Embers
Ash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tonight my head is full of memories
Winter storms from sea to frozen sea
Days, decades, weeks, years and centuries
Images and thoughts of you and me

Will you remember the fire?
Will you remember the heat?
Will you remember the feelings?
Will you remember the need?
Will you remember the nights?
When you lay by my side?
Will you remember the passion?
Will you remember the times?

What does it mean to lose you memory?
Your psyche, spirit, soul, your history
The spark, the flame, the fire, the love you feel
Are you still present? it's a mystery

Will you remember the fire?
Will you remember the heat?
Will you remember the feelings?
Will you remember the need?
Will you remember the nights?
When you lay by my side?
Will you remember the passion?
Will you remember the times?

I remember the fire
I will remember the tears
I will remember the silence
I will remember the fears
I will remember the nights
When I lay by your side
I will remember the laughter
I will remember the times

I will remember the fire
I will remember the heat
I will remember the feelings
I will remember the need
I will remember the nights
When I lay by your side




I will remember the passion
I will remember the times

After 4 years I must admit that the lyrics don't rock - in high contrast to the beautiful melody!
Listening to it I always want to cut all my childhood/teenage Film memories into these 4:10 minutes of awesomeness piece of golden sound.
