Ordinary Love
Ultra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A little hope,a little dream
On your horizon is all that you need
I start believing that feelings
Are emotions that we all can do without
And I know I'll be running around
Until I've found a way
To work it all out
Chorus:
Ordinary love is all that I need
But ordinary rain just falls down on me
From ordinary time to time
There'll be people I see
Ordinary love just won't find me

I rise to heaven,I fall to earth
Give me the meaning now to make it all work
I'll find the reason for feelings
Up there and so I learn to move along
And I know I'll be coming around
Just when I've found a way
To make it alright

Chorus

Find me
Oh,oh,oh,oh
And I feel that it's over

From ordinary time to time
There'll be people I see
Ordinary love find me




Find me,find me
Oh yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ordinary Love by Ultra are thought-provoking and explore the concept of love and its ordinariness in our daily lives. In the first stanza, the singer highlights that hope and dreams are all that we need to make our lives content. However, he quickly dismisses the importance of feelings and emotions and suggests that he is willing to keep himself busy until he finds a way to live without them. It highlights the growing sentiment towards individualism in society, where one seeks happiness on their own terms.


The chorus brings up the idea that while ordinary love is all that one needs, the realities of life are not as simple. For instance, ordinary rain falls on everyone and so does the daily mundane routine. The singer implies that it is hard to find love in such situations. The second stanza builds on the same idea, where the singer talks about the fluctuation between feeling elevated and falling to the ground simultaneously. He seeks meaning in these emotions to make them work for him, but the realization that that is not really possible is dawning on him.


Overall, the song is a commentary on the complexity of human emotions and the difficulties of finding true love amidst it all. The song does not celebrate love in a typical way but instead highlights its ordinary nature in our lives while still seeking it out. Thus, the lyrics prompt us to think about the true nature of love and its ordinariness in our lives.
