Wrecking Ball
KIDZ BOP Kids 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 it burn
And now, there'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 losing more
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
The song "Wrecking Ball" by KIDZ BOP Kids describes the intensity of a tumultuous relationship that leads to a painful breakup. The song starts with the lines "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." These lines depict the passionate and reckless nature of the relationship, where the two partners were willing to do anything for each other, even if it was harmful. The next lines, "Don't you ever say I just walked away / I will always want you," show that the breakup was not because of the singer's lack of commitment to the relationship, but rather due to circumstances beyond their control.
The chorus of the song, "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," is the most recognizable part of the song. It describes the singer's attempt to break down the walls of their partner's heart, but instead, they end up getting hurt. The next verse, "I put you high up in the sky / And now, you're not coming down / It slowly turned, you let it burn / And now, there are ashes on the ground," further illustrates the destructive nature of the relationship, where the promises made were not kept, and instead of creating something beautiful, the relationship was reduced to ashes.
The final verse, "I never meant to start a war / I just wanted you to let me in / And instead of losing more / I guess I should've let you win," shows that the singer regrets the way things turned out and wishes that they had done things differently. Overall, "Wrecking Ball" is a powerful song that expresses the pain and confusion that comes with the end of a relationship.
