Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive
It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Shine a light through an open door
Love and life I will divide
Turn away 'cause I need you more
Feel the heartbeat in my mind
It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Yellow diamonds in the light
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
"We Found Love" by Rihanna/Boyce Avenue is a powerful and emotionally charged song that explores the complexity of love and relationships. At the beginning of the song, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of an individual who is struggling to cope with the aftermath of a difficult breakup. The person feels isolated and invisible, as though they are screaming out but no one is around to hear them. The lyrics convey the deep emotional pain someone can feel when they lose someone whom they love dearly, and how it can consume them.
The song speaks to the transformative power of love despite its origins from a hopeless place. The chorus refrain "We found love in a hopeless place" is repeated throughout the song, reminding us of the power of love to uplift and transform even the most unlikely of situations. The diamond metaphor used in the song ("Yellow diamonds in the light") is a symbol of hope and light that shines even in the darkest moments of one's life. Throughout the song, Rihanna/Boyce Avenue's vocals deliver a message of resilience and hope, encouraging listeners to take control of their pain and to allow themselves to heal while holding onto the beautiful memories of the love they had.
The song is a tribute to the transformative nature of love and the way it can heal one's heart despite the hardships of life. The lyrics convey powerful emotions and resonate with anyone who has undergone a difficult breakup, a loss, or struggles with the complexities of love. The song's raw emotion and honest lyrics make it relatable to listeners on a deep and personal level.
