Song Meaning of “Stuck in Love (feat. Ryan Ross)” by William Beckett
‘Stuck in Love (feat. Ryan Ross)’ is about not being able to let go of a lover even after the relationship has ended. It tells the story of someone who realises that they are still deeply in love with their ex even after all this time. The chorus acts as a plea to the universe to intervene and to set the protagonist free from the rollercoaster of love, feeling stuck in the same loop like they are going round in circles.
The instrumentals and the gentle production give the song a dreamy and melancholic feeling. Ryan Ross’ vocals soar sky high and the lyrics offer a passionate reflection of the intensity of love. William Beckett’s heartfelt plea of being “stuck in love” is one which so many can relate to, and its sadness brings heaviness to the song.
The lyrics capture a universal feeling of being unable to move on from the past and of not being able to let go of someone, even after they have gone. With its confessional and ambrosial lyrics, ‘Stuck in Love’ speaks to those who are stuck in that impossible limbo of loving someone they can no longer be with. It’s a forlorn but beautiful song, that can help us to realise that no matter how much pain we feel now, in time it will pass and the sunshine will eventually come back to us.
