Ash
From Love to Ash: Unveiling the Depths of Emotional Turmoil in Colin Crest's 'Ash'
Lyrics
Do you remember how it went
Reflection on a past experience, asking if the listener remembers.
Cuz I remember everything
Expressing a strong memory of the past event or relationship.
It's been stuck in my head
Indicating that the memories are persistent and troubling.
And I'd rather be dead than think of you
Expressing a strong negative emotion, preferring death over thoughts of the person being referred to.
And I wish I was lying
Expressing a desire for the situation or memory to be untrue.
Yeah I wish it wasn't true
Reiterating the wish for the situation to be different.
But the traumas still there
Acknowledging the enduring impact of past traumas.
And I've done all that I can
Claiming to have exhausted efforts to avoid hating the person associated with the trauma.
To not hate you
Expressing a struggle not to harbor hatred.
A thousand bad words can't describe you
Stating that numerous negative words are insufficient to describe the person.
Honestly, I don't think there's enough to
Emphasizing the depth of negativity experienced.
Show how evil you were to me
Alleging that the person was cruel and harmful.
And everyone around you you're a monster
Labeling the person as a monster and implying harm to others.
Don't see if we could maybe open up a brand new chapter
Suggesting the possibility of starting anew but acknowledging the destruction of the current situation.
Just turned our book to ash
Metaphorically describing the relationship as destroyed or ruined.
Another argument at home
Describing another conflict at home.
You said you're headed for the road
Indicating the person's decision to leave.
And I begged and begged you not to leave
Recalling a plea to prevent the person from leaving.
You said you need to be alone
Quoting the person's need for solitude, disregarding the speaker's feelings.
Without you where was I to go
Expressing a sense of abandonment and lack of consideration.
You didn't even think of me
Highlighting the person's apparent lack of concern for the speaker.
So I sat there and I cried
Describing a moment of emotional distress.
Tears running down my eyes I said
Portraying visible tears and emotional pain.
Do it for me cause that is love
Pleading for the person to stay out of love.
And love should be enough
Expressing the belief that love should be sufficient.
But you didn't have the time
Indicating the person's lack of time or commitment.
And it changed my life
Claiming a life-changing impact due to the person's departure.
When you drove off
Describing the moment of departure as significant.
A thousand bad words can't describe you
Repeating the idea that negative words are insufficient to describe the person.
Honestly, I don't think there's enough to
Reiterating the depth of negativity experienced.
Show how evil you were to me
Reemphasizing the person's perceived evil nature.
And everyone around you you're a monster
Reiterating the label of the person as a monster, implying harm to others.
Don't see if we could maybe open up a brand new chapter
Suggesting the possibility of starting anew but acknowledging the destruction of the current situation.
Just turned our book to ash
Metaphorically describing the relationship as destroyed or ruined.
