Embers of Longing: Sabrina Ault's Fiery Reflections
Lyrics
There's a fire where the ashes rest, they dance like fire dances best
There's a fire where the ashes rest, symbolizing a lingering intensity or passion in the aftermath of something
It rings in my ears and all comes crashing down here
The impact of the fire is overwhelming, echoing in the speaker's ears, leading to a dramatic collapse or crisis
There's a fire where the ashes rest
Reiteration of the presence of a fire in the remnants, reinforcing its significance
(There's a fire where the ashes rest)
Repetition of the idea that a fire resides where the ashes are, emphasizing its enduring nature
It rings in my ears and all comes crashing down here
The resounding effects of the fire continue, causing a tumultuous and destructive situation
There's a fire where the ashes rest
Restating the existence of a fire in the remains, suggesting a consistent theme or emotion
(There's a fire where the ashes rest)
Continued emphasis on the persistent presence of the fire in the ashes
(There's a fire where the ashes rest)
-(There's a fire where the ashes rest)
-(There's a fire where the ashes rest)
-(There's a fire where the ashes rest)
-They dance like fire dances best
The ashes dance, portraying a lively and vibrant quality akin to the way fire dances
It rings in my ears and all comes crashing down here
Reverberations of the fire continue, leading to a tumultuous situation
Buy me some time, I'll figure out what to say eventually
The speaker requests time to articulate thoughts, acknowledging a difficulty in expression
I swear I'm fine, I can't tell you, I'm afraid of what you'll think of me
The speaker asserts that they are fine but fears judgment, revealing vulnerability and insecurity
Buy me some time, it's easy to write when you're unhappy
The speaker finds it easier to create when unhappy, suggesting a connection between creativity and emotional distress
And I've found that I'm alive, oh I wish that I could breathe
Realization of being alive, coupled with a desire for the ability to breathe freely
Is it too much to ask to feel alive when I am living?
A plea to feel alive in the present moment, questioning the difficulty of such a request
In a flash there's nothing left, my dying brain is unforgiving
A sudden and unforgiving loss, symbolized by a flash leaving nothing behind
When I look at you I swear that I see a shooting star
The speaker perceives someone as a shooting star, expressing admiration or longing
And I'm wishing you were here, but you're always just too far
A wish for the person to be closer, highlighting a sense of distance in the relationship
And I always knew the fire but I never knew the star
Recognition of the intensity (fire) but not fully understanding the person (star)
I'm wishing you were here but you're always just too far
Reiteration of the desire for closeness, emphasizing a perpetual sense of distance
