Ellie Goulding Explosions Lyrics

Below I have pasted the lyrics of Explosions which is my song choice for my A level media music video. The lyrics speak about love and the stuggles that love can cause in a relationship. The songs lyrics also talk about being hurt by someone you love which is said though lines in the pre chorus such as "Took a blow to my face" and "I've loved and I've lost". All of the small phases thoughout the song tell a story about a person loving another person who doesnt seem to feel the same way back. I think the song has a lot of emotion and the lyrics are strong and possibly could connect well with my target audience of girls aged between 14 and 20. I will try to bring out this emotion in my music video because I feel it is important to show this and have the video as strong as the music.

"You trembled like you'd seen a ghost
And I gave in
I lacked the things you need the most,
You said where have you been?

You wasted all that sweetness to run and hide
I wonder why
I remind you of the days you poured your heart into
But you never tried

I've fallen from grace
Took a blow to my face
I've loved and I've lost
I've loved and I've lost

Explosions...on the day you wake up
Needing somebody and you've learned
It's okay to be afraid
But it will never be the same
It will never be the same

You left my soul bleeding in the dark
So you could be king
The rules you set are still untold to me
And I've lost my faith in everything

The nights you could cope,
Your intentions were gold
But the mountains will shake
I need to know I can still make

Explosions...on the day you wake up
Needing somebody and you've learned
It's okay to be afraid
But it will never be the same

And as the floods move in
And your body starts to sink
I was the last thing on your mind
I know you better than you think
'Cause it's simple darling, I gave you warning
Now everything you own is falling from the sky in pieces
So watch them fall with you, in slow motion
I pray that you'll find peace of mind
And I'll find you another time
I'll love you, another time

Explosions...on the day you wake up
Needing somebody and you've learned
It's okay to be afraid
But it will never be the same"
