volcano
Emily Hearn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's like a natural disaster
We were fire and hope
Now we're ashes and smoke
Love burned out slow
Like a volcano
A volcano
When you lose the one you wanted
It's like a part of you is haunted
And you're desparate for hope
But the ashes and smoke
Are covering the ground
Like a volcano
A volcano
Volcano gone cold
And sometimes love
Love just ain't enough
And sometimes dreams
Dreams just turn to dust
Sometimes love
Love just ain't enough
Baby we're ashes and smoke
Like a volcano gone cold
Maybe love just ain't enough
Like a volcano
(Baby we're ashes and smoke)
A volcano
(Like a volcano gone cold)
Volcano gone cold
Like a volcano
(Baby we're ashes and smoke)
A volcano
(Like a volcano gone cold)
Volcano gone cold
Emily Hearn's song "Volcano" is a powerful and emotional representation of the aftermath of a failed relationship. The lyrics describe the singer's heartbreak by using a metaphor of a natural disaster, specifically a volcano. In the beginning of the song, the singer says that their heart was falling for someone but now it is shattered. The relationship felt like a wildfire, full of hope and passion, but now is nothing but "ashes and smoke." The all-consuming love that once kept the fire alight has disappeared, leaving a cold and desolate aftermath.
The song speaks to the pain of losing someone who was significant in your life. When that love is gone, it can feel like a part of you is missing, haunted by memories and what-ifs. However, hoping to fix what has crumbled is often too difficult. The love that used to be a burning flame is now scattered, covering the ground like ash from a volcano eruption. The chorus repeats the metaphor of a volcano several times, emphasizing the devastating aftermath of heartbreak. The song concludes with the realization that sometimes love just isn't enough to save a relationship, and that the remains of the destroyed love are nothing but ashes and smoke from a once-passionate volcano.
