Some Fires Won't Die
Eternal Flames of Regret: Dusty Miles' Melodic Reflection on Unforgotten Love
Lyrics
Long lost lover
Expressing nostalgia for a past romantic partner
My dear old flame
Referring to the lost love as a cherished and significant past relationship
If only things had turned out different
Reflecting on how different choices might have led to a different outcome
Cause I still feel the same
Despite circumstances, the emotional connection remains strong
I move from town to town
Describing a nomadic lifestyle, moving without settling down
On every season change
Emphasizing the transient nature of life with changing seasons
But everywhere I go
Expressing the inability to escape the emotional attachment, regardless of location
It still feels the same
Despite moving, the emotional resonance remains unchanged
I spend so many nights listening to the wind blow
Regret over past decisions, contemplating the loss
Thinking how I let you get away
Thoughts on how the lover was allowed to slip away
And would you ever know
Wondering if the former partner is aware of the lingering feelings
That I still hold a flame
Continued emotional attachment and love for the lost partner
Yeah you know that some fires just won't die
Acknowledging the persistence of certain emotions, likening them to enduring fires
Never could forget lord knows I've tried
Despite attempts, the memories and feelings remain strong
Even if I could my hands are tied
Expressing a sense of helplessness in letting go due to external constraints
'Cause everybody know some fires won't die
Highlighting the universal recognition that some emotions are indelible
Old companion
Referring to the lost love as a past companion
The one I let get away
Regret for allowing the person to slip out of life
Its been so many years now
Expressing the passage of a significant amount of time since seeing the person
Since I have seen you face
Describing a settled life for the lost partner with someone else
I heard you settled down
Learning about the former partner's settled life in a different location
Over those rolling plains
Reference to a tranquil landscape
And wed an older man
Indicating that the lost partner is now married to an older man
Who keeps you warm and safe
Describing the new spouse as a source of warmth and security
I spent so many nights looking out the window
Nights spent in contemplation and longing
Thinking on how I got this way
Reflecting on the path that led to the current emotional state
And would you ever know
Questioning if the lost partner is aware of the enduring feelings
That I still hold a flame
Confirmation of the continued emotional attachment and love
Yeah you know that some fires just won't die
Reiterating the persistence of certain emotions, using the metaphor of enduring fires
Never could forget lord knows I've tried
Despite efforts, memories and emotions remain vivid
Even if I could my hands are tied
Expressing constraints in overcoming the lingering feelings
'Cause everybody know some fires won't die
Stating the widespread understanding that certain emotions are unextinguishable
