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
The lyrics of "Wrecking Ball" by Beebs and Her Money Makers describe a tumultuous and intense relationship. The first verse sets the scene for the relationship, where two people have surrendered everything they have and given their all to be together. However, as the chorus implies, the relationship ultimately crumbles and becomes destructive. The metaphor of a wrecking ball is used to represent the force and impact the relationship has had on the singer, and how it has devastated her.
The second verse reveals that the singer herself is responsible for the destruction of the relationship. She put her partner on a pedestal and refused to let him down, causing him to feel trapped and suffocated, perhaps leading to his eventual betrayal. The singer acknowledges that she should have let him have more say in matters, and that perhaps the relationship would have survived if she had been more yielding. However, the chorus remains the same, emphasizing that the relationship ultimately hurt her, no matter who caused its end.
In short, "Wrecking Ball" tells the story of a love that was intense and passionate, but ultimately didn't survive. The destruction of the relationship hurt both parties involved, and everyone walks away with their wounds.

Never heard of Ska until lately, they don't seem to take anything seriously and I love it. The music exudes carelessness and good times.
