Burn
Eternal Flames: Unraveling the Emotion in Mighty Oaks' 'Burn'
Lyrics
We got the flame, we should let it burn
We possess a passion, and we should allow it to flourish.
It's a shame if we don't, cause god damn it hurt
It's regrettable if we don't let it thrive because it truly hurts.
And oh they call it love, but it don't feel the same
Love is mentioned, but it doesn't feel the way it did in our youth; something has changed.
as when we were young Something has changed
Reflecting on the past when a shift occurred in the dynamics of the relationship.
And right from the start, you weren't to be tamed
From the beginning, it was evident that you couldn't be controlled.
Yeah you ripped it apart by playing your games
You disrupted things by engaging in manipulative actions and games.
And I should've known what lay before me
I should have foreseen what awaited me in this relationship.
A rose and a thorn. That you'd make me bleed
Comparing the relationship to a rose with beauty and a thorn causing pain.
And all that I could do was fill my lungs and stoke the flame
All I could do was breathe deeply and intensify the passion.
I've been here before, but I can't seem to turn away
Despite having experienced similar situations before, I can't resist.
I've got all my heart in you
I've invested all my emotions in you.
It's easy to walk. That's something I know
Choosing the easier path of walking away, a familiar choice.
Cuz I've been doing it so long. Say the words, shut the door
Been doing it for a long time – saying goodbye and closing the door.
And off on my way, forget what I've seen
Leaving behind what I've witnessed without expressing my feelings.
And nothing to say for all that we've been
No words to account for all that we've gone through.
And all that I could do was fill my lungs and stoke the flame
Again, intensifying the passion by breathing deeply.
I've been here before, but I can't seem to turn away
Despite familiarity with such situations, I can't break away.
I've got all my heart in you.
I've invested all my emotions in you.
And all that I could do was fill my lungs and stoke the flame
Repeating the cycle of deep breaths and intensified passion.
I've been here before, but I can't seem to turn away
Unable to turn away despite previous experiences.
I've got all my heart in you
I've invested all my emotions in you.
I can't turn away, I've got all my heart in you
I can't break away; my emotions are fully invested in you.
