Blowing My Flame
Demise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the bustle of fears and passion, flood of words
In the crowd of human's emotions, I'm lost without edges
I don't know my own place... and scream
Awakened at night, I got hurt with the day
I didn't know where I was and then I hid
But suddenly I stopped and understood my thoughts
Being stupor but real, alive
From now I was painting my life as I wanted
I directed every important events
It was pleasant, laugher at their failures
Got me inside a tunnel without exit
I didn't want anything from that moment
Pride and satisfaction pierced my body
Like a thorn, signed with the will of existence
I was walking up and down my cage, locked from the outside
I wanted to keep on blowing my flame




Being in candles of people undesired
The light went out and with this flame my hopes and desires

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Demise's song Blowing My Flame describe the singer's struggle with finding their place in the world and the emotions that come with that struggle. The singer is lost in a sea of human emotions, overwhelmed by the bustle of fears and passions around them. Without clear edges, they don't know where they belong and they scream in frustration. They're hurt by the day, awakened at night, and don't know where they are. They hide, but then they finally stop and understand their thoughts. They're alive, in a stupor, but real. They start to paint their life as they want it, directing every important event. They laugh at others' failures and feel pride and satisfaction. But they're still locked in a cage, walking up and down with no exit. They keep blowing their flame, even among undesired people. But then, the light goes out, and with it, their hopes and desires.
