Ella
Ward M. Lyrics

The lyrics of Ward M.'s song "Ella" can be interpreted in various ways but it seems to tell the story of a person who has been travelling far and wide searching for something or someone. The first couple of lines "For you I have travelled far and wide, for to hear your lullabye, Hey rock-a-bye" suggests that the person has been travelling searching for comfort, peace, and perhaps a sense of belonging. The person may have been moving endlessly, trying to find that one thing that can soothe his/her soul, and in this case, the lullaby represents that peace and comfort.

The next few lines "And if you can't keep an eye on, at least just leave a light on for me, and I chose a star to be my guide, chose the moon to be my bride (and never die)" suggests that the person is still searching for that peace and comfort but has found solace in the mere thought of it. The star and moon here may represent hope and love, even though they are far away, the person has found a way to hold on to them. The plea to leave a light on is perhaps to suggest that although life may get tough and dark, the person still has a little hope and light that keeps him/her going.

The last few lines "We are tireless fighters, but we cannot make it on our own, we are bareback riders, we are lost on our way back home. And if you can't keep an eye on, at least just leave a light on for me" suggests that the person acknowledges that life is tough, and although he/she is putting up a fight, it's not enough. The person needs help, and that's where the plea to leave a light on comes into play. The song seems to be about hope, resilience, and seeking help, even when you feel lost and alone.
