Song meaning of Anything Could Happen (BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge) by Sigrid

Ah, the iconic "Anything Could Happen" by Ellie Goulding, with lyrics that sound like they were written during a dramatic episode of Riverdale. So, let me get this straight - you strip to the waist, dive into a river, cover your eyes to keep a secret, and then start reminiscing about the wreck of '86 like it's some sort of Titanic sequel. Then there's some war talk, letting darkness grow for its aesthetic value apparently, because who doesn't need darkness as part of their color palette these days? And just when you think it can't get more absurd, we have the classic offer of giving everything someone needs, but following it up with a sassy "I don't think I need you". Savage! But hey, in the end, it's all good because "anything could happen", right? Well, based on these lyrics, I'd say anything did indeed happen, and it involved a river, a secret, and a questionable color palette. Bravo, Ellie, bravo!
