[ShiiNoChii]

@hammerdesert ..... Vriska??

[CabbageScented]

@ShiiNoChii I don't think there is a troll Ellie Goulding.

[KairiAngel000]

I've loved Ellie for over a year, her album just recently came out in the U.S.

So how is it I didn't know this song untill after I bought the album!?!?! D:

[LLMJForever]

I love this song! =)

Heeh<3..

[xxRosettaxx1]

What does arrow to the knee mean...I feel like an idiot not knowing...

[VioletStarGirl11]

@xxRosettaxx1 oh god ur not the only one!!! WHAT THE HECK DOES IT MEAN PEOPLE?!?!?!?!!

[xxRosettaxx1]

@VioletStarGirl11 THANK YOU,

[flippppurple]

@xxRosettaxx1 the explanation for arrow to the knee is also a little inaccurate. I see his point, but the reason why it's so popular is because in the game Skyrim, you can talk to NPCs. One of which was a guard who tells you "I used to be an adventurer like you, but then i took an arrow to the knee". The line is just so random but humorous, that it became popular on the internet. and now its everywhere you look... (quite annoying if u ask me)

[shanaynayforever]

@VioletStarGirl11 Its a reference from the elder scrolls skyrim it means the guards took a arrow and they didn't realize it, and the one part of the body u feel the least pain at is the knee so they diddn't realize it so it was like taking the arrow in the knee. I hope that helped

[VioletStarGirl11]

@shanaynayforever Oh thanks! :) That did help.

[jinglejangle234]

@xxRosettaxx1 It's a strange irrelevant youtube meme

[AlysinXD]

@jinglejangle234 its a skyrim joke

[thiscityoflight]

@jinglejangle234 no... it's a skyrim meme

[Snarley666]

@xxRosettaxx1 - its stupid. its from skyrim. a guy on there was like "I used to be an adventurer like you, but then i took an arrow to the knee." Its so dumb. idk how it got so popular -_-

[Kristin0420]

@xxRosettaxx1 Skyrim.

[MissRiah12345]

@jinglejangle234 LOL...you don't own the lyrics but you wish you did...bless thats sweet :p

[CoolLevelsBro]

3:44 to 4:08 reminds me of t.A.t.U

[Cploversnowey7]

love it and i dont even have to come onto youtube to get the song cuz i have it on my ipod touch

[ForeverLolify]

I took an arrow to the knee

[jinglejangle234]

@ForeverLolify I took an arrow to the nose

[OMGgirls12]

Her words are so deep and meaningful, I just wish I could begin to understand how she can write such amazing songs.

[RainbowUnicornFace]

this song is so much more amazing live, with the bass running through your body and you just want to dance forever.

[TurnMyselfIn]

Hey, It's jinglejangle234! Just to let you know this is my new account...Subscribe to this one and I'll sub back as always but please let me know you have! ~

[LadyIsisXIX]

this song is literally describing a really crap moment in my life...that only happened a couple days after hearing this song. I got screwed over, but I ran after him anyways with an apology i thought he deserved. le sigh.

[jinglejangle234]

@LadyIsisXIX awwww i hope things get better <333

[launterluva654]

@jinglejangle234 what source did u use 2 make a video?

[loveuntilldeath]

@LadyIsisXIX that sucks

[cheekymonkey12354]

ellie deserves more views than that

[TheAntiWincest]

I wanna burst outta my front door and take a serious 8 mile sprint to this right now

[YourHeart2Follow]

I feel like this song is about someone being a bad influence and making you do things you don't want to, and know you shouldn't.

She dosn't want to do these things, but she can't say no to him.

"Never going to give in, even with the strength he's stealing."

"And I won't tell the truth, unless you want me to."

"For all the times I've lost my head, and found it again .... but I didn't know my own name..."

She knows what he's doing to her.

I love the messages in her songs. <3

[iMunk5]

this is my favorite song of hers :D

[angelbaby7112006]

Her voice is just amazing! Her vocal range is unbelievable and she is a lyrical genius.

[frank12761]

i love ths song!

