The Flame
Igniting Souls: Duncan Covey's Fiery Tale of Resilience and Love
Lyrics
The days before were kindling
The preceding days were like kindling, setting the stage.
Building up to hold a flame
Accumulating to create a foundation for a flame.
Sparks land on hay bales fill in the details
Sparks fall on haystacks, adding intricate elements.
And we were dancing in the blaze
Dancing in the midst of the blaze.
I watched the days the passed us by
Observing time passing without direct awareness.
It was out of sight not out of mind
It was not visible but not forgotten.
I didn't want to fall between the cracks of my facade
Avoiding getting lost in the gaps of one's false exterior.
But I I didn't think I'd get this far
Unexpectedly reaching a point never anticipated.
And oh she lit a fire
Refers to someone igniting a passionate feeling.
Lit a guiding light
Creating a guiding light through this ignition.
And oh she lit a fire
Reiteration of someone sparking a flame.
Warmth in the longest of the nights
Providing warmth during extended periods of darkness.
And oh she lit a fire give it all keep it alight
Encouraging to give everything to sustain the fire.
I feel it burn
Expressing the sensation of feeling the burn.
Burning underneath
The burning sensation beneath the surface.
All my fingertips
Sensory experience felt through fingertips.
And I feel it burn
Continuing to feel the intense heat.
And I feel the heat
Noticing the heat behind an eclipse or concealment.
Behind the eclipse
Expressing a reluctance to depart.
And I don't wanna go
Averse to landing or settling.
I don't wanna land
After learning to fly, not wanting to return.
Now that I have learned to fly
Not wanting to discover certain things.
I don't wanna know
Avoiding potential downfall if unaware.
Cuz it'd take me down if I can't
The importance of maintaining the flame to avoid negative consequences.
Keep the flame alive
Reiteration of someone igniting a passionate feeling.
Oh she lit a fire
Refers to someone igniting a passionate feeling.
Lit a guiding light
Creating a guiding light through this ignition.
And oh she lit a fire
Reiteration of someone sparking a flame.
Warmth in the longest of the nights
Providing warmth during extended periods of darkness.
And oh she lit a fire give it all keep it alight
Encouraging to give everything to sustain the fire.
