Lyrics

I torch the last piece of my broken past

I destroy the final remnants of my troubled past

Crushed, burned and buried

Crushed, burned, and buried, possibly referring to the hardships faced

But with hope at last!

Despite difficulties, there is newfound hope

You left me nothing, not even my fear

You took everything away, even my fear

My mind is free and my eyes see clear

Emphasizing mental freedom and clear perception

Like a phoenix I will rise from

Using the phoenix metaphor for a triumphant rebirth

The core of the ashes!

Rising from the ashes, overcoming challenges

I see my shattered dreams

Observing shattered dreams, possibly reflecting on past failures

In a crystal casket

Seeing broken dreams preserved in a crystal casket

Step by step, brick by brick

Gradually rebuilding life, step by step

I will build a wall

Building emotional walls and moving forward without looking back

And I will never look back ‘til I fall

Determined not to revisit the past until facing failure


And I swear, that I’ll carry on

Promising to persevere despite challenges

And I swear, that I can prove you wrong

Asserting the ability to prove doubters wrong

And I swear, our love’s long gone

Acknowledging the end of a love relationship

And you won’t bring me down again i swear!

Declaring resilience against being brought down again


My life has gone astray

Life has gone off course

You left me standing in the pouring rain

Left alone in difficult circumstances, using rain as a metaphor

But upon this rock I will build my church

Building strength and resolve on a solid foundation

Upon this rock I will watch you burn!

Expressing a desire for justice or revenge

We’ve been running in circles

Revealing a pattern of repetitive and unproductive behavior

Now we’re out of touch

Being out of touch after a history of running in circles

Even I would care, you wouldn't give a fuck

Highlighting a lack of concern from the other party

Since the start you wanna see me fall

From the beginning, someone wished for the person to fail

You’ve shattered everything

Acknowledging the destruction caused by the other person

But I’m unbreakable!

Asserting personal strength and resilience


And I swear, that I’ll carry on

Reiteration of the determination to persevere

And I swear, that I can prove you wrong

Reaffirming the ability to prove doubters wrong

And I swear, our love’s long gone

Confirming the end of a romantic relationship

And you won’t bring me down again i swear!

Defiance against being emotionally defeated again


I am sick of this senseless fighting!

Expressing frustration with pointless conflicts

I am sick of these power trips!

Tired of power struggles and abuses of authority

I am sick of this fucking silence!

Frustration with a lack of communication and understanding

I am sick of this, I am sick of you!

General discontent and frustration with a person


Won’t you hear me, I’m done with you

Asking for acknowledgment and announcing the end of the relationship

I’ve torn apart the hell you put me through

Expressing overcoming the hardships caused by the person


And I swear, that I’ll carry on

Reiteration of the commitment to persevere

And I swear, that I can prove you wrong

Reiterating the intention to prove doubters wrong

And I swear, our love’s long gone

Confirming the end of a love relationship

And you won’t bring me down again i swear!

Reaffirming resilience against emotional defeat
