Gravity, a force that pulls down, represents the raw emotion that keeps someone from letting go. The idea behind the song is to convey the simple truth that love cannot be completely destroyed, memories are what "always bring me back to you." A classic portrayal of feelings built up after a beak-up. "You hold me without touch. You keep me without chains." This shows how love, an intangible power, captures a heart without physically holding it back. The resentful love a woman has ties her to a man's "rain." His sadness is the cause of her pain. The tone of the song reveals the vulnerability she feels around him. "But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone." The passion lost becomes regret making it harder to move on. "Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another minute into your gravity" is the frustration felt when its time to let go. The ending verses create the inevitable feeling that sharing a relationship with someone leaves an everlasting bond. This song speaks to those who know what it's like to have a love so real and then having to let it disappear.
