All Because Of You

Julia Volkova's song "All Because Of You" delves into the emotional turbulence that comes with a complicated and painful love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is deeply affected by a relationship that has gone awry. The opening lines, "Eyes wide open, Try to fall asleep," suggest a state of restlessness and insomnia, a common symptom of emotional distress. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the protagonist struggles to breathe and feels on the verge of breaking down.

The chorus, "I do the things I do, All because of you," is a powerful admission of how much influence the other person has over the protagonist's actions and emotions. This repeated line emphasizes the depth of the impact, making it clear that every action and reaction is a direct result of this tumultuous relationship. The phrase "Now I just hate to love you, But I can't fake" reveals the internal conflict of loving someone who causes pain, yet being unable to pretend otherwise.

The song also touches on themes of betrayal and disillusionment, as seen in the lines "Gave you all I had, But found a lie." This betrayal has left the protagonist feeling torn to pieces, with no more tears to cry. The closing lines, "Suddenly found myself broken down on my knees, Hoping that someone will bring back reality," encapsulate the desperation and longing for a return to normalcy. Volkova's emotive delivery and the raw, honest lyrics make this song a poignant exploration of the complexities of love and heartbreak.
