Ellie Goulding’s newest song was released this week. I’m totally not freaking out at all at the moment. Let me just say that I have listened to that song on repeat non-stop this past week. I am obsessed with it!
If you don’t know what song I’m talking about, search for “Still Falling For You” on any device near you ASAP.
I think anyone, no matter how young or old can relate to this song based on past experiences. Yeah, yeah, yeah it’s another “relationship” song, but her lyrics have so much meaning to them.
“This love is like fire and ice. This love is like rain and blue skies.”
This is one of my favorite lyrics out of the entire song. Why you ask? It’s because every relationship has its ups and downs. Ellie is basically saying that it is okay to have a disagreement- because what relationship have you ever had or seen that they don’t agree every once in a while? If you have, let me know! Anyways, it’s healthy to have a disagreement with your partner unless it leads to worse things. If that happens, you need to get out as fast as you can.
“It took us a while because we were young and unsure. With love on the line, what if we both would need more. But all your flaws and scars are mine.”
“But all your flaws and scars are mine.” Wow. Well, that’s pretty deep. It’s nice that she is bringing up the fact that we all have scars and baggage. I love that this lyric raises the idea of self-awareness and acceptance of each other and yourself. I’ve never understood how someone can find nothing wrong with themselves or they find something/everything wrong with another person yet can’t point out and accept their own flaws. I don’t hang around people who are like that. Ellie Goulding says that a relationship should be of love and acceptance between two people. It takes two to make a relationship work. Maybe that’s why I’ve had bad luck.
“No one can lift me, catch me the way that you do. I'm still falling for you.”
This is the lyric that I don’t necessarily agree with. You can lift yourself up and catch yourself. You don’t need a significant other to always help pick yourself up. This goes back to loving yourself and accepting yourself for who you are. But, sometimes having that person that cares for always makes things just a little bit better. On a side note, I am in no way a relationship expert. This is probably why I’m still single. Hey, but I am proud to say that I love myself and you should too.
Anyways, I’m going to go back to listening to Ellie’s new song, like I’ve been doing and having my own dance party in either my bedroom or in my kitchen. If not a dance party, then a free karaoke show in my car. Hope the people next to me enjoy my rendition of “Still Falling For You.” Feel free to join me if you’d like.
