Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
pour the wine (be over, im)
smile again (getting tired)
play this game (of this game)
were im just a part, an insignificant
(piece wich you can modify)
piece wich you can modify as you please
as you please
did you find me? im not ready to go
(did you find me? im not ready to go)
in this story, im not ready to fall
(ready to fall)
into your eyes, and alibis
excuses play my big mistake
in hearing your (youre always talkin)
words (and i just pretend)
hearing your (im hearing when im)
words (playing deaf)
scatter the ashes i burned in your name
(pick up the pieces forget what i said)
scatter the ashes i burned in your name
scatter them good.
The first verse of "Wine" by Burning Metro discusses the idea of playing a game where the singer is just a part, an insignificant piece that can be modified. This may allude to the concept of relationships as a game where one person may feel powerless or unsure of their role. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "did you find me? I'm not ready to go" and "in this story, I'm not ready to fall," which could refer to the singer's desire to maintain control and independence despite being part of a game or relationship.
The second verse further explores the dynamic between the singer and their partner, suggesting they are tired of the excuses and alibis they hear. The line "scattered the ashes I burned in your name, pick up the pieces, forget what I said" could be interpreted as the singer letting go of the past and moving on from a relationship that may have caused them pain.
The overall tone of the song is one of resignation and dissatisfaction, with the singer acknowledging their role in the game but refusing to be a passive participant. "Wine" by Burning Metro paints a complex picture of relationships and the emotions that come with them.
