Ashes
Eternal Embrace: Unveiling the Poetic Depths of 'Ashes' by Corbeau Hangs
Lyrics
Now
Expressing the present moment
You'd rather die
Choosing death over fear
Than be afraid
Preferably facing death than succumbing to fear
Every hour
Emphasizing the ongoing nature of time
Know, I'm here to stay
Assurance of steadfast presence
From night to day
Spanning the transition from night to day
We're meant to fade away
Suggesting a destined fading away
Flood
Imagery of drowning, possibly in emotions or challenges
Your spirit drowned
Intense emotional struggle leading to metaphorical burning
Burn this heart to the ground
A plea to reduce everything to ashes
Until ashes fly
Transformation through destruction
Turn the tides
Changing the course of events
Justify the times
Providing justification for difficult times
Your spirit drowned
Reiteration of drowning, emphasizing the struggle
Burn this heart to the ground
Repeating the metaphor of burning, intensifying the emotion
Until ashes fly
Reaffirming the desire for transformation into ashes
Turn the tides
Continuing the theme of altering circumstances
Justify the times
Reasserting the need to justify difficult times
Now
Recurrence of the choice between death and fear
You'd rather die
Reiteration of the preference for death over fear
Than be afraid
Reaffirmation of facing death rather than succumbing to fear
Every hour
Reemphasis on the continuous passage of time
Know, I'm here to stay
Restating the commitment to remain present
From night to day
Repeating the span from night to day, signifying a complete cycle
We're meant to fade away
Reiteration of an inevitable fading away
Flood
Continuation of the drowning metaphor, possibly in despair
Your spirit drowned
Intensification of emotional struggle leading to metaphorical burning
Burn this heart to the ground
Repetition of the plea to reduce everything to ashes
Until ashes fly
Reaffirmation of the transformative power of destruction
Turn the tides
Continued emphasis on changing the course of events
Justify the times
Reasserting the need to justify difficult times
Your spirit drowned
Reiteration of the struggle and drowning metaphor
Burn this heart to the ground
Repeating the intensity of emotional burning
Until ashes fly
Reaffirming the desire for transformation into ashes
Turn the tides
Continuing the theme of altering circumstances
Justify the times
Reasserting the need to justify difficult times
