Coventry
Burning Hearts: A Poignant Tale of Love and War
Lyrics
I don't wanna be your friend any more
I don't want to maintain our friendship any longer
we are at war
We are in a state of conflict or disagreement
wish there was something could be done
Expressing a desire for a solution or resolution
what have we become
Reflecting on the undesirable transformation of their relationship
people burning while they're yearning for a kiss now
People are suffering while seeking affection
wanted heaven but the cathedral's been hit now
Desiring something pure or divine, but facing destruction
what is it you want to see happen to me now
Asking what outcome the other person envisions for their relationship
dya want to kill me do you want to kill me
Questioning if the other person wishes harm or destruction
It's like Coventry like Coventry in 1940
Drawing a parallel to the destruction of Coventry in 1940 during war
incendiaries rain fire on our city
Describing a destructive rain of incendiaries on their city
it's like Coventry like Coventry in the Blitz burning
Continuing the analogy of Coventry's destruction in the Blitz
we ignored our hearts and now we're learning
Regretting the consequences of neglecting their hearts
Do you wanna
Pose a question about willingness
do you wanna let
Asking if the other person will allow entry into their heart
let me into your heart now
Seeking emotional connection
No
Receiving a negative response
Burn the whole world down
Expressing a feeling of wanting to destroy everything
it feels like Coventry in my heart
Feeling a sense of destruction and chaos within
There was always something wrong at the core
Acknowledging an inherent problem in the relationship
we planted indoors
Planting metaphorical seeds of issues within
the more we try to hide and ignore it
Recognizing that ignoring problems makes them more involved
the more we're complicit
Being involved or guilty by not addressing the issues
Building bridges cross the ridges for a friendship
Attempting to build connections for reconciliation
hear the bombers coming closer now to end it
Sensing impending destruction or conflict
we were on a raft of lies trying to mend it
Being on a foundation of falsehood while trying to repair
bridges burning
Metaphorically, bridges and home are both burning
home is burning
Signifying the severity of the situation, both figuratively and literally
Live the truth or burn
A choice between living truthfully or facing destruction
Live the truth
Emphasizing the importance of living in truth
Live the love
Encouraging a life filled with love
