about

“Love is Chaos” is a song about finding love after heartbreak. It’s as true a love song as singer-songwriter Elsy could write after a string of messy breakups and failed relationships.

After settling into the single life and learning to love herself fully, Elsy met a certain someone who inspired this song. It seemed ill-timed as she was finally in a place where being alone was no longer scary, in fact, it was exciting and fulfilling! Meeting this person meant tapping back into the pain and stress that Elsy associated with relationships. It was emotionally chaotic!

It felt like walking back into a battle that had taken years to forget. Love is greater than the lovers, and Elsy had to learn how to love and be loved again, but this time with more patience and more kindness. “Love is Chaos” is a snapshot of the feelings that come with a new relationship after having failed at so many before.

How insane is it to walk back into war after losing your last battle? It doesn’t make any sense, but we all do it gladly. Elsy’s song is about the disarray of falling in love. It asks the question; do we take the lessons we learn from our failed relationships and make the next one better? Or do we instead make the same mistakes over and over? Rolling into a storm we know we don’t have the resources to weather.

lyrics

Love Is Chaos
By: Lizzy Clarke
We fell in love and that takes its toll
because a part of you is with her and I know it So i fall apart but in your arms
don't you worry 'bout me I knew from the start don't you worry 'bout me I knew from the start
I've been here before I know this war cause you know I've been hurt too Baby let's roll into the storm
Cause I'm in love with you
Love is chaos and battle worn
I fall freely into your arms
echoes of our needlessly broken hearts ring out sometimes - in the chaos
So if I'm cruel or use thoughtless words
that's just shit I say when I am being foolish
When the day is done I am yours and I am won
Cause every good thing grows from something once undone Cause every good thing grows from something once undone
From ashes we came and we're ok or at least we will be soon So let's make our way into the fray Cause I'm in love with you
Love is chaos and battle worn
I fall freely into your arms
the echoes of our carefully open hearts they ring out in the chaos

There's no need to pretend
That we're not broken
Give it time and we will mend
baby come here baby come near to me
There no need to pretend (Everybody hurts sometimes)
That we're not broken (baby I’m here to make it better)
Give it just a little time and we will mend (Everybody hurts sometimes) Baby come here baby come near to me
Everybody hurts sometimes (Everybody hurts sometimes)
Ooooooo (baby I’m here to make it better)
Everybody everybody everybody hurts sometime (Everybody hurts sometimes) So Let's no pretend (baby I’m here to kiss it better)
That we're not broken (baby I’m here to make it better)
Love is chaos and battle worn
I fall freely into your arms
the echoes of our beating hearts they ring ring.....out
Love is chaos and battle worn
I fall freely into your arms
the echoes of our beating hearts they ring out
in the chaos
