Love In Ruins (feat. Sinead Harnett)

The song 'Love In Ruins' by Gryffin featuring Sinéad Harnett draws from a personal experience of the singer, when another woman fell in love with her ex-boyfriend and wanted to enter into their relationship. The lyrics reveal the singer's internal struggle as she imagines what it would be like to let someone else into her relationship. The phrase "Now I'm learning three is more than two" reflects an attempt to view the love triangle as something positive, but it also carries the tension and uncertainty of this dynamic.

The lyrics also explore the duality between the desire and fear of destroying the relationship. "I know that we could leave our love in ruins" and "bury this six feet in the grave" are powerful metaphors that illustrate the risk of ruining the love they share. At the same time, the curiosity and desire to experience something new are evident in "I wanna know the hurt that hits when you kiss her lips." This line suggests a mix of pain and fascination, a willingness to test the limits of love and fidelity.

Ultimately, the song emphasizes the woman's deep connection with her ex-boyfriend. "I'll only wake with you" reaffirms the singer's commitment to her partner, highlighting that deep down, she only wants to be with him. The song is an honest and vulnerable exploration of the challenges and complexities of modern relationships, where monogamy is questioned and boundaries are tested.
