This is obviously a song about unrequited love. It’s taken from Raitt’s 1991 album ‘Luck of the Draw’. It is said to have been written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin. Although there have been many covers done over the years, the original recorded by Bonnie Raitt is my favourite. Welcome to some of the most heartbreaking lyrics of all time. And there you have it, what I think about the lyrics to abuse me like you do. Maybe I’m reading way too much into these lines, but that’s what I enjoy doing. This gets even better, she can’t even wait until he starts taking control, and probably not for the first time. Letting someone have control over the situation your in because they know better about the situation and you trust them is one thing, but letting someone take control because you aren’t quite sure of your own sanity, which includes your choice to stay in the relationship, isn’t a very bright idea. This doesn’t sound like anything that’s going to end up very well. What more evidence do you need to think that this may not be healthy at all? She wants to hand over all control to him, because she knows that’s her thinking is not quite right at the moment. My head’s spinning around I can’t see clear no more Being in a place that is filled with both risk and pleasure maybe what’s causing her to fade in and out of reality. What’s ironic here is that she’s on the edge of paradise, “a very beautiful, pleasant, or peaceful place that seems to be perfect”. I don’t think ‘on the edge of paradise’ is a common phrase, but to be ‘on the edge’ means to be “ in a precarious position also, in a state of keen excitement, as from danger or risk”. Some of the lyrics sound like part of any other regular love song, and I’ve conveniently left these out. The entire lyrics are about what she (the abused, in my opinion) feels about the abuser, who has ‘swept her off her feet’ and with whom she seems to be in love. If giving the lyrics a meaning like that would ruin the song for you, you might want to stop reading here. My interpretation really has nothing to do with fifty shades of grey, because I have neither read the books or seen the movie, but from what I’ve heard about the story, it does seem related. I actually think its about someone who’s in an abusive relationship but is too addicted to the elated feeling to really see the abuse. The song was written by Max Martin, Savan Kotecha, Ilya Salmanzadeh, Ali Payami and Tove Lo.īefore I start, I’ll need to warn you that I don’t think of this lyric as some lovey-dovey romantic song. As a lot of you might know “ Love Me like You Do” is a song recorded by Ellie Goulding for the soundtrack to the film Fifty Shades of Grey (2015).
