Flame
ARTBAT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For a fool to cry?
Do you know the meaning
Of goodbye?
There′s a river that's flowing
By all of our trail
And you need to know, need to know
Need to know, need to know
Need to know, need to know
(My only love)
(My only love)
(My only love)
Does it seem so funny
For a fool to cry?
Do you know the meaning
Of goodbye?
The lyrics to ARTBAT's song "Flame" convey a sense of longing and heartbreak. The opening lines, "Does it seems so funny/For a fool to cry?" suggest that the singer has been hurt in some way and is struggling to come to terms with their emotions. They then go on to ask, "Do you know the meaning/Of goodbye?" which speaks to the pain of having to say goodbye to someone they care about. The use of the word "meaning" suggests that the singer is searching for a deeper understanding of what it means to say goodbye to someone they love.
The lines "There's a river that's flowing/By all of our trail" create a vivid image of a path that the singer and their loved one have followed together. The use of the word "trail" suggests a sense of adventure and exploration, while the river symbolizes the ups and downs of their journey. The repetition of "need to know" in the following lines suggests a sense of urgency - the singer needs to know something, perhaps an explanation for why their relationship has ended.
