so anyone know what it's about?

     

    "WE BELONG TOGETHER"
    We belong together
    Like the open seas and shores
    Wedded by the planet force
    We've both been spoken for

    The hammer may strike, be dead on the ground
    A nail to my hand, a cross on his crown
    We're done if we're undone
    Finished if we are incomplete
    As one we are everything
    We are everything we need

    We belong together
    Like the open seas and shores
    Wedded by the planet force
    We've both been spoken for

    What good is a life, with no one to share
    The light of the moon, the honor of a swear
    We can try to live the way of which you speak
    Taste the milk of your mother earth's love
    Spread the word of consciousness you see
    We are everything we need

    We belong together
    Like the open seas and shores
    Wedded by the planet force
    We've both been spoken for

    All this indecision
    All this independent strength
    Still, we've got our hearts on save
    We've got our hearts on save

    Someday when you're lonely
    Sometime after all this bliss
    Somewhere lost in emptiness
    I hope you find this gift...
    I hope you find this gift...
    I hope you find this gift.

    I believe this song was used on a movie soundtrack...that might give you some insight into the meaning of the song.  I believe it was called Tristan & Isolde??

    It's from the movie Tristan and Isolde which was about forbidden love. Honestly, no one will be analyzing the lyrics and no two people interpret the same song the same way. As long the lyrics have meaning to you and your fiance, however you interpret it, then go ahead and use it and other people's opinions don't matter in the end. That said, I think it's an acceptable choice for a first dance. But I could easily understand if someone else didn't think so.

    I like it and I dont think alot of people will sit there trying to interpret the lyrics, its a very pretty song.  And to be a complete dork, Haley and Nathan on One Tree Hill used it as their first dance song.
