Capsella Bursa Pastoris
I:Scintilla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A pushed patience
Will finally take its toll
Burn away lost hours
Burn another hole

[Burn another hole, burn another hole...]
Follow trails of fingertips
Live through your breath
Leaving you will be like
The burden of death

CHORUS
Do we turn to logic or
Follow love blindly
Release all we instilled or
Let it guide us to the end

It's coming back to haunt us
All the things we fought
Words fall from your lips
But never from my thoughts
Let the numbered days lead
Live through your breath
Leaving you will be like
The burden of death

CHORUS
We'll live in this moment
These days will fade through
As we're forced to watch the time
Fade away, fade away on you

In this hole we taste the scars
We waste the end like dying stars
In this hole we taste the scars
We waste--





CHORUS

Overall Meaning

In "Capsella Bursa Pastoris" by I:Scintilla, the lyrics talk about the consequences of impatience and the ultimate burden of love. The first few lines mention how patience that has been pushed for too long will eventually take its toll, causing one to "burn away lost hours" and "burn another hole." The repetition of the latter line emphasizes the cyclical nature of this impatience, indicating the self-destructive patterns that occur when someone is unable to wait for something.


Next, the lyrics describe following trails of fingertips and living through breath, perhaps highlighting the importance of being present in the moment and paying attention to physical touch and sensations. However, leaving someone will be like the burden of death, showing that the potential pain of separation can overshadow the moments of joy and love.


The chorus then poses a question about whether to turn to logic or blindly follow love, ultimately asking whether to release all we have instilled or let it guide us to the end. These lyrics suggest a struggle between practicality and emotion, indicating that there is no clear answer when it comes to making decisions about love.


The bridge delves into darker themes, as the lyrics state that all the things we have fought are now coming back to haunt us, and that words may fall from our lips but never from our thoughts. These lines point to the long-lasting effects of emotional turmoil and the difficulty of moving on from past hurts.
