Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am standing right here
Hello, are you listening?
Can you hear me?
I am, I am screaming in your ear
I have nothing to fear
I have nothing to say
Years of screaming in pain
Years of anger and rage
I will not be your slave
So here we are
This is the end
But all that dies
Is born again
The scars will still remain
From the ashes, I will rise again
Goodbye, hello
Goodbye
I leave you in this moment
It’s time to strip you of this hold
Goodbye
I will shed myself of this memory
But you
You won’t forget me
I will haunt you til the truth unfolds
I have nothing to fear
I have nothing to say
You have nothing to take this from me
Years of screaming in pain
Years of anger and rage
I will not be your slave
So here we are
This is the end
But all that dies
Is born again
The scars will still remain
From the ashes, I will rise again
Goodbye, hello
So here we are
This is the end
But all that dies
Is born again
Hello
Hello
Hello
The lyrics to "From the Ashes" by In This Moment tell a story of empowerment and resilience. The singer addresses someone who has hurt them in the past, asking for their attention and declaring their strength. Despite years of pain and anger, the singer will not be controlled or silenced by this person anymore. Part of this person's hold on the singer is a memory that needs to be shed, but the singer promises that they will always be remembered and will haunt the person until the truth is revealed.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with the singer declaring that despite this difficult ending, something new and beautiful will be born out of the ashes. The scars left by this conflict will still be present, but the singer will rise again even stronger. The repeated "hello" at the end of the song could be seen as a final attempt to connect with the person addressed, or as a proclamation of the singer's own survival.

Hello
A greeting, acknowledging the potential for new experiences and opportunities
Hello
A reminder that despite endings, there is always a chance for a new beginning
