Embers
James Newman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But as long as you're with me I'll never get cold
Day and night, 'til darkness and light
I never worry when you're by my side
Oh, feelings change and seasons fade
But nothing will burn us out
Nothing can stop us now
Out of the embers
You and I are gonna light up the room (yeah, you and I gonna light up the room)
Out of the embers
There's a fire burning for you (yeah, there's a fire burning for you)
I feel the heat here
There's still a chance for us
Down here in the ashes, yeah, there's something growing
Out of the embers
You and I are gonna light up the room (yeah, you and I gonna light)
Light up the room
Light up the room
You and me forever, we're free
We're cool under pressure, and that's all we need
So take my hand, and forget the past
We're in this together, there's no looking back
Oh, feelings change and seasons fade
But nothing will burn us out
Nothing can stop us now
Out of the embers
You and I are gonna light up the room (yeah, you and I gonna light up the room)
Out of the embers
There's a fire burning for you (yeah, there's a fire burning for you)
I feel the heat here
There's still a chance for us
Down here in the ashes, yeah, there's something growing
Out of the embers
You and I are gonna light up the room (yeah, you and I gonna light)
Light up the room
Out of the embers
You and I are gonna light up the room (yeah, you and I gonna light up the room)
Out of the embers
You and I are gonna light up the room (yeah, you and I gonna light up the room)
Oh yeah
Light up the room
Light up the room
The lyrics to James Newman's song "Embers" express a sentiment of hope and renewal in the face of adversity. The opening lines suggest a vulnerability ("Sometimes I know my fire burns low"), but this is offset by the reassurance that the presence of a loved one is enough to sustain the flame, regardless of external circumstances ("But as long as you're with me I'll never get cold"). The chorus reinforces this idea of resilience, with the repeated declaration that "Out of the embers, you and I are gonna light up the room". The notion of growth emerging from the ashes is also hinted at ("Down here in the ashes, yeah, there's something growing"). Overall, the lyrics are a celebration of love and the power it has to help us weather difficult times.
Other notable themes in the song include the idea of a fresh start ("Forget the past / We're in this together, there's no looking back"), as well as a sense of fun and liveliness ("Light up the room"). The repetition of the chorus invites listeners to join in the exuberance, creating a sense of unity and shared joy. The lyrics are straightforward and easy to understand, but there is a depth to them as well - the use of fire as a metaphor for emotions suggests that although feelings may change, they can always be reignited with the right kind of care.
