We Found Love
Rihanna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive
It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Shine a light through an open door
Love and life I will divide
Turn away 'cause I need you more
Feel the heartbeat in my mind
It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Yellow diamonds in the light
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Rihanna's "We Found Love" is a dance-pop hit that tells the story of two lovers who discovered the power of love in an unlikely place. The first verse of the song begins by describing "yellow diamonds in the light" that represent the little sparks of joy in life that we often overlook in the daily grind. As the two protagonists stand side by side, their shadows cross, symbolizing how their lives now intersect. The chorus, "We found love in a hopeless place," is repeated four times, emphasizing that the couple found love in a space where others may have given up.
The second verse of the song takes on a more somber tone as it explores the darker side of love. The lyrics describe the conflict between the singer's desire to be with their love object, and the reality of their situation. The singer wants to both "shine a light through an open door" to discover what is on the other side and "turn away" simultaneously so as not to become too invested in the relationship. The chorus is repeated several times throughout the song, adding to its overall message that love can be found and nurtured in even the most challenging of circumstances.
Overall, "We Found Love" is a powerful song that speaks to the complexities of romantic relationships. It is a testament to the idea that love can be discovered even in the bleakest of spaces, and it encourages listeners to remain open to new experiences and possibilities in life.

It's like you're screaming, and no one can hear
You almost feel ashamed
That someone could be that important
That without them, you feel like nothing
No one will ever understand how much it hurts
You feel hopeless; like nothing can save you
And when it's over, and it's gone
You almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back
So that you could have the good
