Wrecking Ball
Julia van der Toorn Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We clawed, we chained our hearts in vain
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 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
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 crashing 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

Don't you ever say I just walked away
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 crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me

Yeah, you, you wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Julia van der Toorn’s song “Wrecking Ball” describes a tumultuous relationship. The opening verse, “We clawed, we chained our hearts in vain, we jumped never asking why” indicates a love that was intense but maybe not well thought-out. The song also indicates that the singer was under the spell of the person they were in love with, “We kissed, I fell under your spell. A love no one could deny.” The singer seems to be aware of the negative effects this relationship is having on them, but they can't let go, "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."

The chorus, “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," compares the singer's love to a destructive force. The chorus also reveals that the singer is blaming the person they love for their own pain. They feel like they were putting in all the effort to break down the walls between them, but the other person didn't reciprocate. The lines, “It slowly turned, you let me burn, and now we're ashes on the ground” also suggest that the relationship has ended badly.

Overall, “Wrecking Ball” is a song about a toxic relationship where the singer is blaming their partner for their own pain. The song also highlights how love can be both positive and negative, and how it can be difficult to let go of a relationship that hurts us.
