Ashes
Matt Tuck Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Try to forget what I did
Guilt beginning to settle in
Let's not pretend that it's alright
I could not stay to watch us fall apart

I left you behind with nothing, no one
I left myself with these wounds, this pain (and now)

You are nothing but ashes left of all I once knew
You are no more than a memory
Burning with the truth

Save us both from the heartache
Was it so hard to walk away?
You are innocence at it's best
I do not deserve what you offer

I left you behind with nothing, no one
I left myself with these wounds, this pain (and now)

You are nothing but ashes left of all I once knew
You are no more than a memory
Burning with the truth

Nothing but ashes

I left you behind with nothing, no one
I left myself with these wounds, this pain (and now, now, now)

You are nothing but ashes left of all I once knew
You are no more than a memory
Burning with the truth

Nothing but ashes!

The singer seems to have done something that they deeply regret and are grappling with the consequences of their actions. The opening lines "Try to forget what I did, guilt beginning to settle in" suggest that the singer is trying to move past the pain they caused, but is struggling with the guilt that is weighing them down.

The chorus "You are nothing but ashes left of all I once knew, you are no more than a memory, burning with the truth" speaks to the idea that the singer's actions have had a devastating impact on their relationship, reducing everything they once had to ashes. The mention of "the truth" suggests that the singer's actions were motivated by honesty, however painful it may have been.

The lines "Save us both from the heartache, was it so hard to walk away?" indicate that the singer may have been trying to preserve their own emotions by leaving the relationship, but in doing so they caused their partner a great deal of pain. The final repetition of "nothing but ashes" drives home the idea that everything has been destroyed - there is no going back to what once was.
