Frostbitt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want it all to go away, but it′s my turn
I watch you burn, for things you yearn
You pushed it all over on me, now it's my turn
I watch you burn, for things you yearn
Will you return?
Phoenix, rise
I watch you burn, for things you yearn
Will you return?
I will watch you burn
The lyrics of the song "Phoenix" by Frostbitt reflect the feeling of being trapped and having to bear the burden of somebody else's mistakes. The first verse talks about watching someone else burn for the things they yearn, which could be interpreted as the consequences of their actions catching up with them. The singer wants it all to go away, but it's their turn to deal with the aftermath. This could signify the cycle of mistakes repeating itself, and how the singer is stuck in the middle of it all.
The chorus talks about the 'Phoenix', a mythical bird that rises from its own ashes. This could mean that the singer is hoping for a rebirth or change, a way to break free from the cycle they're currently stuck in. However, the third verse talks again about watching the other person burn and wondering if they'll return, showing that the cycle may not necessarily end.
Overall, the lyrics of "Phoenix" are powerful in their portrayal of being trapped and having to bear the consequences of others' actions. The repetition of "I watch you burn" emphasizes the feeling of being an outsider, watching things happen without being able to do anything about it. The use of the Phoenix as a symbol of hope adds a layer of depth, representing the possibility of a new beginning but also acknowledging the unpredictability of life.
