Ashes
Embers of Love: Justin King's Poetic Tale of Passion and Loss
Lyrics
I'm holding you so close
The singer holds someone very close.
As if you might slip away
They fear losing the person, feeling they might slip away.
Between the night and morning light
The transition from darkness to morning brings a decay in their peace.
Our peace decays
The tranquility between them is fading.
And not a word will we speak
Both choose not to speak, as silence conveys what words cannot.
For silence knows what to say
Silence holds meaningful understanding.
I'll press my hand into yours
The singer holds the other's hand firmly.
For I know I cannot stay
They acknowledge the inevitability of departure.
With a single thought
A singular thought occupies their minds.
And skin so close
Physical closeness intensifies their emotions.
This is a fire in the night
There's passion or intensity akin to fire in the night.
But empty hearts
Despite the closeness, their hearts feel empty.
And burning souls
Intense emotions, but souls are burning or troubled.
These are the ashes of the day
The aftermath or remnants of intense experiences are present.
The colors change
Changes occur, likened to shifting colors.
The leaves fall away
Elements of life fade away or change.
And naked are the arms of the trees
Nature is stripped bare, symbolizing vulnerability.
I think of you
Reflections on someone evoke feelings of simplicity and grace.
Your simple grace
The person is associated with gracefulness.
And spring rushes back to me
Thoughts of the person bring back feelings of rejuvenation or renewal.
With a single thought
Reiteration of a singular, consuming thought.
And skin so close
Closeness intensifies emotions, similar to earlier lines.
This is a fire in the night
Intensity compared to a fire in the night.
But empty hearts
Despite the intensity, there's a feeling of emotional emptiness.
And burning souls
Deeply troubled or tormented souls amidst intense emotions.
These are the ashes of the day
Reiteration of the aftermath or remnants of intense experiences.
These are the ashes of the day
Repeating the idea of the aftermath, emphasizing its significance.
