I Have Been A Fire
From Flames to Blooms: A Love's Transformative Journey
Lyrics
I have been a fire i have been a fire
I have experienced intense passion or enthusiasm.
Burning from below hot enough to know
The passion was strong and knowledgeable, possibly causing pain.
I have been a fire
Reiteration of having been consumed by passion or intensity.
You were just a flower always just a flower
You, the other person, were delicate and beautiful like a flower.
Tender like a rose
Your tenderness is compared to that of a rose.
With charred and blackened toes
Metaphorically, your essence is damaged or altered.
And still you call me still adore me
Despite my intensity or flaws, you still love and admire me.
Still you call me love, love love
Repetition emphasizing the enduring nature of the affection.
Still you call me love, you call me love
Continued acknowledgment of being loved.
I have been a fire i have been a fire
Reiteration of past intense experiences or emotions.
Silently I burn far too proud to learn
My passion or intensity is expressed silently, possibly leading to pride and a reluctance to learn.
I have been a fire
Restating the experience of being consumed by intense emotions.
You became the water you became the water
You transformed into a calming or purifying influence, like water.
Washed me 'til I drowned
You cleansed or rescued me until I felt overwhelmed or submerged.
Picked me from the ground
You lifted me up from a difficult situation or emotional low.
You became the water
Continuation of the metaphor, depicting a transformative role.