[vaniabessos]

[lordslaya]

@danceerpantsoffgurlz

The funny part is where you said 3 videos then changed it to 5

[jinglejangle234]

@danceerpantsoffgurlz don't. even. bother. wasting precious time of your life actually doing what it says! it's a loadabull tbh. i've tried & avoided it and i'm still alive :P

[danceerpantsoffgurlz]

@jinglejangle234 haha i know, my friend was on my account, shes superstitious

[PissInTheBog]

I love Ellie's lyrics. They're so different && interesting. && they way she puts them together, into this beautiful song, it's absolutley amazing.

[jinglejangle234]

[jinglejangle234]

Handbags away ladies! Your filling up my inbox with hatred DX

[Alphabetlife]

*kid." lol fuck my touch screen.

[jinglejangle234]

@Alphabetlife haha, damn touch screens xD

[Alphabetlife]

*level of maturity in the sentence " your opinion doesn't count disney lid.

[Alphabetlife]

*You cant just throw around that statement as a cure-all comeback disney kid, especially when its baseless. There is absolutely no indication of my l

[Alphabetlife]

Lol, you cant just throw around that ststrmhere was absolutely

[Alphabetlife]

Your opinion doesn't count disney kid.

[SelenaLover097]

@Alphabetlife real mature:)

[Alphabetlife]

@SelenaLover097

Ok, now I'm on a real computer, as I was saying, you can't just throw around the statement "real mature" as a cure all come back, especially when its baseless. There is no indication of my level of maturity in what I said.

[SelenaLover097]

@Alphabetlife i was being sarcastic. and you obviously thought you were somewhat better then me for saying 'disney kid' acting as if you're much older (which automatically makes you better?:L). my opinion is just as important as everyone else's is regardless of whether i'm a 'disney kid' or not. i came her to appreciate one of my favourite songs: not to get caught up in online wars.

[Alphabetlife]

@SelenaLover097

My being better than you has nothing to do with age difference and everything to do with your apparent lack of good taste, as indicated by your username. So no, your opinion in entertainment and music doesn't matter.

Just a side note, if you don't want to get caught up in online wars, here's an idea.... Don't start them? 

[SelenaLover097]

@Alphabetlife i admit, i used to like selena, when i made this account in 2009. but for all you know this could be my sisters account or something? it's actually laughable how a grown woman is wasting her time arguing with a 13 year old on youtube. shows what you're all about, doesn't it babe?:L

[Alphabetlife]

@SelenaLover097

Im not arguing with you honey, for this to be an argument, you would have to actually have something valid to say other than the typical over played rebuffs you keep spouting. Im simply making you aware of my superiority to you. Every child needs to be put in their place at some point. Are you done throwing your temper tantrum now? :)

[xsmexiilexiiXDx]

@Alphabetlife hey listen dumbass "disney kid" OBVIOSLY doesnt make you better!!! you look like 4 in your picture soo if she likes selena gomez who cares?! ALOT OF PEOPLE DO!!! selenalover097 is probably a person who has a better life than you soo LEAVE her ALONE!!!!!!

[myluckylovelystar]

@xsmexiilexiiXDx thats really awesome that you would stand up to someone whose being made fun of :)

[jinglejangle234]

@IGotTheSaltSkin haha i download new fonts at dafont.com xDD

[jinglejangle234]

@IGotTheSaltSkin the font is called 'nothing you could say' ;D p.s love your yt name ;)

[jinglejangle234]

@IGotTheSaltSkin hehe, thankss:'D

[Alphabetlife]

This song would be so much better without the "the meaning" line.

[SelenaLover097]

@Alphabetlife Just no.

[cyrus5683]

@Alphabetlife thats like fucking the best part of the song bro, thats where the climax is!!

[Alphabetlife]

@cyrus5683

Idk, it just sounds out of place and tagged on to me.

[rubberguard83]

you're dammed if you do.. you're dammed if you dont

if you come around me.. you better have some dope....

i got that salt skin shooting up with him...

[jinglejangle234]

@rubberguard83 well said!

[z09zaa]

go ellie!

[jinglejangle234]

@z09zaa <3

[CaitlinRixOfficial]

This is about running? Wow, that's my previous views of the song dispelled D:

[jinglejangle234]

@CaitlinRixOfficial aha yea, well i think it's not also about running. i think there is lots of mixed meanings in this song xDD

[KerriDonnelly085]

hey guys really loving the smell of my feet today :D

[Ashtheorphan2817]

This song in about two people. One of them is a mean jerk. Ellie is saying how she fell in love with the mean jerk, who made her make bad choices. They both have the same goals, and Ellie is saying that even though she knows hes a jerk, she still loves him, even though hes weaving lies to her. She does't want to love him, but she does. Can we end the argument now?

