Black Hole
Ana Johnsson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I swore it on my life
And helplessly i'm falling, crawling
Can't shake your gravity, your velvet talk just takes me
Holds me, pulls me away from being me, i'm lost into unknown
Don't know what's right for me

Your love is my black hole
My feet won't touch the ground

But i keep falling down, and down
You're pulling me in, breaking me out
Starting to be, all i'm about, gotta break through
Find my way out, from you

You're feeding off of me, my light is your existence, resistence
Forget it, your touch is blinding me
I try to leave you in, i'm sliding back again

Your love is my black hole
My feet won't touch the ground
But I keep falling down, and down
You're pulling me in, breaking me out
Starting to be, all i'm about, gotta break through
Find my way out from you

From you, from you...
Just find a way back to myself

Your love is my black hole
My feet won't touch the ground
But I keep falling down, and down
You're pulling me in, wearing me out
Starting to be, all i'm about, gotta break through
Find my way out, from you, you, you...

(black hole) I gotta find a way

(black hole, black hole) I gotta find a way
From you, you, you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Black Hole" by Ana Johnsson describe the intense attraction towards someone who has complete control over the subject's emotions. The singer of the song is helplessly falling towards this person who has a magnetic personality, and the force of their attraction is so strong that the singer feels like they are lost in an unknown world. They are unable to break free from this person's hold over them because they are unsure about what's right for them. In this sense, the love interest is a "black hole," a space in the universe where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. The singer's feet won't touch the ground, and they keep falling deeper and deeper into this person's power.

As the song progresses, the singer begins to realize that being trapped in this "black hole" of love is toxic. They openly address the fact that this person feeds off of their light and existence, and their touch is blinding. The singer tries to escape this person's hold but finds themselves constantly sliding back into the black hole of this person's love. They want to find their way back to themselves, break away from this person's control and find their individuality again.

Overall, the lyrics convey the struggles of being caught in a toxic and overwhelming relationship. The gravity of this person's love is so strong that it's causing the singer to lose sight of who they are, and they are desperate to break free and find their way back to themselves.

Line by Line Meaning

I swore it on my life
I made a promise that I am willing to risk my own life for

And helplessly i'm falling, crawling
I am falling and crawling towards you without any control over my actions

Can't shake your gravity, your velvet talk just takes me
I am unable to resist your pull and your smooth words are captivating me

Holds me, pulls me away from being me, i'm lost into unknown
Your hold on me is whisking me away from my true self and I am lost in an unfamiliar place

Don't know what's right for me
I am unsure of what is the right decision for me

Your love is my black hole
Your love is a void that is sucking me in, like a black hole

My feet won't touch the ground
I feel like I am floating and have no solid footing

But i keep falling down, and down
I am continuously falling deeper into the black hole of your love

You're pulling me in, breaking me out
You are dragging me in, while simultaneously breaking me free from something else

Starting to be, all i'm about, gotta break through
I am becoming defined by my feelings for you, but I need to find a way to separate myself from that

Find my way out, from you
I need to find a way to disconnect from your love and escape the black hole that is consuming me

You're feeding off of me, my light is your existence, resistance
You are draining me of my energy and your existence depends on my presence, making it hard for me to resist

Forget it, your touch is blinding me
I am unable to see past my feelings for you because your touch is overwhelming me

I try to leave you in, i'm sliding back again
I attempt to move away from you, but I keep falling back into your grasp

You're pulling me in, wearing me out
You are physically and mentally exhausting me as you continue to draw me closer to you

From you, from you... Just find a way back to myself
I need to rediscover myself and break free from the hold you have on me

I gotta find a way from you, you, you
I have to find a way to escape your grasp and break free from your love
