Build Something New
Embracing the Flames: Building a New Future Amidst Chaos
Lyrics
The whole world is burning down
The world is in chaos and turmoil.
The way out will never be found
Finding a solution or escape seems impossible.
I've burned the bridges I've crossed
The speaker has severed connections with the past.
To erase the path back to the past
Intentionally removing the ability to return to previous circumstances.
I think I'm moving forward, but I know
Despite efforts to progress, the speaker acknowledges proximity to what they are trying to escape.
I'm closer now to what I'm running from
The speaker is getting closer to the source of their troubles.
Lay me to rest if I say, I'm done
Expressing a willingness to accept death if declaring surrender.
Without this organ that beats with a fire I can't put out
A metaphorical organ represents a passionate drive that cannot be extinguished.
The light ahead will just flicker out
The hope for a positive outcome is fading.
The ghost inside is breathing again
Inner struggles or conflicts are resurfacing.
The smoke has cleared, I am not dead
The speaker has survived a challenging situation.
But, for a minute there, I was in a state of disrepair
Temporary emotional breakdown or vulnerability.
The whole world is burning down
Reiteration of the chaotic state of the world.
So, dance with me as the embers fall to our feet
Inviting someone to share moments of despair or difficulty.
Bury me if I say I'm done
Expressing a willingness to be buried if surrendering.
Without this organ that beats with a fire I can't put out
Reiteration of the indomitable passion or drive.
The light ahead will just flicker out
The hope for a positive outcome is diminishing further.
The unknown will have you look back and grab on to the past
Reflection on the past is inevitable in uncertain times.
But, that life boat's sinking fast
Warning against clinging to past solutions that are failing.
So, let it go
Advising to let go of ineffective strategies or beliefs.
The whole world is burning down
Reiteration of the world's chaotic state.
The way out may never be found
Doubt about finding a way out of the chaos.
I'll build something new here
Commitment to creating something new in the aftermath.
Now that the smoke has cleared
Acknowledging clarity after surviving a difficult situation.
