The Schlordt’s song Until There Was You express that love can transform one’s life from feeling lost to finding hope. The lyrics speak of deep emotions, loneliness, and inner conflict that speaks before love switches everything around. Simplistic yet elaborate phrases encompass emotions of grief — feeling lost in one’s thoughts and not knowing one’s position in life.

The first few lines depict a feeling of null wherein time feels like day and night, rather it is a loop of seclusion. The suffers express how they feel aimless, as if they are navigating through a fog. The weight of the burdens one society places upon a person is overwhelming to say the least. Following the verses, primes the chorus where meeting a specific person mark a shift in one’s life. The feeling of sadness turns into joy. “Until there was you” becomes a trademark of sorts for stating how that single person managed to transform their life for the better, turning freedom and self acceptance into core values.

The significant difference between emotion laden memories of the past and present injuries instilled in someone seem impossible to overcome. Yet for some reason, when someone is willing to lend their hand and offer mercy, it seems like they just might aid them to overcome adversity. The struggle of running and fighting portrays a person in a perpetual battle with his inner demons, but is still able to go on because of the special person beside him.

The idea which The Schlordts wants to convey that love and even mere connection can alter the course of life, is beautifully depicted in the song. The lyrics serve as a reminder that at times, we remain oblivious to our identity until someone recognizes us for who we actually are. Until There Was You is a powerful reminder of love’s ability to free the heart from hidden chains and encourage one to be one’s true self.
