In Ecstasy
Draa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another ruse of problems fell too far from being small
This is the very
Ecstasy of love
Ecstasy of love
Dazed from what I thought it of, darkening memory
Questioning with wicked tongues, forgetting future dream
Ecstasy of love
Ecstasy of love
Ecstasy of love
Love

In Draa's song "In Ecstasy," the lyrics paint a picture of a mind struggling with the complexities of love. The first line, "Forgotten bundled roses, hanging up against the wall," suggests a neglected beauty, the fact that the roses are "bundled" implying they were once carefully arranged, but are now disregarded. The singer then states, "Another ruse of problems fell too far from being small," indicating that this relationship has faced challenges that have now grown into something much larger. The use of the word "ruse" suggests that these problems may have been fabricated or exaggerated, but regardless, they have taken their toll on the relationship. The main refrain of the song, "This is the very Ecstasy of love," is repeated three times, perhaps to emphasize that, despite the difficulties, the feeling of love is still present and powerful.
The second verse describes the disorienting effect that love can have on the mind. The singer is "Dazed from what I thought it of, darkening memory," suggesting that their previous perceptions have been altered and their memories clouded. They are then "Questioning with wicked tongues, forgetting future dream," indicating a lack of clarity or direction for the future. The repetition of the refrain seems to anchor the song, reminding the listener that, despite these struggles, the ecstasy of love endures.
Overall, this song portrays the complicated emotions that come with being in love, emphasizing that the feeling of ecstasy is often intertwined with pain and confusion.
