Sinners

Lauren Aquilina's song 'Sinners' is a powerful anthem of defiance and love that challenges societal norms and expectations. The lyrics tell the story of two individuals whose love is deemed unacceptable by the world around them. Despite the judgment and disapproval they face, they choose to embrace their feelings and live authentically. The opening lines, 'Our lives are stories, waiting to be told / In search of silver linings, we discovered gold,' suggest that their journey together is valuable and precious, even if it goes against conventional wisdom.

The recurring theme of defying rules and societal expectations is evident in lines like 'The rules say our emotions don't comply / But we'll defy the rules until we die.' This rebellion is not just for the sake of being rebellious but is driven by a deep, genuine connection between the two lovers. The chorus, 'So let's be sinners to be saints / And let's be winners by mistake,' encapsulates the idea that their love, though seen as sinful by others, is pure and sanctifying to them. The phrase 'my world is only you' emphasizes the exclusivity and intensity of their bond.

The song also explores the allure of forbidden love, as seen in the lines 'But how can you expect me not to eat, / When the forbidden fruit tastes so sweet?' This metaphor of the forbidden fruit highlights the irresistible nature of their relationship, despite the consequences. The repeated line 'Our hearts are too ruthless to break' suggests a resilience and determination to stay together, no matter the obstacles. By the end of the song, the lovers have fully embraced their 'sinner' status, finding a sense of heaven in their defiance and love for each other.
