Meaning of Red Red Wine

“Red Red Wine” by UB40 is a melancholic exploration of heartbreak and the temporary escape offered by alcohol. The core theme revolves around lost love, with the singer admitting that memories persistently haunt him despite time’s passage. He seeks solace in red wine, using it as a tool to numb the pain and momentarily forget his former partner. The lyrics express a deep sadness and yearning, highlighted by phrases like “tearin’ apart my blue, blue heart” and repeated declarations of wanting her close. Adding a unique layer is the Jamaican influence – evident in phrases like "monkey pack him rizla" - suggesting a desire to distract himself with fleeting pleasures. Ultimately, UB40 delivers a raw emotional plea for connection and comfort, showcasing how a simple indulgence can offer a brief respite from overwhelming heartache, though not a permanent solution.
