TRAIN
Four Star Mary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Scars cover a wounded face,
It's not love you wanted when you came back,
Stars... burning have now turned black.
And i hear you're coming home,
And i fear you're all alone.
Fire running through these viens,
Fire burning down this place.
Love will we ever learn?
Burned, wasted and overturned,
Are you lost whenever you try to stand?
Once, you would have held my hand.
Andf i hear you're coming home,
And i fear you're all alone.
[CHORUS]
Fire running through these viens,
Fire burning down this place.
And i know something's wrong,
It's enough to drive you from another heart another one,
And i know something's lost,
You can never find the one.
Fire...
The opening lines of the song "Train" by Four Star Mary paints a vivid picture of chaos and destruction brought about by a passing train. The train metaphorically symbolizes a lover, who has returned with a sense of force and power, but has left scars and wounds in their wake. The lyrics suggest that the return of this lover was not a welcomed one, as the love that was once evident has now turned to ashes. The chorus continues the theme of burning and destruction, with the lines "Fire running through these veins, Fire burning down this place."
The second verse seems to be a reflection on the relationship between the two individuals in the past. It suggests that the love they shared was never really enough, culminating in a sense of loss and uncertainty. The lines, "Love will we ever learn? Burned, wasted, and overturned," suggest that the love that was once shared was short-lived and ultimately unfulfilling. The final line of the verse, "Once, you would have held my hand," reveals a sense of nostalgia, of a love that was once possible but has since been lost.
The chorus repeats once more with its powerful imagery of fire and destruction, but the final lines of the song bring a sense of resignation and acceptance. "And I know something's lost, You can never find the one," suggests that despite the pain and destruction, the singer has come to acknowledge that this love was not meant to be, and the one they were searching for was never meant to be found.