[nuttypines]

the songs about running

[collie0321]

I love the note at the end....

[TheRavensCousin]

i wish I owned ellie goulding...

[jinglejangle234]

@TheRavensCousin lololololololol doesn't everyone :P

[pokachunk]

ok we get it, we know what the songs about so can people please stop filling up the comment section bout it please? and talk about how you like the song? i like this song :3

[jinglejangle234]

@pokachunk people just like to share their views on what the songs about nothing wrong with that :3 but yeah i know what you mean! :P

[fzlllinda]

my interpretation of the song is that its about 2 people that have been hurt and stabbed in the back, and they're in the same boat and their never going to give in...

I dont really understand it but i think that might be the gist of it 0.o

[jinglejangle234]

@fzlllinda i guess it's just mixed things that happens in a relationship <3333

[PaigeeSophieex]

can someone tell me what the songs about?<3

[LinusIsCannibal]

Like this if you think she should make a music video to this song!<3

[lg135]

Love this song! Great lyric here too :3

Just one thing... the digi booklet my friend sent me says the last line of the chorus is "The meaning of" I guess that's what the "ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah" part is? :P

[TheMiltonbiagioni]

Sophie Ellis Bexter + sixpence none the richer; clearly!

[Ashtheorphan2817]

this song is about religon and war. Love it



[jinglejangle234]

@Ashtheorphan2817 really? i didnt know that rofl!

[LinusIsCannibal]

@Ashtheorphan2817 It's actually not. juss sayin.

[SelenaLover097]

@Ashtheorphan2817 religion and war? hm, interesting interpriation.

[ToryElyseDoll]

this song reminds me of stealing my Love from my best friend.

[bharatsermal]

[daniepdx]

[Ashtheorphan2817]

[daniepdx]

@Ashtheorphan2817

You get to see her and feel her energy being there live...so in that sense it was different. She was so fantastic!!

[SelenaLover097]

deffinatley my favourite track out of all of them, there's something about this song that's a bit more darker & deep. almost magical? amazing song, keep it up ellie<3

[jinglejangle234]

@SelenaLover097 yeah its my fav song out of the album too along with 'your biggest mistake' ;D, yes i think there is different meanings to this song! x

[jinglejangle234]

[jinglejangle234]

@bubblezZ05 ahhhh thanks for explaining!

[jinglejangle234]

@Tzhaaris agreed

[jelly4997]

This song is so gonna become big soon I even heard it playing in a shop today!

[SelenaLover097]

@jelly4997 you heard it in a shop!? what country do you live in?

[jelly4997]

I think it would be funny and cooler if she called it sweat :L

[jinglejangle234]

@jelly4997 aha yeaah

[skyyrocketaway]

I listen to this while I run =)

[jinglejangle234]

@skyyrocketaway cool! =D

[floooble3]

The intro really reminds me of something, and I can't figure out what. Maybe a video game? idk.

Love this song!!

[jinglejangle234]

@floooble3 well it has been on a few bbc documentaries maybe you have heard it from there lol

[yoyoyo121100]

salt skin is just another way of saying sweat, Ellie Goulding wrote this song about running but obviously sweat as a song title sounds kind of weird so she called it salt skin for all those people who did not understand the song title. anyways love this song its amazing.

[littlemissluna1]

@yoyoyo121100 i was listening to a radio station and it said she was gonna call it sweat right through but it sounded weird :) i totally agree this song IS amazing :D

[Ashtheorphan2817]

@yoyoyo121100 It could also be about tears....

[jinglejangle234]

@Ashtheorphan2817 could be cuz tear taste of salt a little

[braylieboop]

i wuv dis song

[Cloeb9o]

what does salt skin actually mean?

[jinglejangle234]

@Cloeb9o salty substance or someone's skin i think lool like a type of scent

[nuttypines]

@jinglejangle234

the song 'salt skin' is about her running but she didnt think it would sell as well if she called it 'sweat' :P

[Kapixie]

@Cloeb9o sweat
