Lyrics
Is that how you say “I love you”
Questioning the sincerity of expressing love and its form of expression.
With literal flesh and blood
Asking if love is demonstrated through physical, tangible actions.
Do you give them all of your body And bury them in the flood
Wondering if one gives their entire self to love and faces the consequences.
When the breath that you give to another Threatens to blow your flame out There’s little room for discussion And little room for doubt
Describing the challenge when giving love threatens one's own well-being, emphasizing the lack of room for discussion or doubt.
We all want to live forever
Expressing a universal desire for immortality.
We all want to write our names in the stars We all want to play the hero
Desiring recognition and significance, aspiring to be a hero.
In our own little wars
Referring to personal struggles and conflicts as "little wars."
So maybe behind the darkness
Suggesting that kindness may exist behind difficult situations or darkness.
There’s a kindness that we forgot I’m not saying it’s all on your shoulders Or saying that it’s not
Acknowledging the complexity of responsibility without assigning blame.
So now when you say “I love you” Does it really mean the same
Questioning if the declaration of love carries the same meaning over time.
All of these unborn children
Reflecting on the impact of one's choices on future generations.
Will bury my father’s name
Anticipating the consequences of actions on familial legacy.
We all want to live forever
Reiterating the desire for eternal life.
We all want to write our names in the stars We all want to play the hero
Expressing the common aspiration for fame and heroism.
In our own little wars
Repeating the theme of personal struggles being likened to wars.
We all want to live forever
Reaffirming the universal longing for immortality.
We all want to write our names in the stars We all want to play the hero
Reiterating the desire for recognition and significance.
In our own little wars
Emphasizing personal struggles and conflicts as individual battles.
Our own little wars
Highlighting the personal nature of the internal conflicts faced.
Our own little wars
Repeating the notion of personal battles or conflicts.
