Extinguish
Unraveling Bonds: A Fiery Tale of Betrayal and Self-Reflection
Lyrics
I'm going to begin to burn down this house
I am starting the process of destroying this shared home.
That we built together
This home represents a joint effort between us.
I will ignite each room one by one
I will set each room ablaze one after the other.
My heart will not feed my flames
My emotions will not fuel the destruction I am causing.
What led you to this betrayal of my feelings?
What caused you to betray my emotions in this way?
You want to be so strong and hold
You desire strength and cling to your self-centered beliefs.
To your selfish convictions
Despite our commitment, you prioritize your own convictions.
What about our commitment?
What about the commitment we made together?
How can I fill this grey spot in my heart?
How can I fill this void in my heart caused by sadness or loss?
I thank you though I'm frightened because I'm sinking deeper
I express gratitude despite being scared, sinking into deeper distress.
You've locked the door to my seclusion
You have closed off access to my isolation or retreat.
My own cell, I hate everything, everyone, including myself
I am trapped in my own confinement, harboring hatred for everything, everyone, and even myself.
My heart will not feed my flames
Similar to line 5, emotions will not contribute to the destructive flames I've started.
That I've ignited to erase
The flames, which I've initiated, are meant to erase something.
How can I fill this grey spot in my heart?
Repetition of the question from line 12, emphasizing the struggle to fill the emotional void.
No clean break, no clean slate
No clean break or fresh start is available.
Just a dusty chalk board
There is no easy separation, just a dusty chalkboard representing unresolved issues.
No clean break, no clean slate
Repetition of the idea that there is no easy separation or fresh start.
Just a dusty chalk board
Metaphorically, there is no clean break, just lingering unresolved problems.
