This song details a man’s inner battles as he sees an old flame and dredges up old feelings. It explains the deep wounds they both just opened up by seeing each other for even just that moment.
Reigniting old flames can be both exhilarating and traumatizing, if you so choose to do so.
Esc Lyrics
You stopped
Dead in your tracks
A ghost from the past
Had come back to play
To fuck up your day
But
You spot an exit
A door standing red lit
You leave it to chance
But you're worried 'cuz you'd rather go up than down
You never like to hear the sound
She makes
You'd rather go up than down
But she's still gonna give and you're still gonna take it
Yeah, you're still gonna take it now
It'll all be better when the clock runs out
(Say it til it's true)
(Say it til it's true)
But I don't want to feel what I felt when I fell back down
(Nothing you could do)
(Nothing you could do)
I could smell the smoke
But could not see the flames
Never thought we'd choke
But I had forgot your name
In the dark
All the wounds we had opened
Seemed more like a reason to bury the pain
And the fork
In the paths we had chosen
Had made it too easy to open gate
And I know
The deeper it goes
The deeper it goes
The more it unfolds
I get further from ever getting far away
The deeper it goes
The deeper it goes
The lies that were told
I get lost in the storm of the hell I made
The deeper it goes
The deeper it goes
The more it unfolds
I get further from ever getting far away
The deeper it goes
The deeper it goes
The lies that were told
I get lost in the storm of the hell I made
