Wrecking Ball
Alonzo Holt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We jumped never asking why
We kissed, I fell under your spell.
A love no one could deny
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can't live a lie, running for my life
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
I put you high up in the sky
And now, you're not coming down
It slowly turned, you let me burn
And now, we're ashes on the ground
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can't live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
And instead of using force
I guess I should've let you win
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
I guess I should've let you win
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
Alonzo Holt's song "Wrecking Ball" is a powerful ballad about a tumultuous love affair that has left both parties shattered. The first verse describes the intensity of the relationship, a love that nobody could deny. Yet, it seems that things were not meant to last, and the second verse explains how the relationship slowly turned to ashes, leaving the singer feeling wrecked. The chorus centers around the idea of coming in like a wrecking ball, suggesting that the singer aimed to break down the walls built up around their partner's heart, only to be wrecked in the process.
The bridge of the song is somewhat self-reflective. The singer admits that they never meant to start a war but merely wanted their partner to let them in. They realize that using force may not have been the right approach, and they should have let their partner win. However, in the end, they still declare their love and unwavering attraction to their partner, emphasizing that they will always want them.
One possible interpretation of this song is that it's about the struggle of trying to break into someone's heart who has built up walls. The singer's intense love for their partner leads them to attempt to break through those walls, only to be left feeling utterly devastated. The chorus's repeated reference to coming in like a wrecking ball reinforces the idea that the singer's love was so powerful that it ultimately destroyed them.
