No Luck
Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Followed footsteps catch my pace
Broken windows fall in place
Now shattered lovers find their place
We’d flirt
And you’d treat me like dirt
All the pain and the hurt
And I see you all over him
Irresistible sin
When can we be the same again?
What can I do to be making you see?
To come out clean?
You’re better off with me
We’re stuck
Taking time and wasting mine
No luck
Running around and crashing down
In you I trust nevermore
Leaving you in sand and glass
All I ever felt for you
Went up in a cloud of smoke
How I could I be such a fool
To ever think that we were close?
And I see you all over him
Irresistible sin
When can we be the same again?
What can I do to be making you see?
To come out clean?
You’re better off with me
We’re stuck
Taking time and wasting mine
No luck
Running around and crashing down
In you I trust nevermore
Leaving you in sand and glass
In the song "No Luck" by Ed Sheeran, the singer is expressing his frustration and sadness over a failed relationship. The lyrics are packed with emotions, and the vivid imagery of a shattering glass and leaving someone in sand and glass convey the idea of the relationship being fragile and broken.
The first verse talks about the singer's inner turmoil and how they can't escape the memories of their past relationship. The second verse focuses on the pain the singer has felt while in this relationship, as the person they were with treated him poorly, and the more he tried to cling to them, the more he got hurt.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire to get back together with their ex, despite their poor treatment of him. He tries to convince them that they'd be better off with him and that he can fix their relationship. However, he also acknowledges that they're "stuck" and unable to move on.
Overall, "No Luck" is a deeply emotional song that captures the pain and frustration of failed relationships, particularly when one person still has feelings for the other.
