Lyrics
The ashes of a home once full of such joy
The remnants of a once joy-filled home reduced to ashes.
Now sits a reminder of death
Symbolizing death, a reminder now occupies the space.
Leaves a city unrest
The aftermath leaves the city in unrest.
Smoke fills his chest til' the end
Smoke lingers in his chest until his demise.
And who's to blame?
Questioning who is responsible for the tragedy.
As I speak your name
Expressing the deceased person's name while speaking.
What's left to say is that "I wish we could just ask God why"
The only remaining sentiment is a wish to ask God for an explanation.
But you, you left, in a rush and it makes me so afraid that death could take me any moment
The departed left abruptly, instilling fear of imminent death.
You fell away
Addressing the departure with a sense of falling away.
With a strike of the match summons death to his door
A metaphorical match ignites death's presence.
Those scars were wrote, but to the lives you spoke with held back and choke, just breathe
Scars on lives caused by withheld and choked words, emphasizing the importance of breathing.
Consuming his life so young and afraid
The departed's life consumed prematurely, filled with fear.
Nothing's ever gonna be the same since you were a ghost in flames the many lives you changed
Highlighting the irreversible change caused by the departed person's influence.
You never got the chance to get away
Regret for not getting a chance to escape the tragedy.
Surrounded by flames he feels the pain
Suffering surrounded by the metaphorical flames of pain.
But I knew I couldn't comprehend that I won't ever see you again
Realization of never seeing the departed person again.
Searching through my eyes and it's plain to see how much we're affected by this broken tragedy
Observing the impact of the tragedy through one's own eyes.
Watching a friend fall, the day I can recall, takes the breath from my lungs, showing the hell of it all
Recalling the day a friend fell, vividly capturing the essence of the suffering.
But, life isn't perfect no one could deserve this
Acknowledging life's imperfection and the undeserved nature of the tragedy.
Still wandering through these halls while I wonder why you left
Continuing to navigate through the pain while questioning the reason for the departure.
Take a breath
An urging to take a moment to breathe amidst the emotional turmoil.
Am I ever gonna see you again?
Expressing uncertainty about ever encountering the departed person again.
You were a true friend
Affirming the departed person as a true friend.
An unfortunate means to end
Reflecting on the unfortunate and abrupt end of the friendship.
You fell away
Reiterating the sense of loss after the departure.
And I'm so lost without you
Expressing profound disorientation and emptiness without the departed person.
Oh god just take it back
Pleading to undo the tragic events, wishing for a reversal.
Why can't you take it back?
Questioning why the tragic events cannot be reversed.
Oh god just take it back
A repeated plea for a reversal of the irreversible.
I can see it solely through my eyes
Seeing the departed person's life solely through one's own eyes.
The life you were given
Contemplating the essence and value of the departed person's life.
No, I couldn't believe anymore in this world that we live in
Losing belief in the world due to the tragic events.
The future's bleak, taunted by memories of you and me
Anticipating a bleak future haunted by memories of the departed person.
Full of the scars you can't see
The lasting impact of unseen emotional scars.
With a strike of the match summons death to his door
A repetition of the match metaphor, signifying the summoning of death.
Those scars were wrote, but to the lives you spoke with held back and choke, just breathe
Reiterating the scars on lives caused by withheld and choked words, emphasizing the importance of breathing.
Consuming his life so young and afraid
Re-emphasizing the premature consumption of life, filled with fear.
Nothing's ever gonna be the same since you were a ghost in flames
Nothing remains the same since the departed person became a metaphorical ghost in flames.
Just want to say that your life has changed me
Expressing gratitude for the profound impact the departed person had on the speaker's life.
