Eternal Flames: Unveiling the Depths of Love and Loss in XIII
Lyrics
Push me, too far
Feeling pushed beyond limits.
Kick back, no control
Reacting with resistance, lacking control.
Time slips, mind frays
Time slipping away, mental state deteriorating.
Like the beast, love leave its mark on me
Comparing the impact of love to a beast leaving a lasting mark.
So now, you see
Asserting resilience and strength.
I’m not so fragile
Challenging the perception of fragility.
Set fires, Set free
Initiating change and liberation.
If I’m a monster then you made me
Attributing a monstrous aspect to oneself due to external influence.
This girl flies high
Describing a person who experiences highs and lows.
Yet falls so hard
Highlighting vulnerability and susceptibility to hardships.
This light burns bright
Symbolizing a powerful, yet potentially destructive, light.
Collapse my heart
Expressing emotional collapse.
Life turned to dust
Metaphorically depicting life's disintegration.
The things, you fear the most
Referencing fears and their overwhelming nature.
These wings, my shield
Describing wings as protection against adversity.
This wasn’t part of the fucking deal
Expressing discontent with an unexpected outcome.
Scorched earth, dead bones
Portraying destruction and loss in a relationship.
Love lost then broken
Linking love to pain and fracture.
Set fires, set free
Reiterating the theme of liberation through destruction.
If I’m the hero, then you broke me
Suggesting a broken hero persona.
13 damn good reasons,
Enumerating reasons intensifying inner turmoil.
To tie my terror tonight
Alluding to the severity of personal fears.
Late to the table,
Being belatedly aware of a situation.
An X and three I’s
Referencing a symbolic representation with an "X" and three "I's."
It stings when you misunderstand me
Expressing discomfort caused by misunderstanding.
You gave me shitty advice
Critiquing advice received as unhelpful.
Thirteen damn good reasons
Reiterating the numerous reasons for internal struggles.
To take me tonight
Suggesting a willingness to confront personal challenges.
This girl flies high
Recalling the theme of highs and lows in a person's life.
Yet falls so hard
Reiterating vulnerability to emotional falls.
This light burns bright
Repeating the metaphor of a powerful and potentially destructive light.
Collapse my heart, heart, heart
Echoing the theme of emotional collapse.
