BURNING DOWN
Embracing Flames: A Poetic Journey Through Desolation
Lyrics
I'm already gone
I have already left or moved on.
Put the pennies on my eyes
Symbolic gesture of preparing for death, traditionally putting coins on the eyes of the deceased.
This world is burning down
Expressing the current state of the world as chaotic and destructive.
A world engulfed in flames
Describing a world consumed by fire and chaos.
I'd rather burn than run away
Prefer facing the consequences (burning) over escaping or avoiding them.
I watched your tears melt off your face
Observing the impact of intense emotions on someone else.
They said we'd be okay
Contrasting a promise of safety with the reality of destruction.
And now were burning down
Confirming the earlier mentioned destruction, possibly due to unfulfilled promises.
There's ashes falling on the ground
Literal remnants of the destruction falling to the ground.
You tried to scream my name
Attempt to get attention or help in a desperate situation.
But I don't want to hear it now
Rejecting communication and support from others.
And I told you
Previous warning or indication of unwillingness to listen.
I don't wanna hear it again
Reiterating the refusal to listen or engage in conversation.
Now I sit inside my room
Isolating oneself, possibly as a result of the destructive events.
And I'm forgetting my friends
Memory loss or intentional forgetting of friends.
I forgot the time
Forgetting or losing track of time.
Filling in the lines
Filling in the details or aspects of life.
Who am I?
Questioning one's identity or existence.
When I die
Reflecting on identity in the face of mortality.
Put the pennies on my eyes
Repeating the symbolic act of preparing for death.
It seems the past still haunts me
Haunted by the past, struggling to escape its influence.
Wishing I could just runaway
Expressing a desire to escape from current troubles or challenges.
Taking pills just to medicate
Using medication to cope with pain or emotional distress.
Ex-romance manifested migraines
Referencing the negative effects of past romantic relationships, causing headaches.
Just let me go
Requesting to be left alone or allowed to depart.
Make your peace with me
Asking for acceptance or resolution from others.
I've paid my dues
Claiming to have fulfilled obligations or faced consequences.
Now just leave me be
Pleading to be left alone or given space.
Down in the ditch is where my grave's now
Describing the final resting place as a ditch, suggesting a low point or undesirable end.
It's a long way down
Highlighting the difficulty or length of the journey to the end.
So please don't reach out
Requesting not to be reached out to, indicating a desire for solitude.
I'm already gone
Reiteration of having already left or moved on.
Put the pennies on my eyes
Repeating the symbolic act of preparing for death, emphasizing finality.
This world is burning down
Reaffirming the perception of the world as undergoing destruction.
