The Flame
Chasing the Flame: Unveiling the Truth in Love's Imperfection
Lyrics
Were the red flags even really that red
Questioning the severity of warning signs or red flags in a relationship
I was calling danger was it all in my head
Reflecting on whether the perceived danger was real or imagined
I Said I wanted love but only if it's perfect
Expressing a desire for love but with a condition of perfection
But nobody's enough if you never put the work in
Recognizing that no one is sufficient without putting effort into the relationship
Maybe I've been chasing flowers
Suggesting a pattern of pursuing fleeting pleasures or short-lived joys
Running from all the rain
Escaping challenges or difficulties represented by "rain"
Maybe I'm a god damn coward
Admitting to being afraid or hesitant, possibly in relationships
Only got myself to blame
Taking responsibility for the consequences of one's actions
Got a little too good at making up excuses
Admitting to a skill in creating justifications or excuses
Lying to myself but the truth is
Confronting self-deception and acknowledging the truth
Maybe I been chasing fire
Suggesting a tendency to pursue excitement or risk without considering consequences
When I should be chasing the flame
Realizing the need to pursue something deeper and more enduring
Every bit of magic starts with a spark
Highlighting the idea that magical connections begin with a small spark
I should be more gentle with somebody's heart
Advocating for gentleness and care in handling someone's emotions
Ain't we all just human
Emphasizing shared humanity and the common struggle of not knowing what to do
Don't know what we're doin
Acknowledging the uncertainty and confusion in human actions
Hoping our true colors
Expressing hope that genuine selves will be revealed in challenging times
Will find each other in the dark
Believing that true colors will be evident even in difficult or dark situations
Maybe I've been chasing flowers
Repeating the theme of pursuing fleeting joys and avoiding challenges
Running from all the rain
Continuing the metaphor of running away from difficulties
Maybe I'm a god damn coward
Reiterating a sense of fear or avoidance, taking personal responsibility
Only got myself to blame
Taking accountability for the consequences of avoiding challenges
Got a little too good at making up excuses
Acknowledging proficiency in creating justifications or excuses
Lying to myself but the truth is
Confronting self-deception and recognizing the underlying truth
Maybe I been chasing fire
Repeating the theme of pursuing excitement without deeper commitment
When I should be chasing the flame
Realizing the need to pursue a more profound and lasting connection
I said I wanted love but only if it's perfect
Repeating the desire for perfect love and the challenge of finding it
Who's gonna be enough when I never put the work in
Questioning who can be enough when effort is lacking
Maybe I've been chasing flowers
Repeating the theme of pursuing fleeting joys and avoiding challenges
Running from all the rain
Continuing the metaphor of running away from difficulties
Maybe I'm a god damn coward
Reiterating a sense of fear or avoidance, taking personal responsibility
Only got myself to blame
Taking accountability for the consequences of avoiding challenges
Got a little too good at making up excuses
Acknowledging proficiency in creating justifications or excuses
Lying to myself but the truth is
Confronting self-deception and recognizing the underlying truth
Maybe I been chasing fire
Repeating the theme of pursuing excitement without deeper commitment
When I should be
Leaving an open-ended statement, possibly implying an incomplete thought
I should be
Repeating the idea that the focus should be on pursuing a lasting connection
I should be
-Chasing the flame
Emphasizing the need to pursue a profound and enduring connection
The Flame
Concluding with the title, "The Flame," reinforcing the theme of seeking lasting and meaningful connections
