Did you know?

The lyrics of “Ordinary” depict love as a transformative force that breaks the monotony of life (“You’re takin’ me out of the ordinary”) and becomes a sacred experience.

Religious imagery is woven throughout, comparing the relationship to holy water, angels, and a sanctuary, suggesting the love is so profound it feels heavenly (“The angels up in the clouds are jealous, knowin’ we found”).

The lines “Shatter me with your touch, oh Lord, return me to dust” evoke vulnerability and surrender, as if the speaker is willing to be remade by their partner (“You’re the sculptor, I’m the clay”).

The repeated references to being “dead and buried” and “on the edge of your knife” imply a love so intense it borders on destructive, yet is still cherished.

The song blends themes of devotion and ecstasy, framing love as both a salvation and an addiction (“stayin’ drunk on your vine”).

Ultimately, it celebrates finding something extraordinary in a world that often feels mundane or faithless.
