Burning Heart
Inferno's Embrace: Unraveling the Mysteries of Burning Heart
Lyrics
City streets, burning down
City streets are being destroyed by fire.
An inferno in my town
There's a massive fire, an inferno, happening in the singer's town.
I don't know where it came from
The singer doesn't know the source of the fire.
I was asleep, safe at home
When the fire started, the singer was safely asleep at home.
Now here it is, my wildest dream
The situation seems like a realization of the singer's intense dream.
And I'm wondering if it was me
The singer questions if they're somehow responsible for the fire.
I want to stop and stare
There's a desire to pause and observe the chaos caused by the fire.
But maybe it's best I disappear
The singer considers it might be better to vanish or escape from the scene.
With the flame in my heart, did I burn it down?
Questioning if their emotions (heart) caused the fire.
With the flame in my mind, did I burn it down?
Wondering if their thoughts (mind) caused the fire.
With the flame in my soul, did I burn it down?
Contemplating if their innermost being (soul) caused the fire.
With the flame in my heart, did I burn it down?
Reiterating the concern if their emotions (heart) caused the fire.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Repetition emphasizing the transformation of everything into ashes and dust, a cycle of destruction.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
-Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
-Visions of fire dance in my head
The singer imagines vivid visions of fire in their mind.
And there's a lighter beside my bed
A lighter beside the bed hints at potential involvement in the fire.
My clothes stink of gasoline
The smell of gasoline on their clothes reinforces the reality of the situation.
I don't think it was a dream
The singer doubts that what happened was merely a dream.
The night fills with piercing cries
The night is filled with sounds of distress or pain.
I'm thinking up alibis
The singer is crafting excuses or explanations for the situation.
What happens if I close my eyes
Contemplating whether shutting their eyes will lead to more destruction.
Will another flame start to rise?
The fear of causing another fire if they close their eyes.
With the flame in my heart, will I burn it down?
Similar to previous lines, questioning if their emotions, thoughts, or inner self could ignite a fire.
With the flame in my mind, will I burn it down?
-With the flame in my soul, will I burn it down?
-With the flame in my heart, will I burn it down?
-Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Repetition emphasizing the cyclical nature of destruction, echoing the transformation into ashes and dust.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
-Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
-With the flame in my heart, I'll burn it down
-With the flame in my mind, I'll burn it down
-With the flame in my soul, I'll burn it down
-With the flame in my heart, I'll burn it down
-Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
-Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
-Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
-Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
-Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
-Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Final emphasis on the inevitable transformation into ashes and dust.
