We Were Fire
Burning Dreams: MajorVoice's Haunting Reflection on Love and Despair
Lyrics
There is something in the air
There is a noticeable change or tension in the atmosphere.
I can taste the end
The speaker senses the approaching conclusion or demise of something.
More than salt in every wound
Experiencing more than just the pain, additional challenges are evident.
No pain departs
No suffering or hardship is disappearing; it lingers.
Each touch turns metallic cold
Physical contact feels emotionally distant and cold.
And all we're good at now
The primary skill now is constructing aspirations only to dismantle them.
Is building dreams to cut them down
Expresses a pattern of building dreams and subsequently destroying them.
Tell me why
An invitation or plea to explain the reasons behind the current situation.
We were told we were fire
A reminder of being told they possess a powerful and transformative quality, symbolized as fire.
But the world is burning underneath our feet
Despite being told they are like fire, the world is in chaos or crisis.
We were told we were fire
Reiterates the idea that they were told they are powerful like fire, but the reality is different.
But the truth is pale to see
The truth about their supposed fiery nature is now evident.
We were told we were fire
Despite the previous narrative, the world is breaking apart beneath them.
But the world is cracking underneath our feet
Emphasizes the crumbling state of the world despite being told they were like fire.
Dancing flames in a pyre
Imagery of dancing flames in a pyre, possibly symbolizing destruction and sacrifice.
We were told we were fire
Reiteration of being told they are like fire, highlighting a contradiction.
Seeking comfort in despair
Looking for solace or relief in a state of hopelessness.
On this slow descent
A gradual decline, possibly in a situation or relationship.
The ghost of love in every room
The remnants of love linger in every space, haunting both individuals.
Haunts both our hearts
The impact of loss or separation is deeply felt in their hearts.
Have we lost all that we hold
Questioning if everything they valued is now gone.
Is the darkest day to come
Contemplating if the worst is yet to come, possibly the darkest day.
Or are we stronger still as one?
Considering the strength that comes from unity in facing challenges.
Tell me why
A repeated call for an explanation or understanding of the situation.
We were told we were fire
Recalling the earlier notion of being told they were like fire.
But the world is burning underneath our feet
Despite the previous narrative, the world is in a state of turmoil.
We were told we were fire
Reiterating the contradiction between the initial narrative and the current reality.
But the truth is pale to see
The reality of their situation contradicts the earlier perception of being like fire.
We were told we were fire
Despite the previous narrative, the world is falling apart beneath them.
But the world is cracking underneath our feet
Emphasizing the deteriorating state of the world despite the initial narrative.
Dancing flames in a pyre
Symbolic imagery of dancing flames in a pyre, reinforcing themes of destruction.
We were told we were fire
Reiteration of being told they are like fire, further emphasizing the contradiction.
