Cold Ashes
Forged in Cold Ashes: Love's Embers, Freedom's Fire
Lyrics
There was a time when love was blooming
Reflecting on a past time when love was flourishing.
And the sun was steady shining down on me
Describing a period of happiness with the sun symbolizing positivity.
All I see is storm clouds moving
Current state is filled with challenges, symbolized by storm clouds.
Trying to remember to forget your memory
Struggling to forget the memories of a lost love.
Where did you go?
Expressing confusion about the partner's disappearance.
Why did you leave me?
Pondering the reason behind the partner leaving.
How long will I wait for your return
Questioning the duration of the wait for the partner's return.
A heart on fire is so deceiving
Warning about the deceptive nature of a passionate heart.
I should've learned cold ashes just don't burn
Realization that once love has cooled, it cannot be revived.
No more begging for tomorrow
Declaring an end to pleading for a future together.
I'll give myself the freedom to be free
Choosing personal freedom over continued emotional entanglement.
No more shame, guilt or sorrow
Rejecting shame, guilt, and sorrow associated with the past.
It's time I learn you're just a used to be
Acknowledging the need to accept the ex-partner as a part of the past.
Where did you go?
Reiterating the confusion and loss caused by the partner's departure.
Why did you leave me?
Continuing to question the reasons for the partner leaving.
How long will I wait for your return
Repeating the uncertainty about the duration of waiting.
A heart on fire is so deceiving
Re-emphasizing the deceptive nature of intense emotions.
I should've learned cold ashes just don't burn
Reiterating the irreversible nature of cooled-off love.
Where did you go?
Expressing the persistent confusion and yearning for the lost partner.
Why did you leave me?
Continuing to question and express the emotional toll of the departure.
How long will I wait for your return
Repeating the uncertainty about the wait for the partner's return.
A heart on fire is so deceiving
Reiterating the warning about the deceptive nature of intense emotions.
I should've learned cold ashes just don't burn
Re-emphasizing the irrevocable nature of cooled-off love.
Where did you go?
Continuing to express confusion and a sense of loss.
Why did you leave me?
Repeating the question about the reasons for the partner leaving.
How long will I wait for your return
Reiterating the uncertainty about the duration of waiting.
A heart on fire is so deceiving
Re-emphasizing the warning about the deceptive nature of intense emotions.
I should've learned cold ashes just don't burn
Reiterating the acceptance that cooled ashes of love cannot reignite.
Let the rain wash away
Expressing a desire for emotional cleansing through the metaphor of rain.
The embers of my pain
Symbolically washing away the lingering pain and emotions.
Until nothing here remains
Desiring a complete emotional cleansing, leaving nothing behind.
And then I'll give my heart away
Anticipating the eventual giving away of the heart after healing.
Where did you go?
Repeating the confusion and yearning for the departed partner.
Why did you leave me?
Continuing to question the reasons behind the partner's departure.
How long will I wait for your return
Reiterating the uncertainty about the duration of waiting.
A heart on fire is so deceiving
Re-emphasizing the deceptive nature of intense emotions.
I should've learned cold ashes just don't burn
Reiterating the acceptance that cooled ashes of love cannot reignite.
I should've learned cold ashes just don't burn
Final repetition of the realization that cooled ashes do not burn.
