Gasoline
Redemption in Flames: Reflecting on Painful Words
Lyrics
I thought about you
I contemplated about you
I thought about the ones that I forget
I reflected on those I've neglected
Oh please forgive me
Seeking forgiveness
I hope that I've not pushed you to the edge
Hoping I haven't driven you to the brink
Let me wash away the painful words I wrote
Expressing a desire to erase hurtful words
We can smother out the flames within my soul
Suggesting the possibility of extinguishing internal turmoil
No more standing by the way that I believe
No longer adhering strictly to my beliefs
We can smother out the flames
Possibility of overcoming inner struggles
With gasoline
Mention of using drastic measures, symbolized by gasoline
You break around me
Reference to emotional breakdown around the speaker
You say that I should give my heart a rest
Suggestion to give the heart a break
Let me wash away the painful words I wrote
Reiteration of wanting to erase hurtful words
We can smother out the flames within my soul
Reaffirmation of extinguishing internal turmoil
No more standing by the way that I believe
Commitment to deviate from existing beliefs
We can smother out the flames
Persistence in overcoming inner struggles
With gasoline
Reiteration of using drastic measures, symbolized by gasoline
We'll watch these flames
Visualizing the destructive impact of flames
Like a tower of dissent, choking out regret
Comparing flames to a dissenting structure, hinting at remorse
Devouring light
Consuming light, potentially symbolizing a loss of innocence
An image of my soul, out of our control
Depiction of the uncontrollable nature of the speaker's soul
Let me wash away the painful words I wrote
Repetition of the desire to erase hurtful words
We can smother out the flames within my soul
Reiteration of extinguishing internal turmoil
No more standing by the way that I believe
Renewed commitment to deviating from existing beliefs
We can smother out the flames
Continued effort to overcome inner struggles
With gasoline
Final reference to using drastic measures, symbolized by gasoline
