Rival
ilan Bluestone feat. Ellen Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take you to another love?
Oh my love
Was it ever really made for us?
So we had our fun
Now you can be my rival
But I′m all out of luck
How can we be so cold?
Maybe we're afraid
A lover, now a rival
But it′s all part of the game
I can be your lost love
You can be my rival
See me like an animal
Running for survival
I can be your lost love
You can be my rival
See me like an animal
Running for survival
I can be your lost love
You can be my rival
See me like an animal
Running for survival
Running for survival
Running for survival
Now that the love is gone
I can be your rival
And even after all is done
Are you gonna wreck it all?
Now that the love is lost
I can be your rival
So are you gonna to let me run
Or are you gonna to wreck it all?
Now that the love is gone
I can be your rival
And even after all is done
Are you really gonna wreck it all?
Now that the love is lost
I can be your rival
So are you gonna let me run
Or are you gonna to wreck it all?
After all is done
Are you really gonna wreck it all?
After all is done
Are you really gonna wreck it all?
The song "Rival" by Ilan Bluestone featuring Ellen Smith opens with the line, "Did you feel that rush, take you to another love?" suggesting the intense and passionate nature of the relationship they both had. The singer reflects on the love they shared, questioning if it ever really had the potential to succeed. The lyric, "Was it ever really made for us?" leads the listener to believe that perhaps it was doomed from the start.
Despite the love shared, they have now reached the end of their romance, and the singer is now forced to see their former lover as a rival, someone they must compete with. The lyrics, "So we had our fun, now you can be my rival, but I'm all out of luck and running for survival" suggest that the singer is trying their best to keep their head above water, but that they may not be winning the battle.
The song poses a question about human nature and how we react when relationships come to a close. "How can we be so cold? Maybe we're afraid, a lover, now a rival, but it's all part of the game." This implies that the need to win and come out on top is ingrained in human nature and that we are often more motivated to engage in competition with those closest to us.

Oh my love
Addressing the love interest
Was it ever really made for us?
Were we ever meant to be together?
So we had our fun
We enjoyed ourselves for a while
Now you can be my rival
We can now compete against each other
But I'm all out of luck
I have run out of good fortune
And running for survival
I am trying to survive by running away
How can we be so cold?
How can we be so heartless?
Maybe we're afraid
Perhaps we fear vulnerability and getting hurt
A lover, now a rival
Someone who was once a lover is now a competitor

Running for survival
Trying to survive by running away
Now that the love is gone
Since the love between us is no more
I can be your rival
I can compete against you for other reasons
And even after all is done
Even if everything is settled
Are you gonna wreck it all?
Will you ruin everything?
Now that the love is lost
Since we have lost love
So are you gonna let me run
Will you allow me to escape?
Or are you gonna wreck it all?
Or will you destroy everything?
After all is done
When everything is over
Are you really gonna wreck it all?
Are you truly going to destroy everything?
After all is done
When everything is over
Are you really gonna wreck it all?
Are you truly going to destroy everything?
