Blaze of Glory
A Fiery Farewell: Exploring Love's End in Kenny Rogers' Blaze of Glory
Lyrics
Let´s go out in a blaze of glory
Expressing a desire to end something dramatically and memorably.
All good things must end
Acknowledging the inevitability of concluding positive experiences.
Like two heros in a story
Comparing the situation to the conclusion of a heroic tale.
Let's go out like we came in
Suggesting an intention to exit the situation as boldly as entering it.
In a blaze of glory
Reiterating the desire to end things in a spectacular and memorable way.
Here we are broken-hearted
Reflecting on a relationship that has ended in heartbreak.
We thought our love would never end
Expressing surprise or disappointment that a seemingly enduring love has ended.
We fell hard when we got started
Recalling the intensity of falling in love at the beginning of the relationship.
Fallin´ out like we fell in
Describing the process of falling out of love, mirroring the initial intensity.
Let´s go out in a blaze of glory
Repeating the desire to end things dramatically and memorably.
All good things must end
Reiterating the acknowledgment that good things come to an end.
Like two heros in a story
Continuing the comparison to heroic figures facing a conclusion.
Let's go out like we came in
Echoing the intention to exit the situation boldly, as in the beginning.
In a blaze of glory
Emphasizing the desire to end things in a spectacular and memorable way.
Let´s gonna hurt each other
Suggesting a willingness to cause emotional pain in the process of ending.
That would be a worse mistake
Warning against a potentially regrettable action of hurting each other.
Once again let?s act like lovers
Proposing a return to behaving like lovers, possibly as a last attempt.
One more time for old-time´s sake
Suggesting a final romantic encounter for the sake of old times.
Let´s go out in a blaze of glory
Repeating the desire to end things dramatically and memorably.
All good things must end
Restating the acknowledgment that good things come to an end.
Like two heros in a story
Reiterating the comparison to heroic figures facing a conclusion.
Let's go out like we came in
Echoing the intention to exit the situation boldly, as in the beginning.
In a blaze of glory
Emphasizing the desire to end things in a spectacular and memorable way.
Let´s go out (let?s go out)
Repeating the call to end things in a blaze of glory.
In a blaze of glory (in a blaze of glory)
Reiterating the acknowledgment that good things come to an end.
All good things must end
Affirming the comparison to heroic figures facing a conclusion.
Like two heros (ah?) in a story (in a story?.)
Adding an element of uncertainty or questioning to the heroic comparison.
Let's go out (let?s go out) like we came in
Repeating the intention to exit the situation boldly, mirroring the start.
(like we came in)
Reiterating the desire to exit as boldly as entering the situation.
In a blaze of glory?
Concluding with a final call to end things dramatically and memorably.
