Keep the Fire
Embers of Resilience: Navigating Loss, Keeping the Fire Alive
Lyrics
I remember years back always longing through those days spent all alone
Reflecting on the past, longing for companionship during isolated days.
You found a friend in me and then later we made four, then one by one I watched you leave
Formed a friendship, expanded to a group, but each member departed, leaving the singer.
But I got those heart felt memories
The singer holds emotional memories despite their gradual fading.
There still fading in through broken waves
Memories resurface despite being fragmented or disrupted.
I couldn't bring myself to move I just stayed alone
Stagnated emotionally, unable to move on from the past.
And if I could free this sound
Expressing a desire to communicate feelings if given the opportunity.
You'd hear me now
If given a chance, the singer wishes to convey their emotions.
Cause I've been building up the strength to just write let you know
Building up the courage to express feelings to the departed individual.
I still believe in this broken road
Despite hardships, still believing in the path taken.
That's when my heart went black as you walked away
Feeling emotionally darkened as the person leaves.
But I kept the fire inside
Despite pain, keeping a passionate spirit alive within.
And it still burns in spite of this
The fire of passion persists despite adverse circumstances.
I chased it to the ground and lost the meaning found the purpose now and I'm learning to make mends
Struggling, losing direction, but rediscovering purpose and learning from mistakes.
Finding my way back again
Seeking a path back to a better state of being.
Just let it filter in!
Encouraging acceptance and absorption of these emotions.
I'm sorry for the time you wasted helping me out
Expressing regret for the time someone invested in helping.
Just know I'm always proud of what we did with what we had
Proud of achievements despite limitations.
I chased it to the ground
Struggling and losing direction once again.
And you watched me face dive
Metaphorically falling while being observed by others.
The lights when out and with it left the meaning in the sound
Loss of significance when the lights go out, symbolizing a loss of meaning.
(And I still feel it in my soul)
A lingering feeling in the soul despite outward changes.
Cause when I held back the pain I felt
Suppressing pain while the person departs.
As you walked away
Preserving the passionate flame despite emotional pain.
I made sure to keep the fire
Maintaining the inner fire despite challenges.
And now it burns in spite of this
The fire of passion persists despite adverse circumstances.
(I never left I stayed alone)
Remaining isolated but refusing to give up.
And when i knew you'd given up on me
Realizing someone's abandonment and feeling emotional anguish.
It ripped me apart and I couldn't help but cry
The pain of feeling torn apart emotionally due to abandonment.
There's still remains this pain inside
Despite time passing, the pain persists and refuses to fade.
And I can't let it die
Unwillingness to let the pain and emotions subside.
