Soundtrack: Invincible (TV Series)

Truly.Modern.Love Song Lyrics

[Verse]
The start of a new age
Faster than cocaine
Lighter than air weighs
Cleaner than romance
And easier than luck or fate
But harder now to spot a fake

The world that you command
Love is in your hand
Whenever you demand
You needn't understand
All you need to know is I'll find you there
Robots in a love affair

[Chorus]
This is truly modern love
Very modern love
(When I see it, then I dream it)

This is truly modern love
Very modern love
(When I see it, then I dream it)

[Verse]
The sight of my good shame
Did you the foreplay
Fill me with heat waves
Kill me with every little message that you send my way
Oh you chose not to say

Show me your best side
Did you the mudslide
Fill me with envy
Pull me away from this pathetic little life I made
How could I thank you babe?

[Chorus]
This is truly modern love
Very modern love
(When I see it, then I dream it)

This is truly modern love
Very modern love
(When I see it, then I dream it)

[Bridge]
Tap, swipe, not my type
Tap, swipe, not my type
Biding my time 'til you come along
Biding my time, what could go wrong?

Tap, swipe, not my type
Tap, swipe, not my type
Biding my time 'til you come along
Biding my time, what could go wrong?
[Chorus]
This is truly modern love
Very modern love
(When I see it, then I dream it)

This is truly modern love
Very modern love
(When I see it, then I dream it)

Song Facts:

Genre: Pop

Lyricists: The Royals

This song is included in the soundtrack for "Invincible (TV Series)".

Annotations and Meaning:

The song "Truly.Modern.Love" by The Royals is a modern love song that gets in touch with the very disposition of love in the middle of a digital relationship. It perfectly threads together the complications of current, technology-influenced love together with motivating factors. The lyrics explore the way in which modern technology is redefining human experiences of the emotion of love, including intimacy and closeness.
The line "The start of a new age / Faster than cocaine" sets an instant tone by way of hyperbole, stressing the high velocity of modern life and relationships, superior even to the velocity it takes to get high on cocaine and experience the high. It further explains that love is "cleaner than romance, And easier than luck or fate," trying to compare that, indeed, it is possible to think that digital relationships could be clean and easy, hence sanitized and simple versions of conventional romance but not with all the messiness and depth.
The line "harder now to spot a fake" suggests that love is more difficult to notice in the world, where it was before. That line of text, generally, gives the impression of the modern romanticists being full of suspicion and doubt about the world today.

The imagery of "Robrobotics in a love affair" brought forth in the chorus supports the thematic conception of a technologically injected romance. Speaking of a scenario in which love is literally mechanized may, in this sense, insinuate some futuristic affair when artificial intelligence will merge with human feelings.

This is where the bridge of the song—"Tap, swipe, not my type"—really speaks to that shallowness of the dating app, where one makes judgments with just one tap or swipe, losing the wholeness of a complex process it takes to connect with someone truly.

Modern Love: Truth with its eyes open, reconciling the intimacies and casualness of contemporary love—an absorbing, provocative exploration of deeper yet more superficial relationships, quicker yet slower to payoff in this generation struggling to connect meaningfully in a world awash with information and choice. The line "When I see it, then I dream it" repeats over and over through the song, a plea—or perhaps, 'wanting'—for ideals of love that are more and more impossible to reach in the world of the digital setting, where reality, inspired by media and technology, so often falls far short of the dream.
