Loveshock - Joshua Perahia - Logical Lyric Analysis

It recently came to my attention that Joshua Perahia is maybe not a group that should be featured in my other project, Christian Rocksong of the Day. That means it is time to dive into some of their songs and see if they need to be removed from the rotation.

I want to start by looking specifically at the song LoveShock.
Lyrics from Metal-Archives

This song starts off with an intro
Days gone, weeks are long, no way of knowing
On my own, all alone, stone cold, feelin' old
Where are you going? Cut off from you
Brought about, by what I do

This is already a little bit confusing. The first line seems to be talking about the passage of time, specifically not knowing how much time has passed. The second line goes into what has been happening in this unknown long feeling amount of time. So form these first two lines of the intro we see the singer struggling with loneliness. Line three seems to hold a minor issue, this mainly stems from the where are you going question. This feels out of place because everything else has been more of a self-reflection and now we are asking someone a question, this immediately goes to Cut off from you this statement works just fine if you didn’t just ask where someone is going. If the You is the same person in the question and the statement they why would you ask someone something if you are cut off from them? It feels like an answer to the question but it makes no sense. The final line then is the explanation that the singer is cut off from the You by the actions of the singer.

This leads to the first verse which is really just repeats of the intro.
Days gone, weeks are long, no, no, no, no, no way of knowing, left all alone
Stone cold, feelin' old, where, oh where, oh where are you going?
Cut off from you

We can then look at the chorus this is repeated:
Try to bring you back some day
Try to make the stone roll away

Something seems off here. This is trying to bring the You back, not Win them back as you might try to win a significant other back. Pair that with the trying to roll the stone away and the imagery of death gets a little stronger. What is also concerning is in that intro. – Brought about, by what I do. Is this the singer saying they have killed the You. Now one could try to make biblical connections with that as well but is that really what is happening?

Maybe verse two can start to answer some questions:
Past noon, same tune, can't, I can't, I can't stop the shaking
Stop the shaking
Night falls, four walls, where, oh where, oh where, am I going?
Caught up in you

Here we see what appears to by symptoms of withdrawal. At least I am not sure what else is meant by this shaking. Then another day is over and the four walls line would signal the feeling of being trapped. If you are trapped then why are you going anywhere? This seems to be that the singer feels stuck with nowhere to go but is constantly thinking of the You that might be dead…and that the singer might have murdered. This verse would seem like a great place to solidify the Christian connections but instead it is really just fluff.

We see another chorus before coming to the bridge that is also repeated:
Loveshock, loveshock-- it cuts it cuts right through
Loveshock, loveshock-- loving, loving, loving you
Loveshock, loveshock-- all in love

Now we get to the title. This prompts a search for any definition of Loveshock. This is not a word with a dictionary definition but it does point to a “Loveshock Theory”

                Gullo developed his "loveshock" theory after years of research into loss of a loved one through death. Just as a widow or widower goes through periods of grief, anger, acceptance and resignation, the abandoned lover or spouse goes through similar stages: grief, blame, saying goodbye and rebuilding.

This is the snippet shown by the google search and the link it is associated with seems to be broken at least for me at the time of writing.
EDIT: The snippet lists the date as 1987 and the amazon book lists 1990 while the song seems to have made its first appearance in 1985. This "theory" was probably circulating before these dates but finding hard evidence of that is not easy.

This seems to line up perfectly with what we have seen. Still not sure about the murder part.

I am not sure how to classify this next small section. I guess it is a continuation of the bridge.
Next around, new ground, breakin' breakin', breakin' right on through, searching for you

This can now be interpreted in two ways. Either the singer is still obsessing over the dead You; or this is a different you and this is the singer recovering, making a breakthrough, and searching for their next love.

We see another chorus before we get to this ending:
Caught in a loveshock, cuts right through
I'm caught in a loveshock, it's waiting for you
Caught in a loveshock,
It cuts right through

Now to me the chorus feels out of place with the searching for you line but that is because I think this is a line about the recovery of the singer. This ending seems to be all over the place, for one it also breaks the idea of the recovery as it states that the singer is still stuck with the pain of the loveshock. Also what is the it's waiting for you line about? To me this song should just end with that Bridge continuation.

What does this mean for the Christina Rock song of the Day? This song alone is not enough evidence in either direction. Be sure to go subscribe to the Youtube channel because a Joshua Perahia video is on the way. Until then, Think Before You Sing.
