Original Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They say, "The holy water's watered down
And this town's lost its faith
Our colors will fade eventually"
So, if our time is runnin' out
Day after day
We'll make the mundane our masterpiece
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my love
I take one look at you
[Chorus]
You're takin' me out of the ordinary
I want you layin' me down 'til we're dead and buried
On the edge of your knife, stayin' drunk on your vine
The angels up in the clouds are jealous knowin' we found
Somethin' so out of the ordinary
You got me kissin' thе ground of your sanctuary
Shatter me with your touch, oh, Lord, return mе to dust
The angels up in the clouds are jealous knowin' we found
[Verse 2]
Hopeless hallelujah
On this side of Heaven's gate
Oh, my life, how do ya
Breathe and take my breath away?
At your altar, I will pray
You're the sculptor, I'm the clay
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, my, my
[Chorus]
You're takin' me out of the ordinary
I want you layin' me down 'til we're dead and buried
On the edge of your knife, stayin' drunk on your vine
The angels up in the clouds are jealous knowin' we found
Somethin' so out (Out) of the ordinary (Ordinary)
You got me kissing the ground (Ground) of your sanctuary (Sanctuary)
Shatter me with your touch, oh, Lord, return me to dust
The angels up in the clouds are jealous knowin' we found
[Bridge]
Somethin' so heavenly, higher than ecstasy
Whenever you're next to me, oh, my, my
World was in black and white until I saw your light
I thought you had to die to find
[Chorus]
Somethin' so out of the ordinary
I want you laying me down 'til we're dead and buried
On the edge of your knife, stayin' drunk on your vine
The angels up in the clouds are jealous knowin' we found
Somethin' so out (Out) of the ordinary
You got me kissing the ground (Ground) of your sanctuary (Sanctuary)
Shatter me with your touch, oh, Lord, return me to dust
The angels up in the clouds are jealous knowin' we found
They say, "The holy water's watered down
And this town's lost its faith
Our colors will fade eventually"
So, if our time is runnin' out
Day after day
We'll make the mundane our masterpiece
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my love
I take one look at you
[Chorus]
You're takin' me out of the ordinary
I want you layin' me down 'til we're dead and buried
On the edge of your knife, stayin' drunk on your vine
The angels up in the clouds are jealous knowin' we found
Somethin' so out of the ordinary
You got me kissin' thе ground of your sanctuary
Shatter me with your touch, oh, Lord, return mе to dust
The angels up in the clouds are jealous knowin' we found

Translation
English
[Verse 1]
Dicen: "El agua santa está diluida
Y esta ciudad ha perdido su fe
Nuestros colores eventualmente se desvanecerán"
Así que, si nuestro tiempo se agota
Día tras día
Haremos nuestra cotidianidad una obra maestra.
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my amor
Te tomo un vistazo a ti
[Chorus]
Me sacas de lo ordinario
Quiero que me des encima hasta que estemos muertos y enterrados
Al borde del cuchillo, bebiendo vino hasta estar borracho
Los ángeles en las nubes son celosos porque supieron que encontramos
Algo tan fuera de lo común
Me haces besar el suelo de tu santuario
Torname con tu tacto, oh Señor, devuélveme a polvo
Los ángeles en las nubes son celosos porque supieron que encontramos
[Verse 2]
Aleluya desesperado
En este lado del portal del cielo
Oh, mi vida, ¿cómo lo haces?
¿Respirar y quitarme el aliento?
Dicen: "El agua santa está diluida

Meaning & Explanation
The song "Ordinary" by Alex Warren explores a relationship characterized by an intense desire to escape the mundane and embrace something extraordinary. The lyrics suggest a profound feeling of being drawn into another person’s world, a transformation where the ordinary is shattered and replaced with something deeply passionate and almost destructive. There's a strong element of religious imagery – ‘holy water,’ ‘faith,’ ‘angels’ – used to heighten the sense of spiritual significance and dramatic intensity within the relationship. The repeated phrase "out of the ordinary" emphasizes this desire for something completely unique and transformative. The metaphors (knife, vine, dust) add layers of meaning, suggesting vulnerability, intoxication, and a willingness to be consumed by love. The overall tone is one of surrender and exhilaration, accepting a potentially dangerous but overwhelmingly compelling force. It's a song about finding an intense connection that transcends the everyday.
