ECSTASY
Calvin Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And reach for the blinding light
'Cause everybody says that we're too young to see
We know that we're brave enough to be
In the state of ecstasy
In the place we're meant to be
In the state of ecstasy
Break through from the other side
And lead me to Paradise
'Cause nothing but love can take us away from here
Every time I close my eyes, we disappear
In the state of ecstasy
In the place we're meant to be
In the state of ecstasy
There is only you and me
Uh uuh, eh eh
Uh uuh, eh eh
Uh uuh, eh eh
Uh uuh, eh eh
In the state of ecstasy
In the place we're meant to be
In the state of ecstasy
There is only you and me
The lyrics to Calvin Harris feat. Hurts's song "Ecstasy" talks about being in a state of overwhelming joy and elation. It begins by talking about touching the night and reaching for the blinding light. The singer mentions that people say they are too young to understand or experience what they are going through, but they feel brave enough to be in it. The chorus talks about being in this state of ecstasy, which is where they are meant to be, and where there's only the singer and their lover.
The second verse talks about breaking through from the other side and finding Paradise, where nothing but love can take them away from there. The singer talks about every time they close their eyes, they disappear, which may mean that they feel like they're in an alternate reality or losing touch with the real world while being in this state of bliss. The chorus is repeated a few times and the song ends on a note of the two of them being together in this incredible moment.
Overall, the song is about experiencing a surreal sense of happiness with someone special, where nothing else matters and it feels like they could stay in that moment forever.

Fall back and touch the night
Step back and embrace the darkness
And reach for the blinding light
And strive for the bright light that awaits
'Cause everybody says that we're too young to see
Because people say we lack the experience to understand
We know that we're brave enough to be
However, we are confident that we have the courage to proceed
In the state of ecstasy
In the thrilling and euphoric state of being
In the place we're meant to be
In the location that destiny has chosen for us
There is only you and me
There is only the two of us in this moment
Break through from the other side
Push past the obstacles ahead
And lead me to Paradise
Guide me to the idyllic place
'Cause nothing but love can take us away from here
Because all that can transport us away from here is love
Every time I close my eyes, we disappear
Whenever I shut my eyes, we vanish
Uh uuh, eh eh

and since this song is still fairly new, it's more sad to know he died recently.
