Okay, my thoughts on this song. The first four lines are in my opinion about the effects of love, it makes you feel like you are going to explode, the 'reaction' starts, but then the feel of a lovers arm sends the adrenaline pumping, acting like a catalyst to speed up the process. But as we are only human, its hard to cope with this feeling and 'although we stick together it seems that we are stranging one another' to me means that because we cant cope with the pressure love gives us, we enevitable mess it up.. The next verse reiterates my point, saying that love is volatile, sometimes the 'hit' you get from love is amazing, sometimes it upsets you, sends you on a massive down.. the verse, an equation heaven sent, a drug for angels, to me suggest florence is saying it was a strange gift from heaven, the angels treat love as a drug that they can use without all the negative effects, because they are angels and they know perfection and purity. Maybe they where wrong to give this 'drug' to the humans as we cannot cope with it like the angels can. I dont mean this like there are littoral angels, just metaphorically. Like she also says, there is nothing like the feeling of love, its utter craziness, unpredictable, it can escalates feelings, anxieties stress and all emotions at once. Its like shes maybe comparing it to heroine, like, when its pure, it gives a better feeling but it can still kill you, when its cut with crap, the highs is still what an addict needs, but its more dangerous because it makes you feel worse.. Strangeness and charm, strangeness is the feeling of love, but no matter the experience of it, at some point it has a certain charm that makes you want it. |

| Ellie Goulding – Figure 8 Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I believe this is a tragic love song about a someone who was so in love with another person. Believed everything he/she told them but then they broke all the promises. But every thing that was promised to the person, they clutch to, desperately trying to keep the connection of love from breaking. The figure 8 is the sign for infinity and its never ending, like the person trying to run for the love, never finding the end, but also never letting go of the initial feelings. The person, knows that it like being in a dream waiting, and contemplates suicide "still not to old to die young" I believe its suicide because of this, and to try and live in the dream, and in the loop of the figure 8 but when they were in love.. | |
