Old Flame
Eternal Dance with Familiar Fire
Lyrics
You knew in five minutes,
You recognized the situation in a short time,
But I knew in a sentence
While it took me just one sentence to understand,
You knew in five minutes,
You were aware within five minutes,
But I knew in a sentence
But my realization came in a brief sentence,
So why do we go through all of this again?
Questioning the repetition of this experience,
Your eyes are flutterin'
Describing your eyes as restless,
Such pretty wings.
Comparing your eyes to pretty wings,
A moth, flyin' into the
Imagining you as a moth,
Same old flame again
Flying towards the familiar but destructive attraction,
It never ends
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of the situation,
It's not like I dropped the bomb,
Asserting that you are not solely responsible for the relationship's breakdown,
on my conscience mom
Addressing a hypothetical moral figure, stating you didn't intentionally cause harm,
It takes fightin' day and night
Highlighting the effort required to sustain a good relationship,
to make such a good thing die
Expressing the difficulty in letting a positive connection deteriorate,
Out, everyone out
Calling for everyone to leave,
I give too much shit at home
Acknowledging providing too much trouble in the domestic environment,
In my heart and mind
Referring to the emotional burden in the heart and mind,
It gets me every time
Stating that it affects you consistently,
So why do we go
Repeating the question about going through difficulties again,
Through all this shit again
Describing once more the restlessness in your eyes,
Your eyes are Flutterin'
Again likening your eyes to beautiful wings,
Such pretty wings.
Repeating the imagery of a moth flying towards you,
A moth flyin' into me
Emphasizing the return to the same destructive attraction,
The same old flame again
Reiterating the perpetual nature of the cycle,
It never ends
Reaffirming that it never concludes.
