Lyrics
One last drag from your cigarette
Indulging in a final drag of a cigarette
Before we're burning out, can you give me that?
Seeking a moment before the intensity fades away
Like the ashes down in your tray
Comparing emotions to ashes in an ashtray
My flesh and spirit have turned to grey
Expressing a feeling of emotional numbness or desaturation
Way down we go
Descending or facing a challenging situation
Like fireflies
Symbolizing fragility and fleeting moments, like fireflies
Into the glow
Entering a state of radiant intensity or passion
Every child can see
Highlighting the universal understanding of the experience
We burn ourselves
Acknowledging the tendency to harm oneself in the pursuit of passion
Too easily
Commenting on the ease with which one can be emotionally hurt
I'm so addicted to your taste
Expressing a strong craving for someone's essence
And the way you fill a room with grace
Appreciating the impact and aura the person brings to a space
And the poison in my veins
Referring to a harmful influence that circulates in the bloodstream
Is a price that I will gladly pay
Accepting the cost of the toxic relationship willingly
Way down we go
Reiterating the descent into a profound emotional state
Like fireflies
Continuing the metaphor of fragility and transient beauty
Into the glow
Embracing the intense and luminous experience
Every child can see
Repeating the notion of universal recognition of self-inflicted pain
We burn ourselves
Acknowledging the tendency to harm oneself emotionally
Too easily
Reflecting on the ease with which emotional wounds occur
