On The Way
Lost in Tears Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've come so close to the sun
That the melting has begun
I'm burning up inside
Soon we collide

I've come so close to the flame
That every things the same
I shiver as I burn
There's no return

[Chorus:]

I'm on the way, way back home
I'm on the way, way back to the sacred stone
I'm on the way back home again

I've come so close to the fire
And I keep on getting higher
I'm dancing on the way
Towards my grave

I've come so close to the sun
That all is said and done
I'm burning up in pain
I'm born again

No god can save me but you can easily
Keep my heart warm and tame my agony




No god can kill me, my goddess this is no lie
If you should leave me, I would surely die.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lost in Tears' song "On The Way" depict the experience of being consumed by passion and desire to the point of destruction. The singer has come so close to the sun or flame, representing the intensity of their desire, that they have begun to melt or burn up inside. Despite the shivers and pain, they are unable to turn back, and soon they will collide with their object of desire.


The chorus offers a glimmer of hope, as the singer emphasizes their journey back home to the "sacred stone." The repeated phrase "I'm on the way" suggests a sense of purpose and determination, despite the turmoil and destruction all around. The singer acknowledges the inevitability of their eventual demise, saying they are dancing towards their grave, but also suggests that this destruction leads to rebirth- "I'm born again."


The final verse reiterates the singer's desperation for their lover, acknowledging that no god can save them but their lover can keep their heart warm and tame their agony. They even go so far as to claim that if their lover were to leave them, they would surely die. This obsessive and self-destructive love is at the heart of the song's theme, and the lyrics are an emotive expression of the intensity of that experience.

Love this album! Lead guitar melodies and harmonies are brilliant. Just a shame that the vocalist doesn't use harsh vocals more as they are very good.
