Flames
Love's Final Embers: Dylan Bernard's Flames Unraveled
Lyrics
it's the beginning of the end
Expressing the recognition that a relationship is approaching its end.
Been a while since you've been happy
Noticing the partner's lack of happiness over an extended period.
Looking all but at me
Observing the partner's focus on something or someone other than the speaker.
Glory days they came and went
Reflecting on past moments of glory that have faded away.
Work and weather's all we're saying
Reducing communication to mundane topics like work and weather.
Kisses leave me hanging
Feeling neglected and unfulfilled in the relationship.
What we had
Acknowledging the past connection between the speaker and the partner.
Girl it wasn't meant to last
Recognizing that the relationship was not destined to endure.
And i don't want to hold my breath
Expressing reluctance to maintain hope for the relationship.
So can we say goodnight
Suggesting a desire to part ways amicably by saying goodnight.
Before we go down in flames
Using the metaphor of going down in flames to describe the relationship's impending end.
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Repeating the phrase for emphasis or emotional impact.
You can leave me in the dust
Encouraging the partner to leave the relationship before it deteriorates further.
Before we go down in flames
Reiterating the plea to avoid a destructive end to the relationship.
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Emphasizing the urgency to act before there is nothing salvageable.
No there'd nothing left us
Highlighting the absence of a future for the relationship.
Us pretty soon we'll run
Anticipating the imminent breakdown of the love between the speaker and the partner.
Out of this love
Conveying the idea that the love they shared is depleting rapidly.
Let's go our separate ways
Suggesting a mutual decision to part ways before the relationship becomes destructive.
Before we go down in flames
Repeating the plea to end the relationship before it ends disastrously.
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Reemphasizing the urgency and potential consequences of delaying the breakup.
Down in flames
Repeating the metaphor of going down in flames to reinforce the seriousness of the situation.
Just because we're nothing but ashes
Comparing the remnants of the relationship to ashes, indicating its disintegration.
Doesn't mean that we weren't magic
Asserting that despite the ending, the relationship was once magical.
Yeah
Acknowledging the past enchantment and special nature of the relationship.
So for the last time put you heart in mine
Suggesting a final emotional connection before parting ways.
As we go down in Flames
Using the metaphor of going down in flames to symbolize the final moments of the relationship.
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Repeating the phrase for emotional emphasis and resonance.
You can leave me in the dust
Encouraging the partner to move on without lingering in the remnants of the relationship.
Before we go down in flames
Reiterating the plea to avoid a destructive and painful ending.
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Emphasizing the absence of anything salvageable in the relationship.
No there's nothing left us
Repeating the idea that the relationship is running out of love and substance.
Us pretty soon we'll run
Anticipating the imminent depletion of love between the speaker and the partner.
Out of this love
Expressing the inevitability of the love running out and the need to part ways.
Let's go our separate ways
Reiterating the suggestion to go separate ways before the relationship turns destructive.
Before we go down in flames
Repeating the urgency of ending the relationship before it descends into chaos.
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Reemphasizing the metaphorical descent into destruction and chaos.
Down in flames
Concluding with the metaphor of going down in flames to signify the finality of the relationship's end.
