The lyrics of Ella Eyre's song "Two" convey a story about being stuck in a relationship that is not working out. The lines "Stuck on a crossroad, you're moving too slow" and "Here I am again, stuck inside a traffic jam" symbolize the feeling of being at a standstill and unable to move forward. The idea of a traffic jam represents the obstacles and difficulties faced in the relationship. The lyrics suggest that the person the song is directed towards is hesitant and indecisive, represented by the lines "Now you see green light, but you don't go" and "You took the wrong direction." Despite the signs and opportunities indicating progress, they are unable to take action and make a change. This lack of forward movement causes frustration and disappointment for the narrator. The repeated refrain of "Never gonna make it with you, no, we were never meant to make it as two" reflects the realization that the relationship is not destined to succeed. The lyrics highlight the differences and mismatch between the two individuals, with the lines "No way out of here, never gonna make it with you" emphasizing the feeling of being trapped. The chorus also touches on the idea of losing oneself in the relationship. The lyrics "Can't see what the mirror shows, we lost our own reflection" suggest that the narrator's identity and individuality have been overshadowed or compromised by the relationship. Overall, "Two" portrays the struggle and eventual acceptance of a relationship that is stagnant and incompatible. The song encapsulates themes of frustration, realization, and the need for introspection in order to move on from a failed relationship.
