Lyrics
So it's over,
The relationship has come to an end.
This time I know it's gone
The speaker acknowledges the finality of the breakup.
Salt water tasted it too long
The speaker has experienced emotional pain, likened to the taste of saltwater, for an extended period.
I only know I'm wrong
The speaker recognizes their own mistakes or shortcomings.
Now I know it's gone
Reiteration of the acknowledgment that the relationship has ended.
Up in flames, up in flames
The relationship is described metaphorically as being "up in flames," suggesting a dramatic and destructive end.
Up in flames we have slowly gone
The intensity of the breakup is emphasized with the repetition of the phrase "up in flames we have slowly gone."
So it's over,
Confirmation of the relationship's end, possibly from the perspective of the other person involved.
This time you're flying on
The other person is moving forward or moving on after the breakup.
This time I know no song
No comforting or consoling music can alleviate the pain of the slow burning emotions.
Can stop it slowly burn
The emotional pain is described as a slow burn that cannot be stopped.
Can stop it slowly gone
The gradual fading away of emotions or connection is emphasized.
Up in flames, up in flames
Repetition of the metaphorical description of the relationship ending in flames.
Up in flames we have slowly gone
Emphasis on the slow and gradual nature of the relationship's demise.
Up in flames, up in flames
Repetition of the intense imagery of the relationship being consumed by flames.
Up in flames we have slowly gone
Emphasis on the slow and gradual nature of the relationship's demise.
Oh, we have slowly gone
The acknowledgment that the relationship has slowly ended, possibly expressing regret or sorrow.
Can we pour some water on?
A plea or desire to somehow alleviate the pain or bring relief to the situation.
