Wrecking Ball
Jasmine-thompson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We jumped, never asking why
We kissed, I fell under your spell
A love no one could deny
Don′t you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can't live a lie, running for my life
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah you, you wreck me
I put you high up in the sky
And now, you′re not coming down
It slowly turned, you let me burn
And now, we're ashes on the ground
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can′t live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crouching in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah you, you wreck me
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
And instead of using force
I guess I should′ve let you win
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
I guess I should've let you win
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crouching in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah you, you wreck me
In Jasmine Thompson's version of Wrecking Ball, the lyrics describe a tumultuous, destructive relationship in which both parties have put their hearts on the line, only to suffer the consequences of a crash and burn. The song speaks to the power dynamics of such a relationship, in which one person seems to hold all the cards while the other is left vulnerable and powerless. The imagery of chains, fire, and being wrecked all serve to illustrate the pain and suffering that the singer of the song has endured.
The chorus, in particular, is a powerful statement about the unbalanced nature of the relationship, with the singer laying it all on the line: "I came in like a wrecking ball, I never hit so hard in love, all I wanted was to break your walls, all you ever did was wreck me." This is a bold, vulnerable statement that speaks to the depth of feeling that the singer has for their partner, despite the fact that the relationship has ended in ruins.
Overall, Wrecking Ball is a poignant and powerful song in which the raw emotion of the lyrics is brought to life by Jasmine Thompson's emotive performance.
