UNRAVEL LYRICS: Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do

You're the light, you're the night
You're the color of my blood

He's the light and he's the night. He's also the colour of her blood. It shows how important he is to her, as the light represents something enlightening; the night represents something dark and can be either dangerous or safe to rest; he's the colour of her blood as in 'he is the thing that keeps her alive'

You're the cure, you're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch

He's the cure and he's the pain. When she's hurt either physically or emotionally he's the one able to console her, but he's also the main cause of her hurt - hey what can I say; people you love are often pain in the ass.

Never knew that it could mean so much, so much

She never guessed her affection, their relationship, could mean something more to her; something important.

You're the fear, I don't care
'Cause I've never been so high

He is exactly the kind of thing she's always been afraid of, but she doesn't care because he's also the only one to ever make her so happy it feels like she's swimming through the sky within the clouds. She fears him because he makes her vulnerable.

Follow me through the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life

She was dead before him. She was nothing more than another face within million, within billion. And as the 'light' came, he ignited something beneath her, something that finally makes her alive like, truly alive.

So love me like you do, love me like you do
Love me like you do, love me like you do
Touch me like you do, touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

She wants to be loved. He probably hesitated. But she loves him and she knows he knows that. So what is he waiting for?

Fading in, fading out
On the edge of paradise

She just enters the peaceful and happy place but their relationship is going up and down so she doesn't really stays in the paradise because sometimes the hell is showing up. It probably represents the shaky parts of relationship where both parties begin learning to trust each other.

Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find
Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire

"I want to touch you. I need to touch you. It is a need I can never satisfy. You ignite me. I can never get enough of you."

Yeah, I'll let you set the pace
'Cause I'm not thinking straight

Sex? Sex. Or maybe it's just that I'm waaayy too dirty minded. Maybe it's the pace of relationship. Maybe he wasn't ready (refer: Love me like you do, touch me like you do, what are you waiting for?). She lets him takes control of their relationship's pace because she understands that he cannot be pushed too far. She understands that she needs to take things slowly with him.

My head's spinning around I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?

Exactly. What are you waiting for? I'm so crazily in love with you right now that you're giving me vertigo. What are you waiting for? For me to get down on my knees and confess my love to you? Jesus Christ I've told you in so many ways throughout the song bless our relationship if your dumbass head still can't get the hints.

Conclusion: Christian Trevelyan Grey. I'm sorry I can't make better conclusion. It's just that it's already stuck in my head as Fifty Shades' official soundtrack and I can't help but to think that this song fits Christian perfectly. He's afraid of relationships and he's crazy about being in control. This song is about a lover who gives everything their lover needs in a relationship while fighting their own frustration of their lover's slow progress. If this song isn't about Christian/Ana relationship I'll strip at the City Hall while licking my own elbow. That escalated quickly.
Rating: 4.5 for soundtrack. 5 for song.


About Unravel Lyrics: Written interpretation of song lyrics by the most humblest unicorn-duck being on earth. Definitely not the best place to find real meaning of the song but hey I can be an alternative.
