Everyone Who Falls In Love (Has Someone Else They’re Thinking Of)

Cian Ducrot's song "Everyone Who Falls In Love (Has Someone Else They’re Thinking Of)" delves into the complexities and emotional baggage that often accompany new relationships. The lyrics poignantly capture the struggle of moving on from past loves while trying to build something new. The song opens with the protagonist acknowledging that his partner still thinks of her ex when they are intimate, highlighting the lingering presence of past relationships in their current one. This sets the tone for a narrative filled with emotional conflict and introspection.

The chorus, with its repeated line "Everyone who falls in love has someone else they're thinking of," serves as a universal truth that many listeners can relate to. It suggests that the ghosts of past relationships often haunt new ones, making it difficult to fully commit and feel 'enough' for the new partner. The protagonist's self-doubt is palpable as he questions whether he is the one making his partner feel inadequate, adding another layer of emotional complexity to the song.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics shift towards a plea for mutual forgetting and moving on. The protagonist urges his partner to forget her past lover, just as he tries to forget his. This mutual agreement to let go of the past is portrayed as a necessary step for their relationship to thrive. However, the repeated refrain of "never enough" underscores the persistent insecurity and the challenge of truly leaving past loves behind. Ducrot's emotive delivery and the song's melancholic melody amplify the sense of longing and unresolved emotions, making it a deeply resonant piece for anyone who has struggled with the shadows of past relationships.
