My Old Flame
Musikjury Titel Nr. 7 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make a Happy Meal a portion for one
You steal the wallet of a man with a gun
You make this seem like a whole lot of fun
Yeah you do
You'll make new shapes with your hands on a wall
You wouldn't care if you had nothing at all
Instead of chasing the dream
You're just chasing a ball
Yeah you are
You're just dodging all the friendly fire
You're never dressed in the right attire
You miss the start of every game
You're my flame
You make hay when the sun don't shine
You don't need a dollar, you don't need a dime
You burn at both ends yet still you're fine
You're my flame
Teach me to haggle
I'll teach you to swim
Get right back on the saddle
Push me on a swing
Take me to Rio
I'll take you to Berlin
I'll give you some yarn
And you'll give it some spin
Yes you will
Now you're sitting sure, yes, in an old tree
You've tied our legs, and so now we have three
You dip your toes into the ice cold sea
I see your reflection, your reflection is me
Yes I am
You're just dodging all the friendly fire
You're never dressed in the right attire
You miss the start of every game
You're my flame
You make hay when the sun don't shine
You don't need a dollar, you don't need a dime
You burn at both ends yet still you're fine
You're my flame
You're my flame
You're my flame
You're my flame
You're my flame
You're my flame
You're my flame
The lyrics of "My Old Flame" by Musikjury Titel Nr. 7 perfectly capture the complexity of the subject matter: a relationship with a partner who is unpredictable and exciting but also unreliable and difficult to pin down. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer is taking a walk at sunrise, which could be interpreted as the beginning of a new day or a new chapter in their life. However, this brightness and optimism is quickly subverted by the next line, which describes a "Happy Meal a portion for one" that underscores the singer's loneliness and isolation. This sense of alienation is further amplified by the next two lines, which refer to theft and danger, suggesting a life of risk-taking and thrill-seeking.
However, despite the apparent danger and lack of stability in the singer's life, they still manage to find joy and fulfillment. The lyrics describe the singer as someone who is capable of creating art ("new shapes with your hands on a wall") and multitasking ("driving a nail while you're taking a call"). The chorus emphasizes the singer's admirable qualities, such as their ability to make the best of any situation ("you make hay when the sun don't shine"), their independence and self-sufficiency ("you don't need a dollar, you don't need a dime"), and their resilience and strength ("you burn at both ends yet still you're fine"). Overall, "My Old Flame" is a celebration of a partner who is both challenging and rewarding, highlighting the unique joys and frustrations of a complex relationship.
