The Wilting
A Thousand Falling Skies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But somehow your perfume still lingers.
Somehow certain words should have been said.
To keep these fires burning bright.
Burn these bridges.
Cause our times running out.
Curse my strategy.
This time it's not working out.
There's agony in these.
Pieces of my heart.
I hope you spend every night alone.
Well now the skies have turned auburn.
But somehow your perfume still lingers.
Maybe certain words should have been said.
To keep these fires burning bright.
Here we go again, with these empty promises.
The broken bones the empty shells.
Here's your bed of roses.
Here's your sunshine.
Burn these bridges.
Cause our times running out.
Curse my strategy.
This time it's not working out.
There's tragedy in this.
There's agony in these.
Pieces of my heart.
Pieces of my heart.
Here we go again, with these empty promises.
The broken bones the empty shells.
Here's your bed of roses.
Here's your sunshine.
The song "The Wilting" by A Thousand Falling Skies is about heartbreak and the regret that comes with it. The lyrics speak about the aftermath of a failed relationship and the pain of letting go. The opening lines of the song "Well now the skies have turned auburn, But somehow your perfume still lingers" sets the mournful tone. The singer is lamenting the end of a relationship and given the description of the sky possibly symbolizing the last light of the day, it could be that this is a metaphor for the end of the relationship.
The lyrics repeatedly call for burning bridges to symbolize cutting off all ties with their ex-lover as they have nothing left to say to each other. The line "Maybe certain words should have been said. To keep these fires burning bright" suggest that the singer is not entirely clear on whether they should have fought harder to save the relationship. The pain they are feeling comes out in lines such as "There's tragedy in this. There's agony in these. Pieces of my heart. I hope you spend every night alone". It's a bitter sentiment, but it's a clear expression of hurt.
Overall, "The Wilting" is a melancholic rock ballad that effectively conveys the pain of a broken relationship.
