Burned Out
Ephemeral Flames: Love's Swift Burnout
Lyrics
It was only yesterday, we were
Reflecting on a recent past, possibly a relationship.
Driving down the PCH, I was
Recalling a drive down the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH).
Getting lost inside your eyes
Feeling captivated by the partner's eyes.
Sleeping in the back of my car
Remembering moments of intimacy, sleeping in the car.
It was such a beautiful start
Acknowledging a beautiful beginning.
Maybe you made me blind
Suggesting that intense emotions may have clouded judgment.
We were moving way too fast
Recognizing the relationship was progressing too quickly.
Should've known it wouldn't last
Realizing that the rapid pace was unsustainable.
Like a firework on the 5th of July
Comparing the intensity of the relationship to fireworks.
Like a million stars at the end of the night
Describing the relationship's brilliance and subsequent fading.
We were slowly losing time
Noting the passage of time and its impact on the relationship.
Just a momentary high
Acknowledging that the highs were temporary.
But what goes up, must come down
Expressing the inevitability of highs being followed by lows.
And like a flame
Comparing the relationship to a flame, hinting at its end.
We burned out
Summing up the relationship as burning out.
Standing in the morning light, you could
Depicting a moment of realization in the morning light.
Cut the silence with a knife, there was
Describing a profound silence and the end of the relationship.
Nothing left for us to save
Accepting that there's nothing left to salvage.
And everytime I thought there was something for us to build on
Reflecting on false hopes and illusions about the relationship.
I realized I was lying to myself all along
Admitting self-deception regarding the potential for growth.
Lying to myself all along
Reiterating the realization of self-deception.
Like a firework on the 5th of July
Repeating the fireworks metaphor to emphasize intensity.
Like a million stars at the end of the night
Reiterating the brilliance and subsequent dimming of the relationship.
We were slowly losing time
Re-emphasizing the impact of time on the relationship.
Just a momentary high
Repeating the idea of momentary highs.
But what goes up, must come down
Reiterating the inevitability of highs being followed by lows.
And like a flame
Reiterating the flame metaphor, suggesting the end of the relationship.
We burned out
Reiterating that the relationship has burned out.
We burned out
Repeating the declaration that the relationship has ended.
We were moving way too fast
Recalling the realization of the relationship's unsustainable pace.
Should've known it wouldn't last
Acknowledging the foreseeability of the relationship's end.
Like a firework on the 5th of July
Repeating the fireworks metaphor to emphasize intensity.
Like a million stars at the end of the night
Reiterating the brilliance and subsequent dimming of the relationship.
We were slowly losing time
Re-emphasizing the impact of time on the relationship.
Just a momentary high
Repeating the idea of momentary highs.
But what goes up, must come down
Reiterating the inevitability of highs being followed by lows.
And like a flame
Reiterating the flame metaphor, suggesting the end of the relationship.
We burned out
Reiterating that the relationship has burned out.
We burned out
Repeating the declaration that the relationship has ended.
We burned out
-We burned out
