White Flag
Cinnamon Chasers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To save my life.
I've got a feeling inside me,
That breaks my heart.
I don't want to hurt you know,
I don't want to hit the ground,
Show me white flag,
I won't fight no more.
My heart, my heart, my heart, my heart,
I won't fight no more.
The lyrics of Cinnamon Chasers's song White Flag express a sense of desperation and surrender in a relationship. The singer addresses this person he loves and admits that they are the only reason for him to keep on going, living his life. This statement holds a lot of weight, suggesting that without the person he is addressing, he is not sure he can continue. However, he also acknowledges that there is an internal feeling that breaks his heart, which is unfortunate.
The singer then goes on to state that he does not want to cause any harm to the person he loves, perhaps because he recognizes that he may be a danger to them. It is also apparent that he recognizes he is approaching a breaking point, and he does not want his actions to lead him to hit the ground. In this regard, the singer shows a sense of self-preservation, where he is beginning to see that he is in a dangerous headspace, and he needs to act before he gets hurt.
Overall, the lyrics to White Flag are incredibly potent, expressing the fragility and vulnerability that is present in relationships. The song conveys a sense of desperation, where the singer needs the person he is addressing to help him continue living. The internal emotions that the singer faces, which threaten to break him, is a poignant reminder of the mental health struggles and the need for support, love and empathy from ourselves and our loved ones.
