Burning Doves
Burning Doves: A Passionate Dive into Love's Abyss
Lyrics
Behind a velvet rope, we hide in plain sight
Metaphorical hiding behind societal barriers, concealed but not really hidden
We're dressed in black smoke and have our hands tied
Symbolic of a mysterious and restrictive situation, possibly suggesting secrecy or constraint
She says I see you babe but we are both blind
An acknowledgment of mutual blindness, an inability to see the truth or reality
Our bodies yearnin' for what we cannot find
Desire for something elusive or unattainable, a sense of yearning
The end is beginnin' and I'm fallin'
An indication of a significant change or transition
So take it or leave it cause I'm all in
A commitment to a situation or relationship, regardless of consequences
We're too young to die today, to die today
Recognition of youth but also a sense of vulnerability and mortality
But we're too broken to fly away, to fly away
An acknowledgment of emotional brokenness hindering the ability to escape
'Cause we both know betta' than to set ourselves on fire
A caution against self-destructive actions in the pursuit of love
All in the name of love
Reference to acts done in the name of love, potentially with consequences
We're too young to be afraid to fly like burnin' doves
Expression of courage in the face of fear, a willingness to take risks
You've been on your knees prayin' for so long
Implies a prolonged period of desperate prayer or seeking guidance
When you close your eyes the words do not come
A difficulty in expressing oneself despite the desire to communicate
The end is beginnin' and you're fallin'
Reiteration of a significant change or transition, falling into the unknown
So take it or leave it cause I'm all in
Reiteration of commitment despite uncertainties
We're too young to die today, to die today
Similar to line 8, emphasizing youth and vulnerability to mortality
But we're too broken to fly away, to fly away
Reiteration of emotional brokenness hindering the ability to escape
'Cause we both know betta' than to set ourselves on fire
Reiteration of caution against self-destructive actions in the name of love
All in the name of love
Reiteration of acts done in the name of love, suggesting consequences
We're too young to be afraid to fly like burnin' doves
Reiteration of courage in facing fears and taking risks for love
If you can show me, I can lift you up
An offer of support and upliftment if reciprocated
And if you call my name, then I can see up
Implies clarity and vision when called upon
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the things we've done
An apology for past actions or mistakes
We're fallin', we're fallin' from a burnin' sun
Symbolizes a fall or descent from a destructive force, perhaps love
We flew too high lookin' for love
Acknowledgment of reaching too high or aiming for an unattainable love
We knew the skies, but not well enough
A realization of the limits of understanding or knowledge in a relationship
We're too young to die today, to die today
Reiteration of the vulnerability of youth in the face of mortality
But we're too broken to fly away, to fly away
Reiteration of emotional brokenness hindering the ability to escape
'Cause we both know betta' than to set ourselves on fire
Reiteration of caution against self-destructive actions in the name of love
All in the name of love
Reiteration of acts done in the name of love, suggesting consequences
We're too young to be afraid to fly like burnin' doves
Reiteration of courage in facing fears and taking risks for love
