If You're Back Here With Us, Then Who's Flying the Plane
Burning Bridges: Unveiling the Depths of Desire and Sacrifice
Lyrics
So when the world
Refers to the state of the world
And your
Refers to the listener's emotions or feelings
Sorry eyes meet
When the speaker and the listener connect emotionally
You will be at home
The listener will find comfort or belonging
Under the shade of
Symbolizes a place of decay or decline
Dying trees you're
The listener is associated with dying or decaying surroundings
Burning to the ground
Metaphorical destruction or intense emotional turmoil experienced by the listener
Until we
Until a certain action or condition is fulfilled
Sleep
Reference to rest or a state of peace
Forever
Indefinite continuation of the restful state
'Cause I wanted to be
Desire of the speaker to embody a particular identity or role
Something
The desired identity or role
You wanted me to be
Expectations of the listener regarding the speaker's identity or role
Something else
Discrepancy between the speaker's and listener's desired identities or roles
I would walk through the fire for you
Willingness of the speaker to endure hardship for the listener
Know that I will
Assurance of the speaker's commitment to not be consumed by the hardship
Never burn
Declaration of the speaker's resilience
You're burning bridges to make sure your lies are
Metaphor for severing connections to ensure deception remains the only pathway
The only thing we have to walk across on
Metaphor for creating obstacles preventing reconciliation or progress
You're digging ditches to bury a vision
Destroying opportunities for a shared future
Of us and our loved ones
The act of destroying aspirations involving relationships
Until we
Until a certain action or condition is fulfilled
Sleep
Reference to rest or a state of peace
Forever
Indefinite continuation of the restful state
'Cause I wanted to be
Desire of the speaker to embody a particular identity or role
Something
The desired identity or role
You wanted me to be
Expectations of the listener regarding the speaker's identity or role
Something else
Discrepancy between the speaker's and listener's desired identities or roles
I would walk through the fire for you
Willingness of the speaker to endure hardship for the listener
And know that I will
Assurance of the speaker's commitment to not be consumed by the hardship
Never burn
Declaration of the speaker's resilience
Are you ready?
Question prompting readiness
Yeah
Affirmative response
I would walk through the fire for you
Willingness of the speaker to endure hardship for the listener (reiteration)
I would walk through the fire for you
Reiteration of the speaker's commitment to endure hardship
I would bleed and die right now
Extreme commitment to sacrificing for the listener
I would walk through the fire for you
Reiteration of willingness to endure extreme hardship for the listener
Know that I will never burn
Assurance of the speaker's commitment to not be consumed by the hardship (reiteration)
