We Found Love

"Yellow diamonds in the light" don't mean drugs, the lyrics were written long before the video was made. Yellow diamonds are very valuable and rihanna and chris brown were both very valuable people and "the light" is the limelight/fame. "standing side-by-side" they were in a relationship. "as you shadow crosses mine" someone's shadow usually means their dark side, chris brown's dark side was being abusive. "what it takes to come alive" meaning his abusiveness was what it took for her to realize she can't be with him. "its the way im feeling i just can't deny but ive gotta let it go" she loves him but she can't do it anymore. "we found love in a hopeless place" could mean that they found each other when their lives were so hectic and lonely with all their work they did and traveling. "shine a light through an open door" in a relationship if the door is closed that usually symbolizes that it's over, but this one is still open and the light could mean a glimmer of hope for her if she gets out of this relationship. "love and life I will divide" she has to separate the one she loves from her life because he is no good for her. "turn away cause I need you more" now that they are broken up she is hurt and needs him more than ever since he was the one she'd probably always confide in the most but he is the problem itself so she needs him to keep his distance. "feel the heartbeat in my mind" her heart and mind are fighitng and her heart is overcoming her better judgement and it's always reminding her that she loves him and probably resulted in constant breakup makeup episodes throughout the relationship. and then she repeats that she has to let it go in the end.
