Turbulence
Ella Vos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Prayin′ for some healin', writing on the ceilin′
Tryna fill the missin' pieces of my soul
Lightnin' on the highway, swervin′ in the fast lane
Drivin′ 'til a new day shows me where to go

′Cause I've been travelin′ round and round without a place
Move through the world alone, but I like it
Give me every high even if it burns
Gettin' into fights everywhere I turn
One day you′ll understand
There's always turbulence

Chasin' ′til the lines start to disappear
Deal with the future when it gets here
One day you′ll understand
There's always turbulence

Ever since the bright lights came on for the first time
It′s gettin' hard to rewind, harder to sit still
Higher elevation, will I ever make it?
Without a foundation or someone to keep warm

′Cause I've been travelin′ round and round without a place
Move through the world alone, but I like it

Give me every high even if it burns
Gettin' into fights everywhere I turn
One day you'll understand
There′s always turbulence

Chasin′ 'til the lines start to disappear
Deal with the future when it gets here
One day you′ll understand
There's always turbulence

Runnin′ every night
Runnin' all my life
Maybe that′s the way that I like it

Give me every high even if it burns
Gettin' into fights everywhere I turn
One day you'll understand
There′s always turbulence

Chasin′ 'til the lines start to disappear
Deal with the future when it gets here




One day you′ll understand
There's always turbulence

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ella Vos's "Turbulence" depict a person who is on a journey, both literal and metaphorical, and is struggling to find their place in the world. The first verse reveals that the person is trying desperately to heal themselves and find meaning in their life, but they are doing so alone. They are driving on the highway, swerving in the fast lane, and hoping that the road will lead them to their destination. However, they admit that they are lost, traveling round and round without a place. Despite their lack of direction, they seem content to move through the world alone.


The chorus of the song speaks to the turbulence, or chaos, that the person encounters on their journey. They are willing to take risks, even if it means they will get hurt. They are getting into fights wherever they go, and they are always chasing something just out of reach. The repetition of the line, "One day you'll understand, there's always turbulence," suggests that the person has come to accept the ups and downs of life as a constant, and they are learning to cope with them.


The second verse builds upon the first, revealing that the person has been chasing fame or success, represented by the "bright lights." However, they are finding it increasingly difficult to find a sense of stability in their life. They are at a higher elevation, both literally and figuratively, and they wonder if they will ever make it without someone to support them. The chorus repeats, emphasizing that the person is running and chasing, but they are not sure what they are running towards.

Ever since the bright lights
Came on for the first time
It's gettin' hard to rewind, harder to sit still
Higher elevation
Will I ever make it?
Without a foundation or someone to keep warm
Cause I've been travelling round and round without a place
Move through the world alone but I like it

I LOVE this message so much. This song is one of my favorites in the world.

Theres always going to be turbulence in life. something is always going to hurt or be wrong. Dont let your headspace be taken up by the hurt feelings and keep on living life! Maintain a balance between processing these feelings, but also enjoying life!
