Burn
Embers of Deja Vu: Unraveling the Heart's Ashes
Lyrics
Keep going in for the kill
Expressing a desire to continue aggressively pursuing a goal.
And bend all the weak to your will
Advocating the manipulation or control of those perceived as vulnerable.
It's obvious the magic is gone
Acknowledging the loss or disappearance of something special or enchanting.
No more reasons to hold on
Conveying the absence of compelling reasons to persist or endure.
Wanna burn the hedge of this maze
Expressing a willingness to destroy obstacles, even if it means personal harm.
Even if you get trapped in the blaze
Indicating a readiness to face the consequences, even if it results in being trapped.
But there's nothing left here to scorch
Stating that there is nothing remaining to destroy or ruin.
'Cause everything has ran its course
Highlighting the completion or exhaustion of everything in its natural course.
You always said you didn't need me
Recalling a past assertion of independence and not needing support.
So I left you alone
Describing a decision to leave someone alone based on their stated independence.
Until you had the nerve to leave me
Expressing surprise when the independent person decides to leave.
If things were different then they would be
Contemplating alternative scenarios and outcomes.
Now I understand why this feels like deja vu
Realizing the reason behind the sense of familiarity or repetition.
So hard to tell you anything
Expressing difficulty in sharing information due to fear of judgment.
For fear of the things you might think
Fearful of the potential negative thoughts that may arise.
When I'm waiting for the blow
Anticipating a negative event and its aftermath.
I find out more that I don't know
Discovering more unknowns while waiting for the anticipated negative event.
I couldn't see you were there
Being unaware of someone's presence at a certain time.
I couldn't believe you cared
Expressing disbelief in someone's care or concern.
But now that I'm here all alone
Feeling overwhelmed and exaggeratedly affected when alone.
Everything gets overblown
Experiencing a magnification of emotions or situations when alone.
You always said you didn't need me
Reiterating a past claim of independence and not needing support.
So I left you alone
Leaving someone alone based on their asserted independence.
And expected you to read me
Expecting the independent person to intuitively understand one's needs.
If things were different then they would be
Reflecting on possible differences in outcomes if circumstances were different.
Now I understand why this feels like deja vu
Realizing the reason behind the sense of familiarity or repetition.
You always said you didn't need me
Reiterating a past claim of independence and not needing support.
So I left you alone
Leaving someone alone based on their asserted independence.
Until you had the nerve to leave me
Expressing surprise when the independent person decides to leave.
If things were different then they would be
Contemplating alternative scenarios and outcomes.
Now I understand why this feels like deja vu
Realizing the reason behind the sense of familiarity or repetition.
You always said you didn't need me
Reiterating a past claim of independence and not needing support.
So I left you alone
Leaving someone alone based on their asserted independence.
'Cause I thought that you could read me
Assuming that the other person can understand one's feelings without communication.
If things were different then they would be
Contemplating alternative scenarios and outcomes.
Now I understand why this feels like deja vu
Realizing the reason behind the sense of familiarity or repetition.
You always said you didn't need me
Reiterating a past claim of independence and not needing support.
So I left you alone
Leaving someone alone based on their asserted independence.
Till you had the nerve to leave me
Expressing surprise when the independent person decides to leave.
If things were different then they would be
Contemplating alternative scenarios and outcomes.
Now I understand
Reiterating the understanding of the familiar or repetitive nature of the situation.
Why this feels like deja vu
Concluding with the acknowledgment of the feeling of deja vu.
