Flare
[ma] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is a warning you are losing one of your sons
I've fallen away from my occupation
Cuz when I push the pencil they load the shells
That turn heaven into hell

This is a warning shot across the bow in high and tight
3000 flares didn't do nothin but light up the sky
And fall as limp reflections in your eyes
So this son says goodbye





I'll try to take my mind off of the shells
That turn heaven into hell

Overall Meaning

In "flare," [ma] delivers a poignant message about the emotional struggles and sacrifices that come with pursuing a career in the military. The lyrics speak of a son who has fallen away from his occupation, implying that he has abandoned his duties as a soldier. He warns his family that they are losing a son to the trauma and violence of war, symbolized by the loaded shells that "turn heaven into hell." The son seems to have lost his faith and sense of purpose, struggling with the moral implications of his actions and the destruction wrought by his military service.


The song also hints at the futility of military action, with lines such as "3000 flares didn't do nothin but light up the sky." The image of flares falling as limp reflections in the eyes of those below underscores the sense of disillusionment and despair that pervades the song. The son's decision to say goodbye suggests that he has chosen to leave the military behind, perhaps seeking a different path in life. Overall, "flare" is a powerful commentary on the toll of war and the psychological burden that soldiers carry with them long after they leave the battlefield.


Line by Line Meaning

This is a warning you are losing one of your sons
I am warning you that you are losing me, your son


I've fallen away from my occupation
I have moved away from my job or career


Cuz when I push the pencil they load the shells
Whenever I try to work or create, they prepare ammunition to attack me


That turn heaven into hell
These attacks turn my peaceful life into a living hell


This is a warning shot across the bow in high and tight
I am giving you a warning message that is direct and forceful


3000 flares didn't do nothin but light up the sky
Even after trying 3000 times, nothing changed and the problem remained


And fall as limp reflections in your eyes
My attempts to get your attention and make a change in our relationship were ignored


So this son says goodbye
As a result, I am leaving and saying goodbye


I'll try to take my mind off of the shells
I will attempt to forget about the attacks and move on


That turn heaven into hell
As these attacks transform my peaceful world into chaos and misery

As a new investor, it's important to remember that investing and trading require more than just technical analysis skills. Discipline and emotional maturity play a significant role in achieving success. It's wise to keep in mind the adage of "time in the market vs. timing the market," as this mentality can help you weather market volatility. With insights of Karen Gauvin and my commitment to learning and growth, I've been increasing my earnings in just a few months. Keep up the good work!

Let me be frank, venturing into the world of cryptocurrencies without the guidance of a professional trader is not always profitable, which is why I invested in Mrs.Karen Gauvin she has always supported me.

Great news. Are we getting 100% or only 15%? If only 15%, how do we delegate in order to receive the rest over the time? Thank you!

It sounds like a load of unnecessary bollocks to get your tokens

Are they uploading all the tokens at once? Or should I be expecting more airdrops, because they didn't give me nearly my full amount.
