She is co-signed by Norweigan superproducers Stargate and is the first artist to be developed by the duo. Responsible for creating hits for Sam Smith, Lizzo, Charli XCX, Beyonce, Rihanna and Katy Perry, the pair met the songstress through a mutual friend.
Influenced by her cousin, a highly regarded producer in the sync world, Ella began writing songs at the age of 13 and recorded her first demo with his help. Trained in the classic elements of opera, theatre, and choir, she made the transition to pop.
After managers advised her to change her style and dye her hair blue to appeal to the pop landscape, she was introduced to Swedish songwriters who advised her to take a trip to Sweden to regain focus and inspiration.
There, she took new inspirations and found her new music style. Ella's affinity for dynamic production composed of a genre-less sound and signature guitars provide the framework for her startling vulnerability. Grappling with OCD at young age and other life experiences, her songs touch on universal themes listeners can relate to including fear, expectations, being misunderstood and feeling lost.
A proponent of female empowerment, Ella has learned the art of vocal producing and engineering in an attempt to gain more control over her work and shatter gender roles. Her most recent work includes co-writing "San Junipero" with Bryce Vine and a collaborative session Dinah Jane from Fifth Harmony.
She was previously known as Ryder.

Ella Isaacson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They were like a glasshouse
So breakable
Stuck inside a mad house
Trapped in the walls
And all of the voices inside of my mind
Will never be silenced until I can find
A way to let go of what we left behind
Sometimes love deserves to burn in flames
Sometimes the ending is your best escape
(Ruins, ruins, ruins)
I got a heart on the edge and it wants to break
And I know that once I walk away
I won't return to the ruins
(Ruins, ruins, ruins)
I won't return to the ruins
(Ruins, ruins, ruins)
Beauty in the breakdown
I'm not afraid
The love you never gave me
Is slipping away
And all of the voices inside of my mind
Will never be silenced until I can find
A way to let go of what we left behind
(Ruins, ruins, ruins)
Sometimes love deserves to burn in flames
(Ruins, ruins, ruins)
Sometimes the ending is your best escape
(Ruins, ruins, ruins)
I got a heart on the edge and it wants to break
(Ruins, ruins, ruins)
And I know that once there was a way
I won't return to the ruins
(Ruins, ruins, ruins)
I won't return to the ruins
(Ruins, ruins, ruins)
Ashes fall to ashes and the pain will fade away
We both wanted passion it's the price we had to pay
So light the match and let the fire build into a blaze
(Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ashes fall to ashes and the pain will fade away
We both wanted passion it's the price we had to pay
So light the match and let the fire build into a blaze
(Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Sometimes love deserves to burn in flames
(Burn in flames)
Sometimes the ending is your best escape
(Ruins, ruins, ruins)
I got a heart on the edge and it wants to break
(To break, to break, to break)
And I know that once I walk away
I won't return to the ruins
(Ruins, ruins, ruins)
I won't return to the ruins
(Ruins, ruins, ruins)
(Ruins, ruins, ruins)
I won't return to the ruins
(Ruins, ruins, ruins)
I won't return to the ruins

I don't know why, but this reminds me of Suicide Squad's Enchantress.
"I won't return to the ruins!" Oh. Now I know why. I think this seems like a song that's arguing between Jane(was that her name? The scientist girl who had enchantress in her, I'll just call her Jane)and Enchantress arguing.
"And I let the voices inside of my mind, will never be silenced until I can find, a way to let go what we left behind." That's Jane's line.
"I won't return to the ruins! Ruins! Ruins! I won't return to the ruins! Beauty in the breakdown, I'm not afraid. The love you never gave me, is slipping away." Are Enchantress's lines, exc.
I just wanted to point that out that it kinda works. Have a good day!

We were like a glass house so breakable
Stuck inside a madhouse dropped in the walls
And I love the voices inside of my mind
Will never be silenced until I can find
A way to let go of what we left behind
(Ruined Ruined Ruined)
Sometimes love is oh so burned in deep layers
Sometimes the ending is the best to say
I gotta hunt on the edge anyone to break
And i know they weren't so on our way
I won't return to the ruins (x2)
Beauty in the breakdown I'm not afraid

Sometimes the ending is the best to say
