The Cost
Embracing the Flames: Unveiling the Profound Meaning of 'The Cost'
Lyrics
Love has been the cause
Love is the source or reason for all the suffering experienced.
Of all this suffering
Our suffering is a direct result of love.
And what has been our loss
Our loss has been caused by love gaining prominence.
Has been it's gaining
Love, in gaining significance, has led to our losses.
So lay your burdens down
Encouraging the release of burdens and cessation of crying.
And stop your crying
Encouraging emotional relief and an end to tears.
We'll let it burn
Expressing a willingness to let love burn and potentially destroy.
Burn us down, burn us
Willingness to let the destructive nature of love affect and consume us.
And low have been the odds
Highlighting the low probability of a reunion with a loved one.
Of our reuniting
Emphasizing the slim chances of coming back together with a loved one.
And where now can we turn
Asking where to turn when there is nothing left.
When we've got nothing
Expressing a state of having nothing left to turn to.
We'll let it burn
Reiterating a willingness to let love burn and potentially destroy.
Burn us down, burn us
Reaffirming the readiness to let the destructive nature of love impact us.
We'll let it burn
Repeating the willingness to let love burn and potentially destroy.
Burn us down, burn us
Reiterating the readiness to let the destructive nature of love impact us.
And maybe it'll turn
Expressing a possibility that the experience might bring about a positive change.
Us around
Suggesting that the potential positive change may turn things around for us.
