Ashes
Demotional Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now it seems so lonely
As I stumble through the answers
In this endless agony
The resentment fans the flames
Like pouring salt into a wound
The silence beckons me
Is this the ending?
Through the fire
Rise from the ashes
Never giving in
Every soul ascends to war
Theres a phoenix in us all

Now theres no surrender (no surrender)
And the anger seems to linger
In this hopeless tragedy
A decision has been made
No more broken promises will speak my name

Through the fire
Rise from the ashes
Never giving in
Every soul ascends to war
Theres a phoenix in us all

Fans the flames
(Fans the flames)

Now as I move on
The question still remains (The question still remains)
Is this the ending?

Through the fire
Rise from the ashes
Never giving in
Every soul ascends to war
Theres a phoenix in us all

Through the fire
Rise from the ashes




Every soul ascends to war
Theres a phoenix in us all

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Ashes" by Demotional explore themes of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.

The imagery of fire and the phoenix is used throughout the song to symbolize transformation and rebirth.


The first verse describes the singer's struggle to find answers to their problems, and how the resentment they feel only makes their pain worse. The silence that surrounds them is a metaphor for their isolation and the feeling of being alone in their struggle.
