A New Flame
A New Flame: Embracing Love's Redemption
Lyrics
I was bowled out
I was completely captivated
I was sold down the river
I was betrayed or deceived
And her warm heart
Refers to a woman with a warm and affectionate heart
Would turn me forever
Her warmth had a lasting impact on me
She's turned me round
My perspective has changed
A new flame has come
A new passion or love has entered my life
And nothing she can do
No matter what she does, it won't harm me
Can do me wrong
Assurance that the new love is strong and trustworthy
I am stern now
I am now serious or determined
Petty words
Trivial words or actions don't affect me
Don't believe me
Don't doubt my sincerity
But her warm smile
Her warm and genuine smile is unforgettable
Is never gonna leave me
Her positive influence will always be with me
She's turned me round
Similar to line 6, reiterating the change in perspective
A new flame has come
Reiteration of the arrival of a new love
And nothing she can do
Emphasizes the strength and reliability of the new love
Can do me wrong
Reassurance that the new love won't cause harm
Wrong oh no
Expressing certainty that the new love won't go wrong
Wrong oh no
Reaffirming the absence of any wrongdoing
She's made of real glass
Describing the woman as delicate and vulnerable
She got real real emotion
She expresses genuine and intense emotions
But my heart laughs
Despite her vulnerability, my heart is joyful
I have that same
Comparing the singer's devotion to the woman's emotions
Sweet devotion
Reassurance of the singer's devoted feelings
She's turned me round
Similar to lines 6 and 17, reinforcing the change in perspective
A new flame has come
Reiterating the arrival of a new, transformative love
And nothing she can do
Emphasizes the unwavering nature of the new love
Can do me wrong
Reassurance that the new love won't cause harm
Wrong oh no
Reiteration that nothing is wrong
Wrong oh no
Continuation of the theme that nothing is wrong
Nothing she can do
Emphasizes that nothing she does can cause harm
Can ever do me wrong
Absolute certainty that the new love won't go wrong
