Failures
Eva Under Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I look back on all my failed years
Take all that's left of my failures
All that's left of me
I remember that September just
Before the leaves had turned
Starry sky that bond fire night
Nothing in the world could go wrong
Nothing in the world could bring us down
Who said today is different
Living in the moment now
So much has gone wrong along this road
I let it go
Take all that's left of my failures
I look back on all my failed years
Take all that's left of my failures
All that's left of me
Fork in the road stitch up my soul
Left in the cold on the way
Beaten bruised and all confused
I go back to that radio
Nothing in the world could go wrong
Nothing in the world could bring us down
Who said today is different
Living in the moment now
So much has gone on along this road
I let it go
Take all that's left of my failures
I look back on all my failed years
Take all that's left of my failures
All that's left of me
All that's left, all that's left
All that's left, all that's left
All that's left, all that's left
Take all that's left of my failures
(Take what's left of me)
I look back on all my failed years
(I look back on)
Take all that's left of my failures
All that's left of me
The lyrics to Eva Under Fire's song "Failures" convey a sense of reflection and acceptance of past mistakes and failures. The repetition of the phrase "Take all that's left of my failures" emphasizes the idea that the singer is willing to surrender the weight of her mistakes and move forward. The verses provide glimpses into specific memories, like an autumn night by a bonfire and a radio alarm clock, but these moments are contrasted with the realities of a "road" that has been "beaten, bruised, and confused." The refrain "All that's left of me" adds to the overall feeling of surrender and vulnerability.
The song's message is ultimately one of a willingness to grow and overcome the past. The line "Living in the moment now" suggests a newfound appreciation for the present, despite the weight of the past. The final repetition of "Take all that's left of my failures" suggests a sense of closure, as the singer has embraced her past and is ready to move beyond it.

We all fail at something. If we learn from those failures, we will get better as a person.
They make us who we are today.
