Wrecking Ball
Annisokay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We clawed, we chained, our hearts in vain
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 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 break me
Yeah, 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 break me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crouching in a blaze and fall
All you ever did was break me
Yeah, 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 in
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
I guess I should've let you in

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 break me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crouching in a blaze and fall




All you ever did was break me
Yeah, you wreck me

Overall Meaning

The song Wrecking Ball by Annisokay is a tale of a tumultuous relationship that ended in heartbreak and the singer's regrets on how things turned out. The opening verse starts with a reference to the various attempts made by both parties to make the relationship work- from clawing to chaining their hearts in vain.

The chorus of the song has the singer reflecting on how the relationship ended- with him coming in like a wrecking ball, hitting hard in love. He wanted to break down the walls that the other person had built around themselves, but instead, they broke him down. Despite the heartbreak and being left as ashes on the ground, the singer can't deny that he will always want the other person.


The final verse has the singer reflecting on what he should have done differently. He realizes that instead of trying to force his way into the other person's life, he should have let them in. The song's somber and regretful tone is enhanced by the melodic instrumentation, with the chorus's explosive drums and guitar riffs.

@ggthxpwnt

They both stole it from Ron Jeremy

@TheWickedRomancer

I think these guys could make me love any song...I absolutely HATE Miley's version, but this?  This is really good. 

@anna-lenahartung1341

That's is right

@cosmicjules

This doesn't get enough credit for being an incredible cover. All the other covers I've seen of the same or similar genres don't have the same emotion and epic sound. I have found that I am obsessed with this cover and with this band. They did something really amazing with this.

@MicaFI

Im not sure if I should cry or laugh, this was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

@jinobaling5220

heard this cover many years ago and the young me did not who covered it, was looking at it for a while after I randomly remembered it. This cover made me love the song and I don't even bother listening to the original. Now that I've found it, my childhood self can finally go in peace hahahaha

@rogueguineapig

I think the reason that this version "takes a wrecking ball" to all the other versions is because they capture the emotion so much better than Miley and ABR did. It's not a slam against the original or anything, but annisokay embodied the post-relationship demolished feeling with the vocals and music... I still think this song is so underrated by YouTube and the music community writ large. I'mma do my part and share it again!

@99toyotacorolla

ABR is a wrong choice for this song. Don't get me wrong, ABR is my second favorite band after Parkway Drive but they did a bad job covering this song.

@danielagu6185

+Omnitr0N I kind of agree. ABR is also one of my favourite bands but their cover shouldn't have seen the daylight.
