Queens of the Stone Age - It's Only Love Lyrics

Queens of the Stone Age It's Only Love cover art

In "It's Only Love," Queens of the Stone Age treat devotion as a reckless, almost self-destructive act, throwing themselves toward danger without needing a reason. The repeated contrast between a fragile twist of hope and a greasy rope captures how love feels both like the only thing worth holding and something that could slip or burn at any moment. There is no attempt to explain the fall, only the stubborn refusal to let go. The song lands on the raw truth that love can feel less like comfort and more like survival.

It’s Only Love Lyrics by Queens of the Stone Age

I throw myself on the tracks
I take a leap
Over the edge
I don’t attempt to figure out
The why or where
I just don’t care

It’s only love
This twist of hope I’m hanging on
It’s only love
This greasy rope I’m hanging on

It’s only love
This twist of hope I’m hanging on
It’s only love
