Cindersun
Sacrifice and Redemption in Cindersun's Embrace
Lyrics
I carved my own wings to be with you
I took significant efforts to be close to you.
My golden sun
Refers to the person addressed as someone special, radiant, or important.
I starved and lost all I had to lose
I suffered and lost everything I had.
The toll of wonder and control
The consequences of amazement and control have taken their toll.
My soul is bared for you
I have revealed my innermost self to you.
In the warmth of the Cindersun
Symbolic of a place or state of warmth, comfort, or familiarity.
I sacrificed all that there was left
I gave up everything that remained.
Of the broken ones
Refers to individuals who are damaged or fractured.
Who live in the shallows of my breath
Those who barely exist in my presence.
I fell from the skies to steal a view
I descended to gain a different perspective.
My chosen one
The person I have chosen or consider special.
I burned and the atmosphere tore through
I suffered greatly, and the environment reacted harshly to it.
I was undone
I was completely defeated.
So tell me the reason I see you
Questioning the purpose behind encountering the addressed person.
Have you come to pay the toll
Asking if the addressed person has come to fulfill obligations and make things right.
And make me whole again
To heal and become complete in the warmth mentioned before.

Of the crawling dawn

Protected by the shadow of my wings
