Love Burns
Embers of Lost Love: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's Passionate Melancholy
Lyrics
Never thought I'd see her go away
Expresses surprise or disbelief at the departure of a significant person.
She learned I loved her today
Realization that the speaker loves the person who has left.
Never thought I'd see her cry
Surprise at witnessing the person cry, indicating emotional impact.
And I learned how to love her today
Learning how to love the departed person on the same day.
Never thought I'd rather die
Extreme emotional pain, suggesting a preference for death over separation.
Then try to keep her by my side
Expresses difficulty in keeping the person by the speaker's side.
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Repetition emphasizes the enduring pain of love after the person's departure.
Now she's gone love burns inside me
-Now she's gone love burns inside me
-Nothing else can hurt us now
Claiming that nothing else can cause harm now that the love has faced challenges.
No loss, our love's been hung on a cross
Reference to enduring hardships symbolized by the love being hung on a cross.
Nothing seems to make a sound
Quietude in the aftermath of the relationship, a sense of clarity.
And now it's all so clear somehow
Understanding or insight gained about the situation.
Nothing really matters now
Emphasizing the insignificance of everything now that the relationship has ended.
Now we're gone and on our way
Confirmation of departure and moving forward.
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Repetition reinforces the lingering pain after the person has left.
Now she's gone love burns inside me
-Now she's gone love burns inside me
-She cuts my skin and bruise my lips
Describing the intense, contradictory nature of the relationship and the impact on the speaker.
She's everything to me
-She tears my clothes and burns my eyes
-She's all I want to see
-She brings the cold and scars my soul
-She's heaven sent to me
-Now she's gone love burns inside me
Continuation of the theme of burning love after the person's departure.
Now she's gone love burns inside me
-Now she's gone love burns inside me
-Never thought I'd leave you like the way I do, yeah
Unexpected decision to leave, expressing regret or surprise.
Kiss my love and I wish you're gone
