Wrecking Ball
Audiogroove 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 lyrics of Audiogroove's "Wrecking Ball" tell a story of a damaging, tumultuous romantic relationship. The opening lines - "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" - describe a passionate and intense connection between two people who are in love but also destructive. The use of words like "clawed" and "chained" suggest a sense of entrapment, while "fell under your spell" shows the singer's vulnerability and dependence on the other person. Despite the toxicity of their relationship, the singer declares that they will "always want" the other person and cannot live a lie.


The chorus of "Wrecking Ball" introduces the metaphor of a wrecking ball to describe the singer's role in the relationship. They say "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," suggesting that they were both trying to tear each other down but ultimately the other person was more successful in doing so. The line "left me crouching in a blaze and fall" is particularly poignant, as it conveys the idea that the singer has been burned and destroyed by the other person's actions. Despite all of this, there is a sense of regret and longing for what could have been, with lines like "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."


Overall, "Wrecking Ball" is a powerful and emotional song that captures the pain and heartache of a troubled romance. It uses vivid metaphors and images to convey the intensity of the relationship and the damage that was done to both parties.

Lyrics

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, you wreck me

Yeah, you, you wreck me

Original TraduçãoRådio Álbum
[Bola de demolição]

Nós arranhamos, acorrentamos nossos coraçÔes em vão
Pulamos, sem nunca perguntar por quĂȘ
Nós nos beijamos, eu cai no seu feitiço
Um amor que ninguém poderia negar

Nunca diga que eu apenas saĂ­ andando
Eu sempre irei te querer
NĂŁo posso viver uma mentira, fugindo pela minha vida
Eu sempre irei te querer

Eu cheguei como uma bola demolidora
Nunca tive um amor com tanta força
Tudo que eu queria era quebrar suas paredes
Tudo que vocĂȘ fez foi me quebrar
Sim vocĂȘ, vocĂȘ me destruiu

Eu te coloquei bem alto no céu
E agora, vocĂȘ nĂŁo estĂĄ descendo
Mudou lentamente, vocĂȘ me deixou queimar
E agora somos cinzas no chĂŁo

Nunca diga que eu apenas saĂ­ andando
Eu sempre irei te querer
NĂŁo posso viver uma mentira, fugindo pela minha vida
Eu sempre irei te querer

Eu cheguei como uma bola demolidora
Nunca tive um amor com tanta força
Tudo que eu queria era quebrar suas paredes
Tudo que vocĂȘ fez foi me quebrar
Eu cheguei como uma bola demolidora
Sim, eu sĂł fechei meus olhos e balancei
Me deixou abaixada no fogo e caiu
Tudo que vocĂȘ fez foi me quebrar
Sim vocĂȘ, vocĂȘ me destruiu

Nunca tive a intenção de começar uma guerra
SĂł queria que vocĂȘ me deixasse entrar
E ao invés de usar força
Acho que devia tĂȘ-lo deixado entrar
Nunca tive a intenção de começar uma guerra
SĂł queria que vocĂȘ me deixasse entrar
Acho que devia tĂȘ-lo deixado vencer

Nunca diga que eu apenas saĂ­ andando
Eu sempre irei te querer

Eu cheguei como uma bola demolidora
Nunca tive um amor com tanta força
Tudo que eu queria era quebrar suas paredes
Tudo que vocĂȘ fez foi me quebrar
Eu cheguei como uma bola demolidora
Sim, eu sĂł fechei meus olhos e balancei
Me deixou abaixada no fogo e caiu
Tudo que vocĂȘ fez foi me quebrar
Sim vocĂȘ, vocĂȘ me destruiu
Sim vocĂȘ, vocĂȘ me destruiu

Love this song. Loved both videos. Loved the entire album (my darling's kinda weird but still good) all in all I love Miley now more than ever. She gets crazy sometimes but her music is amazing. 

Bieber Fan

I think apart from the strange concept of the video, the song is amazing. Miley can be who she wants. She is signed to a record label, so she can be as creative as she likes

Gabe Sykes

Such a powerful song. Miley voice just hits it so hard. She totally owns this song.đŸ˜đŸ™ŒđŸ’œđŸ’œđŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„
