Flame Is Gone
Love's Embers Faded: Mallika Mehta's Powerful Journey of Moving On
Lyrics
Yeah I remember
Reflecting on a past memory
How deep I was in love
Recalling deep feelings of love
And I just wondered
Contemplating and daydreaming
And dreamed of the two of us
Fantasizing about a shared future
Being together
Desiring a lasting togetherness
Forever
Longing for a love that lasts forever
Mad in love
Expressing intense, passionate love
But then I saw you with her and I woke up
Realizing the loved one with someone else
I don't know why I thought we were meant to be
Questioning a perceived destiny with the loved one
When you did not even see me standing there, you see
Noticed the lack of reciprocation
Time has flown away
Time passing, healing emotional pain
Taking away the pain
Embracing healing and moving forward
And the flame is gone
Symbolic reference to the extinguished love
The flame is gone
Reiteration of the love's demise
I'm going to walk away
Deciding to move on
And carry on
Determined to continue with life
I'll prove my strength
Committing to prove personal strength
I'm more than just a dreamer
Asserting individuality beyond mere dreams
And I can't stay no more
Choosing to leave because the love is gone
Cause the flame is gone
Repeated emphasis on the extinguished flame
The flame is gone
-The flame is gone
-The flame is gone
-The flame is gone
Reiteration for emphasis
I won't surrender
Refusing to give up life for the former lover
My life to you anymore
Rejecting emotional surrender to the past
I was always there
Acknowledging past presence, but feeling unseen
But to you I was invisible
Being invisible to the former lover
I was the weird kid
Recalling being perceived as different
I was the mad chick
Remembering a period of intense emotions
All in love
Describing past love with intensity
And after all this time I woke up
Acknowledging awakening from a prolonged illusion
I don't know why I thought we were meant to be
Repeating the confusion about a destined love
When you did not even see me standing there, you see
-Time has flown away
Time passing, continuing to heal
Taking away the pain
Emphasizing the pain dissipating over time
And the flame is gone
Repeated declaration of the extinguished flame
The flame is gone
-I'm going to walk away
-And carry on
-I'll prove my strength
-I'm more than just a dreamer
-And I can't stay no more
-Cause the flame is gone
-The flame is gone
-The flame is gone
-The flame is gone
-The flame is gone
-Ooohhh…
Expressive vocalization, perhaps representing emotion
I don't know why I thought we were meant to be
Repeating the realization of an unfulfilled destiny
When you did not even see me standing there, you see
-I don't know why I thought we were meant to be
Repeating confusion about an unrealized connection
When you did not even see me standing there, you see
-Time has flown away
Repeated emphasis on the extinguished flame
Taking away the pain
-And the flame is gone
-The flame is gone
-The flame is gone
-The flame is gone
-The flame is gone
-The flame is gone
-The flame is gone
-The flame is gone
-The flame is gone
-The flame is gone
Final declaration of the extinguished love
The flame is gone
Concluding repetition of the extinguished flame
