Survive
Blanke Luma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don′t see a way out
No, no
Calling from the towers
Let it ring out
Giving up the fortress
You're the king now, now
You will watch me
Morning comes and darkness starts to die
(Starts to die)
I′m not afraid of fire
It's keeping me alive
Meet the ending, you and I
And one of us survives
I'm not afraid of fire
It′s keeping me alive
Meet the ending, you and I
And one of us survives
One of us survives
See it in the sunrise
Watch the river run red
And oh, run, run
The air is growing so cold
In the throne room
Anybody out there
Let it end soon, oh-oh
No-ooh
I′m not afraid of fire
It's keeping me alive
Meet the ending, you and I
And one of us survives
I′m not afraid of fire
It's keeping me alive
Meet the ending, you and I
And one of us survives
I′m not afraid of fire
It's keeping me alive
Meet the ending, you and I
And one of us survives
One of us survives
The song "Survive" by Blanke Luma is a powerful and emotive track that touches on themes of love, vulnerability, and survival. The lyrics speak to loving someone while having your "walls up", which suggests a feeling of being guarded and possibly fearful of being hurt. The singer acknowledges that they don't see a way out of this situation, which could imply that they feel trapped or unable to move forward in their relationship.
Despite this feeling of being trapped, the singer still reaches out and tries to connect with their loved one by "calling from the towers" and asking them to "let it ring out". The next lines suggest a transformation of sorts, as the singer gives up their metaphorical "fortress" and allows their partner to take the reins as the new "king". This could indicate a sense of surrender or a willingness to be vulnerable with their loved one.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "I'm not afraid of fire, it's keeping me alive" as a declaration of strength and resilience. The image of fire as a source of vitality suggests that the challenges and struggles that the singer faces only make them stronger. The lines "meet the ending, you and I, and one of us survives" convey a sense of finality and possibly even confrontation. It could be interpreted as a metaphor for a life or death struggle, where only one person can come out on top.
The song's bridge brings us back to the imagery of the sunrise and the river running red, which could be a symbol of rebirth or even violence. The final chorus repeats the same lines, driving home the message of the song: that no matter what challenges we face, we can find strength in ourselves and in our connections with others.
