Lyrics
Let it rise, let it fall
Expressing a willingness to experience ups and downs.
Let me cry, let me face it all
Openness to facing challenges and emotions, including tears.
I'll come crashing down, I won't understand
Anticipating a significant emotional impact and confusion.
You made your peace with honesty, you walked away through tearful haze
Acknowledging a separation marked by honesty and emotional pain.
I don't have the tools to pull this apart
Feeling inadequacy or a lack of tools to handle a situation.
I know it's bad news, I know it's a start
Awareness of bad news and recognizing it as a starting point.
We were souls, dancing through the dark, throwing light
Recalling a time of shared experiences, symbolized as souls dancing in the dark.
We were soldiers, fighting for the night
Describing a unity or camaraderie in facing challenges (soldiers fighting for the night).
And I'll run so I'm numb to the thought of us
Choosing to run away to numb oneself from thinking about the relationship.
Exchanging notes, holding hands, whispering words, burning to dust
Enumerating shared moments: exchanging notes, holding hands, whispering words, all now fading away like burning to dust.
Burning to Dust
Repeating the theme of the relationship burning to dust.
I'll come crashing down, I won't understand
Reiterating the emotional impact and lack of understanding.
You made your peace with honesty, you walked away through tearful haze
Revisiting the separation marked by honesty and tears.
I don't have the tools to pull this apart
Expressing a continued inability to dissect or understand the situation.
I know it's bad news, I know it's a start
Acknowledging the awareness of bad news as a starting point for change.
We were souls, dancing through the dark, throwing light
Reflecting on shared experiences in the past, symbolized as dancing souls in the dark.
We were soldiers, fighting for the night
Emphasizing unity and shared struggle as soldiers fighting for the night.
And I'll run so I'm numb to the thought of us
Choosing to run away and numb oneself to thoughts about the relationship.
Exchanging notes, holding hands, whispering words, burning to dust
Reiterating shared moments now fading away like burning to dust.
Burning too-oo
Repeating the phrase "Burning to Dust" as a motif.
We were souls, dancing through the dark, throwing light

We were soldiers, fighting for the night

Burning to dust
Concluding with the overarching theme of the relationship disintegrating into dust.
