Ashes
CĂ©line Dion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's left to say?
These prayers ain't working anymore
Every word shot down in flames
What's left to do with these broken pieces on the floor?
I'm losing my voice calling on you

'Cause I've been shaking
I've been bending backwards 'til I'm broke
Watching all these dreams go up in smoke

Let beauty come out of ashes
Let beauty come out of ashes
And when I pray to God all I ask is
Can beauty come out of ashes?

Can you use these tears to put out the fires in my soul?
'Cause I need you here, whoa

'Cause I've been shaking
I've been bending backwards 'til I'm broke
Watching all these dreams go up in smoke

Let beauty come out of ashes
Let beauty come out of ashes
And when I pray to God all I ask is
Can beauty come out of ashes?





Can beauty come out of ashes?

Overall Meaning

She asks “What’s left to say?” implying that there is nothing that can be done to fix what has been broken.

The singer then goes on to express her desperation by saying that she’s losing her voice calling on God. She’s been “shaking” and “bending backwards till [she’s] broke,” indicating that the situation has taken a physical, as well as emotional, toll on her.

The repetition of “Let beauty come out of ashes” and “Can beauty come out of ashes?” serves to underscore the singer’s plea for something positive to come out of the situation, suggesting that she believes that good can come out of even the most dire circumstances.

@@Needak628 BIBLE calls us all to be real, sober minded souls, who live holy lives on earth.
BIBLE calls nor expect nobody to be:
- religious of any kind
- monk
- nun
BIBLE expect us to turn our LACK OF KNOWLEDGE into KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH (HOSEA 4:6)
Each human life on earth:
- repent
- BORN AGAIN and GO AND SIN NO MORE
- be baptised in HOLY SPIRIT /THE COMFORTER
- LIVE HOLY
= soul, after earthly death in HEAVEN. Easy logic, asks no degree in anything.

Bible calls us to give out RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT, no to keep our mouth shut and support everything with blind eyes and deaf ears.

See no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil – that old saying, it belongs to masons, am I right again? The vow of silence of theirs.

SOULS, dare to read and study BIBLE (KJV) and search about FREEMASONRY.

THE FACT THAT CELINE CALLED HIM "SPIDER-MAN" HAS ME DEAD LMFAOOOO

@amberg4131

The fact Ryan helped Celine through the roughest part of her life when her husband died,when she was just out there with these young men was very sweet and a special moment for her and Ryan. The interview with Ryan about this moment was so very heartwarming that he reached out to her and essentially saved her was so endearing.

@TheAllSeeingEye4812

He did? That's amazing! Ryan Reynolds is the perfect man

@pattyduval1286

I had no clue about this story. Ryan is like 1 of my most dearest actors. I love every movie, even his Mint Mobile commercial.❀
